Chemistry Word Equations: Barium Chlorate, Methane, Calcium Iodide, and More!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting specific word equations into chemical symbols and balancing them using stoichiometry. Participants are asked to provide the empirical formulas for reactants and products for five reactions, including those involving barium chlorate, methane, chlorine, chromium, and hydrogen chloride. The importance of understanding chemical symbols and the balancing process is emphasized for better comprehension. Users are encouraged to attempt the problems independently to enhance their learning. Overall, the thread highlights the need for practice in chemistry word equations and stoichiometry.

can anyone tell me how to do the following questions and their answers?

Change these word equations to symbols:
a) Barium chlorate, when heated, produces barium chloride and oxygen.
b) Methane combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
c) Chlorine replaces iodine in calcium iodide.
d) Chromium reacts with oxygen to produce chromium (VI) oxide.
e) Aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride and barium hydroxide react to form barium chloride and water.

thanx!

Write out the empirical formualas for the reactants and products, and then balance them using stoichiometry.

If you need more help show your work.
 
Look up the chemical symbols for compounds

Doing this prob. urself will help u better
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
