Consider the hypothetical chemical reaction represented by the equation 3 A + 2 B → A 3B 2 Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this equation? i. 3 grams of A react with 2 grams of B to form 1 gram of A 3B 2 ii. 3 atoms of A react with 2 atoms of B to form 1 molecule of A 3B 2 iii. 3 moles of A react with 2 moles of B to form 1 mole of A 3B 2

Respuesta :

Answer:

iii. 3 moles of A react with 2 moles of B to form 1 mole of A 3B 2

Explanation:

A + 2 B → A 3B 2

A chemical equation among other things, gives the stoichiometry of the reaction; that is the relationship between reactants and products.

This relationship is basically stated in moles form the coefficients of the reactants and product.

From the reaction above, we can say;

1 mol of A reacts with 2 mol of B to form 1 mol of A3B2

It cannot be grams because the reactants and products all have different molar masses.

The correct interpretation of the equation of the hypothetical chemical reaction is; Choice (iii) 3 moles of A react with 2 moles of B to form 1 mole of A 3B 2.

Definition:

Chemical equations are equations that make use of chemical formulae and symbols to represent chemical reactions. The left-hand side of a chemical equation represents the reactants and the right-hand side represents the products.

Each reacting entity is also assigned its corresponding stoichiometric coefficient.

However, this stoichiometric coefficient is to quantify the no. of moles of the reactants consumed or products formed as the case may be.
