Answer:
I think the answer is gravity
Answer:
- <em>To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the </em><u>coefficients.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> of a <em>chemical equation</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each reactant and product. They are used to balance the equation and comply with the law of mass conservation.
By adjusting the coefficients you obtain the relative amounts (moles) of each product and reactant, i.e. the mole ratios.
Here an example.
The first information is what is called a word equation. E.g. nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:
- Word equation: hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia
- Skeleton equation: H₂ + N₂ → NH₃
This equation shows the chemical formulae but it is not balanced. The law of mass conservation is not observed.
So, in order to comply with the law of mass conservation you adjust the coefficients as follow.
- Balanced chemical equation: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃
As you see, it was necessary to modify the coefficients. Now the law of conservation of mass is observed and you get the mole ratios:
- 3 mol H₂ : 1 mol N₂ : 2 mol NH₃
Answer:
The sum of each elementary step in a reaction mechanism must yield the overall reaction equation. From the rate law of the rate-determining step it must agree with the experimentally determined rate law. The rate-determining step is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism. Because it is the slowest, it determines the rate of the overall reaction.
Explanation:
Answer:
<u>STEP I</u>
This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-
<u>STEP II</u>
The compounds marked with (aq) are soluble ionic compounds. They must be
broken into their respective ions.
see, in the equation KOH, H2SO4, and K2SO4 are marked with (aq).
On breaking them into their respective ions :-
- 2KOH -> 2K+ + 2OH-
- H2SO4 -> 2H+ + (SO4)2-
- K2SO4 -> 2K+ + (SO4)2-
<u>STEP III</u>
Rewriting these in the form of equation
<u>STEP </u><u>IV</u>
Canceling spectator ions, the ions that appear the same on either side of the equation
<em>(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)</em>
This is the net ionic equation.
____________________________
- KOH has been taken as aqueous because the question informs us that we have a solution of KOH. by solution it means that KOH has been dissolved in water before use.
[Alkali metal hydroxides are the only halides soluble in water ]
