(a)
Interpretation:
The given equation
Concept Introduction:
Balancing the equation:
- 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. - First write the skeletal reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Place suitable coefficients in front of reactants as well as products until the number of atoms on each side (reactants and products) becomes equal.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given equation:
Balancing the chemical Equation:
Count the number of atoms on each side of the reaction.
Atom | Reactant side | Product side |
10 | 2 | |
2 | 3 | |
4 | 1 |
Place suitable coefficient before reactants and products and then check for the number of atoms again.
Atom | Reactant side | Product side |
20 | 20 | |
26 | 26 | |
8 | 8 |
The number of atoms of present on each side of the reaction is same. Hence, the balanced equation for the given reaction is
