The coefficient of H3PO4 is 1
Explanation:
The equation is H3PO4(aq) + NaOH (aq) → Na3PO4(aq) + H2O (l)
To balance the reaction, we first balance the Na atoms: On the right there are 3 Na atoms, so on the left we multiply NaOH by 3
The number of P atoms on the left is 1, the number of the P atoms on the right is also 1. So, this is already balanced.
On the left there are 6 H atoms, on the right we have 2H atoms, so e have to multiply H2O by 3.
On the left we have 7 O atoms, on the right, now we have also 7O atoms.
So this is already balanced.
The fully balanced reaction is H3PO4 (aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Na3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(l)
The coefficient of H3PO4 is 1
Explanation:
Given:
In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element are equal on both sides.
No. of atoms of Ca in left hand side = 1
No. of atoms of Ca in right hand side = 1
So, no. of atoms of Ca is balanced
Now,
No. of atoms of O in left hand side = 1
No. of atoms of O in right hand side = 2
Now multiply H2O with 2
No. of atoms of O are balanced on each side
No. of atoms of H in left hand side = 4
No. of atoms of H in right hand side = 4
Now, each element is balanced
So coefficient of H2O after balancing = 2
The correct answer is Option E.
Explanation:
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium and water follows:
The coefficient of Aluminium is 2.
Hence, the correct answer is Option E.
2
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced equation for the given reaction is:
Thus the coefficient for is 2.
