Write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions. Carbon disulfide + oxygen gas gives carbon dioxide + sulfur dioxide.

Silver + nitric acid gives silver nitrate + nitrogen dioxide + water.

If you can explain how to do each it will be greatly appreciated.

❃ The following points should be kept in mind to write and balance a chemical equation :

Step 1 : Write the molecular formula of all the reactants and products correctly.

Step 2 : Separate reactants and products by a sign of arrow. If reactants or products are more than one, connect them by a sign of a plus.

Step 3 : Balance the atoms of O and H at last [ The atoms used at many places in an equation should be balanced at last ]. For balancing , the number should be added as coefficient i.e in the front of the molecules.

[ Remember those substance that take part in a chemical reaction are called reactants. Likewise , those substances which are formed after a chemical reaction are called products ]

1. Carbon disulfide + Oxygen gas gives carbon dioxide + Sulfur dioxide.

Step 1 : The molecular formula of carbon disulfide is CS₂ , molecular formula of Oxygen gas is 0₂ [ Since oxygen is a diatomic element ] molecular formula of carbon dioxide is CO₂ and molecular formula of sulfur dioxide is SO₂.

Step 2 : CS₂ + O₂ ⟶ CO₂ + SO₂

Step 3 : In the reactant side , there is two ' S ' but on the other side , there is one ' S '. So , add 2 as a coefficient before S on the product side. Now , There are two ' O ' in the reactant side but six ' O ' in the product side. So , add 3 as a coefficient before O on the reactant side. Now , there are equal atom of C , S and O on both sides

i.e CS₂ + 3O₂ ⟶ CO₂ + 2SO₂

Answer :

-----------------------------------------

2. Silver + nitric acid gives silver nitrate + nitrogen dioxide + water

Step 1 : The molecular formula of Silver is Ag, molecular formula of nitric acid is HNO₃ , molecular formula of Silver nitrate is Ag ( No₃ ) , molecular formula of nitrogen dioxide is NO₂ and molecular formula of water is H₂O.

Step 2 : Ag + HNO₃ ⟶ Ag ( NO₃ ) + NO₂ + H₂O

Step 3 : In the reactant side , There is one ' H ' but on the other side , there are two ' H '. Now add 2 before H on the reactant side. There are equal atom of ' Ag ' , ' H ' , ' N ' , and ' O '.

i.e Ag + 2HNO₃ ⟶ Ag ( NO₃ ) + NO₂ + H₂O

Answer :

- The last step is a bit more confusing I guess. So , which balancing , count the atoms in following ways :

- Hope this helps! :)

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
