  2. This is number 6? What is the equation for this question?! I don't get it.

  3. For Jamie:

    In #6, it says iron reacts with chlorine gas to from iron(III)chloride. So iron would be Fe and it says it reacts with chlorine so it would be Fe + Cl2(chlorine is diatomic). It also says they produce iron(III)chloride, so you put an arrow and then write FeCl3 because Fe has 3 valence electrons and chlorine has only one. You criss cross them and it comes out to be FeCl3. Then all you have to do is balance it.
    Hope this helps =)

  5. Elaine, you have given an excellent description. If Jamie is able to understand the question from just your description, then you will receive credit. Let's see what she says. Good Job.

  6. Thank You =)

    LJ,

    The question is mole to mole so you take .25 moles of KClO3 and you put it into the dimensional analysis. Then you find the mole ratio that will cross out mole of KClO3 from the .25 with O2 on top(3 moles of O2/2 moles of KClO3) and you just solve by multiplying whatever is on top and dividing by whatever is on the bottom of the dimensional analysis. I hope that helped too.

  13. Bianca, can you go into your profile and change it so that we can see your name when you post a comment? Right now it is just saying "rfkchem" but change it so that we see "Bianca" as the name that gets displayed. If you need specific instructions perhaps someone who reads this message will provide assistance for that. Thank you.

  14. i dont get how to balance this equation Mg+AgNO3---Ag+Mg(NO3)2

  15. Bianca,

    Number four is a stoichiometric calculation going from mass to mass. First you must balance the equation. Next, write down the mass of the first chemical which in this case is 8 grams of H2O using dimensional analysis. Then, find the molar mass of H2O and make sure you put the number of grams on the bottom so that it cancels out.(1 mol H2O/18 g H2O) Next, find the molar ratio of Hydrogen to H2O. Then the last step is to find the molar mass of Hydrogen. (2g H2/1 mol H2). Multiply the numbers on top and then divide the numbers on the bottom to get the number of grams of Hydrogen gas. I hope that helps and isn't confusing.

  16. LJ Stonebridge,
    You can balance the equation by making Mg as a. and compound AgNO3 as b and Ag as c and Mg(NO3)2 as d. Remember then you list all the elements like:
    Mg:
    Ag:
    NO3:
    and then if you see the element in a, b, c, or d you write it out but dont forget the subscripts and coefficents
    Mg:1a+0b=0c+1d
    Ag:0a+1b=1c+0d
    NO3:0a+1b=0c+2d
    Then cross out the 0's and you get
    1a=1d
    1b=1c
    1b=2d
    then you give a value to a variable like a is 2
    2=1d
    d=2
    1b=2d
    b=4
    c=4
    All your doing is substituting
    and then you plug it in the beggining remember
    2 Mg + 4 AgNO3---> 4 Ag + 2 Mg(NO3)2
    but in this case you can reduce it and you'll get:
    Mg+2AgNO3--->2Ag+Mg(NO3)2

  19. I am having trouble with number 4 from the worksheet.
    I already balanced the equation it comes out to be :
    2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

    How can I convert it?

  20. Marina you 8.0g H20 = 2g H2 over 64g H2O =.25g H2

    ReplyDelete
  21. 2H2+O2--->2H2O
    2H2 is unknown and 2H2O is known
    Marina,
    So 4grams of Hydrogen give 36 grams water
    ? Give 8 grams water
    Every 4 grams of hydrogen gives u water but how many grams gives you 8 grams of water!! Its lke a proportion
    4/36 = x/8 so u do the bow tie method
    8*4=32/36 and you get .8888888=)
    I hope this helps:)

  22. how do you know that 4 grams of H2 gives 36g of H2O?

    ReplyDelete
  23. your answer is correct Christina, but I would like you to explain it using dimensional analysis:

    (8g H2O)(1mol H2O/18g H2O)(1mol H2 / 2mol H2O)(2g H2 / 1mol H2) = .888g of H2
