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 pressure is higher than the atmospheric one, therefore the temperature is less.
Explanation:
When it is closed permanently, the pressure of the pot inside it increases, generating that the atoms and particles of the water are closer together, increasing their kinetic energy, if intermolecular friction and therefore the boiling point is lower, because the water reaches a boil or boil at a lower temperature.
To convert the given value to the desired one, use the proper unit conversions and dimensional analysis. Use the following conversion for the first set.
1 g = 100 cg
1 L = 1000 mL
Using the concept presented above,
V = (59800 cg/L)(1 g/100 cg)1 L/1000 mL)
V = 0.598 g/mL
