2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2

Equations like this are always solved by simultaneous equations using 1Na +xH2O = aNaOH + bH2 which gives

1=a from Na

2x=a+2b from H

x=a from O

so x=1, b=0.5 then multiply the whole equation by 2 to get whole numbers without upsetting the balance.

What chemical reactions do cops use to solve a crime?

precipitation reactions are one way to deter what ions are present in a reaction for example sodium hydroxide reacts with metal ions like copper, it will then form a blue/green precipitate which is an insoluble solid - copper hydroxide - so you would know that copper ions are present in the solution


How do you solve for n in the Van Der Waals equation?

In short just use algebra to get the equation below Start with [P + a*(n/V)^2] * (V - nb) = nRT which is the standard Van Der Waals equation and solve for n using algebra. which gives the 3rd order equation below. -(ab/V^2)*n^3 + (a/V)*n^2 - (bP+RT)*n + PV = 0 The simplest way to solve this equation is to enter it into Excel and graph it with multible values of n from 0 to whatever gets you to zero. The value that gives you zero is the answer. Be sure you use all the proper units for the other varables. Hope this helps.


Why must a chemical equation be balanced to solve stoichiometry problems?

Because chemical reactions take place in molar ratios. The number of moles of each kind of atom has to be the same on both sides of the equation.


What is the chemical equation for sulfur hexafluoride?

It is SF6 but i don't know how you would represent the chemical bonding formula and how you would solve it. its a tricky one.


How many grams of solid sodium hydroxide would need to be added to completely neutralize 35.0 mL of 1.45 M HBr?

This is a titration question: we want to have the same number of hydroxide ions as hydroxide ions so that they will form water and the pH will be neutral. In chemistry, we count atoms and molecules in moles, and we can calculate how many moles of HBr we have, because concentration in molarity is the number of moles divided by the volume in liters... M = moles/V. We plug in what we got: 1.45M = moles/0.0350L, and solve for moles: 0.0508 moles. Now we know we need 0.0508 moles of NaOH, whose molecular weight is 40g/mole. MW x moles = grams, so (40g/mole)(0.0508 moles) = 2.03 g of NaOH.
