Chemical Equations

GO to Google.com and type in balancing chemical equations and click the 3rd one. It balances it for you. Just type in the formula. :]

Sodium + Oxygen = Sodium Oxide

4Na + O2 = 2Na2O

Sodium + Oxygen = Sodium Peroxide

2Na + O2 = Na2O2

The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of ethane (C2H6) to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 -> 4 CO2 + 6 H2O. This equation shows that two molecules of ethane react with seven molecules of oxygen to produce four molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water.

The chemical equation for the coupled process of graphite (C) to carbon dioxide (CO2) involves two reactions: first, the combustion of graphite to form carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2); and second, the oxidation of carbon monoxide to form additional carbon dioxide. The overall equation is: C(graphite) + O2 → CO + CO2, followed by 2CO + O2 → 2CO2.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

3H3PO4 + 6Ca(OH)2 -> 2Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

This balanced equation ensures that there is conservation of mass for each element present in the reaction.

The chemical equation for the reaction between carbon dioxide and oxygen to form methane is not possible as it involves a reduction process, which is not spontaneous under normal conditions. Methane is usually produced through other processes, such as the reaction between hydrogen and carbon dioxide known as Sabatier reaction.

The correct way to write a chemical equation is: Reactants -> Products. This means that the reactants on the left side of the arrow are converted into products on the right side. The double arrow symbol <=> can be used to indicate that the reaction can proceed in both directions to reach an equilibrium.

A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and formulae, wherein the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities on the right-hand side.

The Law Of conservation of mass comes into play here. If you start our with 15 carbons and add water in the product you can't have 17 carbons and water. where did the extra come from? Also you cannot loose any atoms because they cannot be destroyed, they have to go somewhere.

Balancing a chemical equation is an example of the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Balancing ensures that the total number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation.

The coefficient (not a subscript or superscript) placed immediately before the formula of the reactant in the equation shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in the reaction. If there is no explicit coefficient, a value of 1 for the coefficient is assumed.

The coefficient in front of the molecule tells its relative number of moles.

Do you mean molecular formula? chemical equations or balanced chemical equations are only used in reactions. Ammonium is (N4H)+ whereas nitrate is (NO3)-, thus the molecular formula is NH4NO3

A catalyst is written above the arrow in a chemical equation to show that it is not consumed in the reaction and thus does not appear in the overall stoichiometry of the reaction. This means that it does not take part in the reaction as a reactant or a product, but it still helps in speeding up the reaction. Placing it above the arrow helps to distinguish it from other reactants or products.

The chemical formula of strontium oxalate monohydrate is SrC2O4·H2O. The chemical equation for its formation involves the reaction of strontium nitrate with oxalic acid in the presence of water.

Add all the elements together

Subtract the total amount of elements from the products

It usually works.

If you know what the reactants are, then you can calculate the total mass of the reaction system, as you can detecte the volume of the gas, then you can calculate the mass or number of moles of the gas basing on the atmospheric pressure and temperature, the information may lead you to the answer.

For example, if you completely combuse CH4 in a rigid container, you can detecte the products, CO2 and H2O. Then you can predict the entire equation :

CH4+2O2=CO2+2H2O .

Nitrogen does not combust as it is already in a stable diatomic form (N2). However, nitrogen can react with oxygen at high temperatures to form nitrogen oxides such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric oxide (NO). The general equation for the combustion of nitrogen would involve the formation of nitrogen oxides rather than a direct combustion of nitrogen.

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP). This equation represents the process where glucose is oxidized to release energy in the form of ATP, with oxygen being the final electron acceptor.

Yes, a chemical equation is considered balanced when the same number of each type of atom is present on both the reactant and product sides of the equation. This ensures that mass is conserved during the reaction.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O →C6H12O6 + 6 O2

3 O2(g) + 2 S(s) --> 2 SO3(g) (This turns into liquid below 45°C)

The chemical equation for the reaction between methanoic acid (HCOOH) and acidified potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is:

2KMnO4 + 5HCOOH + 3H2SO4 → 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 5CO2 + 8H2O

This reaction is a redox reaction where potassium permanganate is reduced from +7 to +2 oxidation state and methanoic acid is oxidized to carbon dioxide.

iodine reacts with chlorine gas produces iodine trichloride

I + Cl2 -->ICl3

now you have to balance the equation and you get:

2I + 3Cl2--> 2ICl3

Note: iodine trichloride is a molecular compound and that is why they used a prefix on the chloride. Therefore iodine trichloride just means 1 iodine and 3 chlorines resulting in ICl3. Also because chlorine is a diatomic element it needs to have a subscript of 2.

silver carbonate decomposes into silver (1) oxide and carbon dioxide

Ag2CO3-->Ag2O + CO2

Because both sides are equal you do not have to balance the equation.

note: Because silver is a transitional metal you had the choice between silver (3) and silver (1). I decided to choose Silver (1) because that meant that the silver carbonate was completely decomposed and also it is easier to balance the equation.
