. Balance these equations: (a) ____Fe(s) + ____O2(g)h____ Fe2O3(s) (b) ____H2(g) + ____N2(g)h____NH3(g) (c) ____Cl2(g) + ____KBr(aq)h____Br2(l ) +____KCl (aq) (d) ____CH4(g) + ____O2(g)h____CO2(g) +____H2O(l ) @diolle
what's the formula in finding the amu?
????
can you help me answer this? The element nitrogen has an atomic weight of 14.0 and consists of two stable isotopes nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15. The isotope nitrogen-14 has an atomic mass of 14.0 amu and a percent natural abundance of 99.6 %. The isotope nitrogen-15 has a percent natural abundance of 0.370 %. What is the atomic mass of nitrogen-15?________amu
?
14.0
wrong
oh it's 15
yeah
just solved it.
i just solved what?
\[[14.0 - 0.996 14.0]/3.70e=15.0 amu\] is that right?
ok but hoe dp i balance these?
sorry can't help you with that. I don't know that one
yes that is right
can anyone balance these equations i don't get it?
Alright, so you just have to balance these so that they are equal on both sides: a) \[4Fe + 3O _{2} \rightarrow 2Fe _{2}O_{3}\] b) 3H2 + N2 = 2NH3 c) Cl2 + 2KBr = Br2 + 2KCl d) CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H20
Like in a), all you have to do is find a common multiple between 3 and 2 (6) to balance your oxygen on both sides of the equation. So if you multiply Fe2O3 by 2, you will have 2FeO3 (2 Fe, and 6 O) Likewise, if you multiply O2 by a coefficent of 3, you will have 6 O on that side, thus balancing the oxygen. Then, simply balance the remaining Fe. There are 4 Fe (2 x 2) on the products side, so you must have a coefficient of 4 on the reactants side. Tip: It may be easier to balance your compounds first, especially ones containing O, and then tackle the elements and ions. Hope this helps!
