To balance the chemical equation \( ___ \text{MgO} + ___ \text{CaS} \rightarrow ___ \text{MgS} + ___ \text{CaO} \), we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side matches those on the product side.

  1. List the compounds:

    • Reactants: MgO, CaS
    • Products: MgS, CaO
  2. Count the atoms of each element:

    • Reactants:

      • Mg: 1 (from MgO)
      • O: 1 (from MgO)
      • Ca: 1 (from CaS)
      • S: 1 (from CaS)
    • Products:

      • Mg: 1 (from MgS)
      • S: 1 (from MgS)
      • Ca: 1 (from CaO)
      • O: 1 (from CaO)
  3. Since each side has one of each atom, we can conclude that the equation is already balanced.

  4. The balanced equation is: \[ 1 \text{MgO} + 1 \text{CaS} \rightarrow 1 \text{MgS} + 1 \text{CaO} \]

Therefore, the blanks to fill in are:

  • Blank 1: 1
  • Blank 2: 1
  • Blank 3: 1
  • Blank 4: 1

Balance the following the chemical equation:

___ N2 +____ O2 → ____ NO

Blank 1:
Blank 2:
Blank 3:

To balance the chemical equation

\[ ___ \text{N}_2 + ___ \text{O}_2 \rightarrow ___ \text{NO} \]

we follow these steps:

  1. List the reactants and products:

    • Reactants: \( \text{N}_2 \), \( \text{O}_2 \)
    • Product: \( \text{NO} \)
  2. Count the initial atoms for each element:

    • In \( \text{N}_2 \):
      • N: 2
      • O: 0
    • In \( \text{O}_2 \):
      • N: 0
      • O: 2
    • In \( \text{NO} \):
      • N: 1
      • O: 1
  3. Balance the nitrogen (N) atoms first:

    • We need 2 N atoms on the right (since there are 2 in \( \text{N}_2 \)), so we place a coefficient of 2 in front of \( \text{NO} \): \[ \text{N}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{NO} \]
  4. The nitrogen atoms are now balanced (2 N on each side). Now, balance the oxygen (O) atoms:

    • We now have 2 O atoms on the right (from \( 2 \text{NO} \)).
    • Since each \( \text{O}_2 \) molecule provides 2 O atoms, we can balance that with a coefficient of 1: \[ \text{N}_2 + 1 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{NO} \]
  5. Now we have:

    • Reactants: \( 1 \text{N}_2 \) and \( 1 \text{O}_2 \) (which gives 2 O atoms)
    • Products: \( 2 \text{NO} \) (which gives 2 N atoms and 2 O atoms)

The balanced equation is:

\[ 1 \text{N}_2 + 1 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{NO} \]

Finally, the answers for the blanks are:

  • Blank 2: 1
  • Blank 3: 2
Balance the following the chemical equation:

____ Ti3N + _____ MgO → ______ Mg3N2 + _____ Ti2O

Blank 1:
Blank 2:
Blank 3:
Blank 4:

To balance the chemical equation

\[ ___ \text{Ti}_3\text{N} + ___ \text{MgO} \rightarrow ___ \text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2 + ___ \text{Ti}_2\text{O} \]

we need to follow these steps:

  1. List the compounds:

    • Reactants: Ti₃N, MgO
    • Products: Mg₃N₂, Ti₂O
  2. Count the atoms of each element in the unbalanced equation:

    • In Ti₃N:
      • Ti: 3
      • N: 1
    • In MgO:
      • Mg: 1
      • O: 1
    • In Mg₃N₂:
      • Mg: 3
      • N: 2
    • In Ti₂O:
      • Ti: 2
      • O: 1
  3. Balance the nitrogen (N) atoms first:

    • We have 1 N atom from Ti₃N and 2 N atoms from Mg₃N₂. To balance the N, we need 2 Ti₃N: \[ 2 \text{Ti}_3\text{N} + ___ \text{MgO} \rightarrow 1 \text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2 + ___ \text{Ti}_2\text{O} \]
    • This gives us 2 N from the 2 Ti₃N on the left side.
  4. Now balance the titanium (Ti) atoms:

    • From 2 Ti₃N, we have 6 Ti atoms (2 × 3 = 6).
    • To balance the Ti on the product side, we need 3 Ti₂O (since each has 2 Ti): \[ 2 \text{Ti}_3\text{N} + ___ \text{MgO} \rightarrow 1 \text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2 + 3 \text{Ti}_2\text{O} \]
  5. Now balance the magnesium (Mg) atoms:

    • We have 3 Mg atoms needed on the right side from Mg₃N₂, so we need 3 MgO on the left: \[ 2 \text{Ti}_3\text{N} + 3 \text{MgO} \rightarrow 1 \text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2 + 3 \text{Ti}_2\text{O} \]
  6. Now let's check the complete balance:

    • Left side:

      • Ti: 2 × 3 = 6
      • N: 2 × 1 = 2
      • Mg: 3 × 1 = 3
      • O: 3 × 1 = 3
    • Right side:

      • Ti: 3 × 2 = 6
      • N: 1 × 2 = 2
      • Mg: 3 × 1 = 3
      • O: 3 × 1 = 3

Both sides are balanced!

The balanced equation is:

\[ 2 \text{Ti}_3\text{N} + 3 \text{MgO} \rightarrow 1 \text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2 + 3 \text{Ti}_2\text{O} \]

So, the answers for the blanks are:

  • Blank 1: 2
  • Blank 2: 3
  • Blank 3: 1
  • Blank 4: 3
Which situation would react faster and why?



a
Example A would be faster because of a low surface area.
b
Example B would be faster because of a low surface area.
c
Example B would be faster because of a high surface area.
d
Example A would be faster because of a high surface area.

To determine which example would react faster based on surface area, we need to understand that a higher surface area typically leads to a faster reaction rate. This is because a larger surface area allows more reactant particles to collide with each other, increasing the frequency of collisions that lead to chemical reactions.

Given the options provided:

  • a. Example A would be faster because of a low surface area.
    This statement is incorrect; lower surface area usually results in slower reaction rates.

  • b. Example B would be faster because of a low surface area.
    This statement is also incorrect for the same reason as above.

  • c. Example B would be faster because of a high surface area.
    This statement is correct if Example B indeed has a higher surface area, making it reactive faster.

  • d. Example A would be faster because of a high surface area.
    This statement would be correct only if Example A has the high surface area, but it contradicts option a.

Without knowing the specific details of Examples A and B, if Example B has a higher surface area than Example A, the correct response would be c. Example B would be faster because of a high surface area.

Please let me know if you have further details about Examples A and B, and I can provide a more precise answer!
