The state (phase) of the compounds can be expressed in the chemical equation. This is done by placing the correct label on the right hand side of the formula. There are only four labels that can be used:
(g) for gaseous compounds
(l) for liquids
(s) for solid compounds
(aq) for an aqueous (water) solution
To show that heat is needed for a reaction, a Greek delta (
) is placed above the arrow.
You may remember from
Physical and chemical change that energy cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction but it may change form. In an exothermic reaction,
H is less than zero and in an endothermic reaction,
H is greater than zero. This value is often written at the end of a chemical equation.
Solid zinc metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form an aqueous solution of zinc chloride (
)and hydrogen gas. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.
The reactants are zinc (
) and hydrochloric acid (
). The products are zinc chloride (
) and hydrogen (
).
You will notice that the zinc atoms balance but the chlorine and hydrogen atoms don't. Since there are two chlorine atoms on the right and only one on the left, we will give
a coefficient of 2 so that there will be two chlorine atoms on each side of the equation.
When you look at the equation again, you will see that all the atoms are now balanced.
In the initial description, you were told that zinc was a metal, hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride were in aqueous solutions and hydrogen was a gas.
Balance the following equation:
In this example, the first two steps are not necessary because the reactants and products have already been given.
With a complex equation, it is always best to start with atoms that appear only once on each side i.e.
,
and
atoms. Since the
atoms already balance, we will start with
and
atoms. There are two
atoms on the right and one on the left. We will add a second
atom by giving
a coefficient of two. There are two
atoms on the left and one on the right. To balance the
atoms,
will be given a coefficient of two. The equation now looks as follows:
,
and
atoms balance, but
and
atoms do not. There are six
atoms and ten
atoms on the left, and five
atoms and eight
atoms on the right. We need to add one
atom and two
atoms on the right to balance the equation. This is done by adding another
molecule on the right hand side. We now need to check the equation again:
The equation is now balanced.
The following video explains some of the concepts of balancing chemical equations.

Questions & Answers
Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

What is the direction and net electric force on q_{1}= 5µC located at (0,4)r due to charges q_{2}=7mu located at (0,0)m and q_{3}=3\mu C located at (4,0)m?
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

A boat travels due east at a speed of 40meter per seconds across a river flowing due south at 30meter per seconds. what is the resultant speed of the boat
which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
Scratch that
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle
pratica A on solution of hydro chloric acid,B is a solution containing 0.5000 mole ofsodium chlorid per dm³,put A in the burret and titrate 20.00 or 25.00cm³ portion of B using melting orange as the indicator. record the deside of your burret tabulate the burret reading and calculate the average volume of acid used?
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you.
Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.

Are you really asking if two bodies have to be charged to be influenced by Coulombs Law?
Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
