Capitolo 3, Problema 42b

Balance the following equations. (b) Au + H2SeO4 → Au2(SeO4)3 + H2SeO3 + H2O

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the elements involved in the reaction: Au, H, Se, and O.
Write down the unbalanced equation: Au + H_2SeO_4 → Au_2(SeO_4)_3 + H_2SeO_3 + H_2O.
Count the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
Start by balancing the element that appears in the fewest compounds, which is Au. Balance Au by ensuring the number of Au atoms is the same on both sides.
Next, balance the Se atoms by adjusting the coefficients of H_2SeO_4 and H_2SeO_3. Finally, balance the H and O atoms by adjusting the coefficients of H_2O.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing chemical equations involves ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. This is based on the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. To balance an equation, coefficients are adjusted in front of the chemical formulas to achieve equal atom counts.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It allows chemists to predict the amounts of substances consumed and produced in a reaction based on balanced equations. Understanding stoichiometry is essential for calculating yields, determining limiting reactants, and performing conversions between moles and grams.

Polyatomic Ions

Polyatomic ions are charged entities composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together, which function as a single ion in chemical reactions. In the given equation, sulfate (SO₄²⁻) and hydrogen selenite (H₂SeO₃) are examples of polyatomic ions. Recognizing these ions is crucial for correctly writing and balancing chemical equations involving compounds that contain them.
