Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
• 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.
• 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product
• 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

give coefficient
aAI(NO₃)₃ +bNa₂SO₄ →
Al₂(SO₄)₃ +c
NaNO₃
Al, left=a, right=2⇒a=2
N, left=3a, right=c⇒3a=c⇒3.2=c⇒c=6
Na, left=2b, right=c⇒2b=c⇒2b=6⇒b=3
The equation becomes :
2AI(NO₃)₃ +3Na₂SO₄ →
Al₂(SO₄)₃ +6NaNO₃
Nuclear energy comes from splitting of Barium atom to form Krypton atom
Mass of KCl= 19.57 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
12.6 g of Oxygen
Required
mass of KCl
Solution
Reaction
2KClO3 ⇒ 2KCl + 3O2
mol O2 :
= mass : MW
= 12.6 : 32 g/mol
= 0.39375
From the equation, mol KCl :
= 2/3 x mol O2
= 2/3 x 0.39375
=0.2625
Mass KCl :
= mol x MW
= 0.2625 x 74,5513 g/mol
= 19.57 g
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
