1. Subscript is below
2. Coefficient large 2 indicates the number of moles
3. Atoms
1/2 O2 + H2 —> H2O
It’s the atoms that balance on each side
Notes that 1/2 is the coefficient and 2 is the subscript in H2 and H2O
the answer is D. John Newlands <3
M=11.20 g
m(H₂)=0.6854 g
M(H₂)=2.016 g/mol
M(Mg)=24.305 g/mol
M(Zn)=65.39 g/mol
w-?
m(Mg)=wm
m(Zn)=(1-w)m
Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl₂ + H₂
m₁(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Zn)/M(Zn)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)
Mg + 2HCl = MgCl₂ + H₂
m₂(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Mg)/M(Mg)=M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)
m(H₂)=m₁(H₂)+m₂(H₂)
m(H₂)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)+M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}
m(H₂)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}
(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}
1/M(Zn)-w/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}
w(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)
w=[m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)]/(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))
w=0.583 (58.3%)
D
Molecules consist of multiple atoms put together to create a new form.
