Help, ss below.

snowflake0531:

I have a question, do you know how to do it, and just too lazy to do it xd, or do you have no clue how to do it?

Astrid1:

I don't have a clue how to do it.

snowflake0531:

okie then wait, let me first do them xd

snowflake0531:

Okay, so I'll explain what you kinda have to do to do this 1. Imagine the __ as x, each expression multiplied by x, added together, has to equal the other side 2. This is called balancing chemical equations because you have to balance the values, multiplying the expressions by a certain value, kind of like least common multiple ish thing The first one is pretty easy, you should try it

snowflake0531:

For example, looking at each side, I can see that the left side as K, but the right side is K (underneath thing) 2 Which means for the first one, I should try to put a 2 in front of it, but then, this means that N is also 2, but the right side has only 1 N, which means I should put a 2 in front of the last expression, to even that out

Astrid1:

I think this may be relative but in the assignment, as you said we can use x as the anonymous number. If I were to take x times 3 would that be the same?

Astrid1:

Well when we were using equations the number at teh start of the complete equation is what we would use for the number next to it. Such as,.. \[ _{2}H _{2} +20 \rightarrow 2~H _{2} O \] We than would take the letters and the numbers. H= 4 H=2 O=2 O=2 And, yeah.

snowflake0531:

i'm confused lol i'll write out the first one for you, give me a minute xd

Astrid1:

Okay, I am actually going to get offline, but I should be on later. If not, I will be online at 6 am tomorrow, maybe earlier.

snowflake0531:

i won't wake up at 6 for you


Astrid1:

I know you wont.

snowflake0531:

hehe, i'll finish those tonight dm me tomorrow to remind me lol

snowflake0531:

i finished it xddd if you come on tonight later, i can help

snowflake0531:

he did it already for you LOL

snowflake0531:

and yea, i got the same thing

snowflake0531:

So, first pulling out the first one

snowflake0531:

By balancing it, you need the amount of chemicals on each side equal, so, by the end, you should be able to cancel out everything

snowflake0531:

i mean, the other dude i already did it for you lmaoo do you want to actual go through on how to do that?

Astrid1:

I mean, You he could've just taught me but ig. I can't read the yellow, are they brackets?

snowflake0531:

Not necessarily, he just drew them out to show what was being multiplied

Astrid1:

Yeh, explain to me that stufff, I don't understand any of it. HELP.

snowflake0531:

Like, \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 For example, looking at each side, I can see that the left side as K, but the right side is K (underneath thing) 2 Which means for the first one, I should try to put a 2 in front of it, but then, this means that N is also 2, but the right side has only 1 N, which means I should put a 2 in front of the last expression, to even that out \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) By putting numbers in front of each part of the each expression, it multiplying each of them by two, the numbers little, on the right down side, will multiply by two. But each time, because it's multiplying a bunch of ones together, it becomes uneven again That is why, for the first one, after multiplying the left one by two, you have to relook and see that N will also need to be multiplied by 2

snowflake0531:

Uh, let me see if the drawing tool will be big enough for me to draw that lol, probably not tho

snowflake0531:

|dw:1616592089522:dw| i have officially realized how difficult it is to draw a 2 and 3-

snowflake0531:

First off, you can immediately see that the top have has only 1K, while the bottom was has 2 So, we can add a 2 to the beginning of that |dw:1616592316264:dw|

snowflake0531:

And because now that the K has even out, we can see that there are 3 more O's in the top, also 1 more N This makes us have to multiply the bottom right one by 2 to even that out (this is the most simplistic kind, usually you'll have to find much more multiples of each expression |dw:1616592476557:dw|

snowflake0531:

then, the easiest way to check work is to write them all out again and see if they cancel one another

Astrid1:

Okay.

snowflake0531:

(those that don't have numbers written in front means that it's 1) In this case 2K, 2N, 6O, 2H, C, 3O 2K C 3O, 2H, 2N, 6O

snowflake0531:

And if you match them, they all cancel out at the end-

snowflake0531:

This balancing is kinda just a guessing game xddddd

Astrid1:

Yeah.

Astrid1:

Ngl, I am still not getting it. I know you've been trying, I still barely get it.

snowflake0531:

sorryyyyyy

Astrid1:

It is okay. xD

snowflake0531:

also btw, you can also look through this ig, it'll help, I think https://www.webqc.org/balance.php

Astrid1:

@Angle Ehh? You capable of helping in this junk? @Darkknight What about yo darky? Also, Snowy I've used that link already and I still can't figure out that link.

QuestionCoveBot:

@AZ - Are you good at this? ._.

Angle:

Here are some resources: https://www.wikihow.com/Balance-Chemical-Equations https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Balance-a-Chemical-Equation-1/#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20balance%20the,until%20both%20sides%20are%20equal. balancing equations was the only part of chemistry that I could do, but I'm not confident enough to actually explain it well if you still need help, I can try
