Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the reaction has to be written. Each polyatomic ion as a unit has to be balanced, instead of balancing the individual atoms.
The given equation is,
Concept Introduction:
An equation is balanced with coefficients, one element at a time, starting with the most complex formula and starting with an element that appears in only one formula on both sides of the equation.
The coefficients are placed until the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the reaction has to be written. Each polyatomic ion as a unit has to be balanced, instead of balancing the individual atoms.
The given equation is,
Concept Introduction:

- Consider the following diagram, where atom X is represented by a square and atom Y is represented by a circle. (a) Write the equation for the reaction represented by the diagram. (b) If each circle stands for a mole of Y and each square a mole of X, how many moles of X did one start with? How many moles of Y? (c) Using the same representation described in part (b), how many moles of product are formed? How many moles of X and Y are left unreacted?arrow_forwardWhat amount (moles) of compound is present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 52?arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried.
