Can you elaborate this a little more?
Answer:
14 is the 1 st one and the 15 is 3
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Reactants:</u>
The reactants are:
- <em>Molecular chlorine</em>: this is a gas diatomic molecule, i.e. Cl₂ (g)
- <em>Molecular fluorine</em>: this is also a gas diatomic molecule: F₂ (g)
<u>2) Stoichiometric coefficients:</u>
- <em>One volume of Cl₂ react with three volumes of F₂</em> means that the reaction is represented with coefficients 1 for Cl₂ and 3 for F₂. So, the reactant side of the chemical equation is:
Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) →
<u>3) Product:</u>
- It is said that the reaction yields <em>two volumes of a gaseous product;</em> then, a mass balance indicates that the two volumes must contain 2 parts of Cl and 6 parts of F. So, one volume must contain 1 part of Cl and 3 parts of F. That is easy to see in the complete chemical equation:
Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) → 2Cl F₃ (g)
As you see, that last equation si balanced: 2 atoms of Cl and 6 atoms of F on each side, and you conclude that the formula of the product is ClF₃.
