Why does his teacher ask him to balance the equation by including the correct coefficients?

It is important to balance the equation, so that you know the exact ratio of reactants required and products formed. If you don't consult a balanced equation, some of your reactant may not completely consume in reaction or sufficient product is not formed during experiments.


Why must a chemical equations be balanced?

Matter is conserved in a chemical reaction, meaning nothing "disappears" when compounds react. Accordingly, the number of atoms you start with has to be the number of atoms you end with. Similarly, no element can become another element, so there must be the same number of each kind of atom at the start and at the end. If you don't balance the equation, you cannot use it to calculate yield. When you balance the equation, you are applying the law of 'Conservation of Mass' or as some like to include 'Conservation of Mass and Energy'.


Is mgo an acid?

No. MgO is a base. How is it a base you say? Look at the following chemical equation: MgO + H20 ----> MgOH + OH- And then, MgOH -----> Mg+ + OH- So I guess you get two for one. I'm only a chemistry student, so you might want to look somewhere else too for an answer.


A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What if anything is wrong with the drawing?

Without seeing the drawing, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact issue. However, potential problems could include incorrect placement of reactants and products, missing or extra elements, incorrect chemical structures, or incorrect stoichiometry. The student should review the reaction equation and ensure that the drawing accurately represents the chemical reaction.


Why MgCl2 but not MgCl?

This means that there is 1 magnesium atom and 2 chlorine atoms. The "2" means that there's 2 of that atom. You could ditch the "2" but its not 'right' and if your a student having the 2 will give you a higher mark. Whoever made the first answer made it way to complected.

Is there a website that will balance chemical equations for you?

Tutor vista dot com, but you have to pay for it. As a student who has taken multiple chemistry courses, I strongly recommend that you learn how to balance the equations yourself - you will have to do so on your tests and the skill is a foundation skill for the rest of your year in chemistry.

Why can't I see my student loan balance?

You may not be able to see your student loan balance because it could be managed by a different loan servicer or because there may be a delay in updating the information. Contact your loan servicer directly to get the most up-to-date information on your student loan balance.
