Aluminium belongs to group number 3. Therefore, it have 3valance electrons.while oxygen belongs to 6th group there fore it have. 6 valance electrons.
For to complete valancy oxygen needs two electron.
Now the balancing can be performed as;

4Al + 3O2———— 2Al2O3
EXPLANATION:

Aluminium have 3 valance electrons. So 4 aluminium have 12 electrons. Each oxygen can take 2 electrons so 6 Oxygen atoms can take 12 electrons.

So the number of loss and gain of electrons are equal and the number of elements on the reactant side is equal to the product side. Therefore, the equation is said to be a balance.

What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, c2h6? in this reaction,

Vitek1552 [10]

Balance equation for combustion of ethane will be:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

To balance the equation:

1. Balance the number of carbon atom on both side:

C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g)--------> CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

1. balance the number of carbon on both side, as in reactant there are 2 but in product one,

so , multiply the CO₂, by 2 in the product.

2. Balance the number of hydrogen on both side as in reactant the number of hydrogen is 3 but in product it is 6 so, multiplythe number of H₂O by 3,

so multiply the number of H₂O by 3 in product.

3. Balance the number of oxygen on both side , as 1 and 2 step increases the number of oxygen and it becomes 7 , so to balance the number of oxygen on both side by mutiplying the number of O₂ by 7/2 in reactant .

4. Now, doubling the equation will give balance equation that is:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

Benzene exists as a resonance hybrid and its bonds exhibit characteristics that are halfway between single and double bonds. Res

gregori [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can only talk about resonance hybrid for a compound in which more than one structure is possible based on its observed chemical properties.

There are compounds whose chemical properties can not be satisfactorily explained on the basis of a single chemical structure. In the case of such compounds, we invoke the idea of resonance.

A resonance hybrid is a single structure drawn to represent a given chemical specie which exhibits resonance behaviour and can otherwise be represented on paper in the form of an average of two or more chemical structures separated each from the next by a double-headed arrow.

If the reactants have a potential energy of 10.2 kJ/mol and the products have a potential

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

To calculate the ∆H (heat of reaction) of the combustion reaction, that is, the heat that accompanies the entire reaction, you must make the total sum of all the heats of the products and of the reagents affected by their stoichiometric coefficient ( number of molecules of each compound participating in the reaction) and finally subtract them:

Combustion enthalpy = ΔH = ∑H products - ∑Hreactants

In this case:

ΔH = 15.7 kJ/mol - 10.2 kJ/mol= 5.5 kJ/mol

An endothermic reaction is one whose enthalpy value is positive, that is, the system absorbs heat from the environment (ΔH> 0).

<u><em>The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.</em></u>
