Balance the following equation: Ag+O_(2) > Ag_(2)O

4Ag  +  O₂   →    2Ag₂O

Explanation:

Given reaction expression:

               Ag  +  O₂   →    Ag₂O

The problem here is to balance the expression.

We are going to use a mathematical approach to solve this problem. Therefore, assign coefficients a,b and c to the species:

                     aAg  +  bO₂   →    cAg₂O

Conserving Ag;   a  = 2c

                    O;     2b  = c

Now let c = 1;

              a  = 2

              b  =  

Multiply a, b and c through by 2;

            a  = 4, b = 1 and c  = 2

                       4Ag  +  O₂   →    2Ag₂O

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

shield volcanos are angry and get mad over the smallest things so much that there heads erupt   pahoehoe and a'a lava. a composite volcano is the poller opposite of a shield volcano. its   peaceful thing and knows how to control its emotions.
