An 2? Why the 2 after?

colouringme · Answer

there's no 2, sorry, my mistake

wolfe8 · Answer

Ah ok. Well, can you do the same thing we did last night? Set up the equation using volume ratio.

colouringme · Answer

A + 2B --> AB2 ?

All of the variable are different, they confuse me.

wolfe8 · Answer

You have the first part right. It would be like this if you recall: A + 2B --> AxBy and you can determine x and y from here. After that, I will show you how to get n and m which are the charges. :)

wolfe8 · Answer

Hmm this looks a bit weird.

wolfe8 · Answer

I guess m and n are not charges, but numbers. Let me think this out.

wolfe8 · Answer

Well logically, we need 2 B's for every A so I think that equation solves x and y. (WHOAH had dejavu right here) After we put in x and y, we can determine m and n.

colouringme · Answer

Oh no, I lost you. ): What should I do?

wolfe8 · Answer

Balance the equation I gave you. Find x and y. Note here I might be wrong here.

colouringme · Answer

Okay, I'll do it (: Thankss!

wolfe8 · Answer

You're welcome. Did you solve it?
