Question
Chapter 18.2, Problem 18.3P
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Balanced equation for production of synthesis gas from graphite has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
- There is a law for conversion of mass in a
chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants. - The concept of writing a balanced chemical reaction is depends on conversion of reactants into products.
- First write the reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Finally obtained values could be placed as coefficients of reactants as well as products.
(b)
