i would like to know if there any Method/way to Balance chemical equations?
for example if i got this equation: P2S5+PCl5--->PSCl3

i know how to Balance but is take me a lot time to find the correct factor for Each Molecule.

hope you Understand what i mean.:smile:


thanks.

Several methods, but as long as you don't get efficient all will look difficult and time consuming. But usually after several hundreds of balanced equations you do it on the fly, almost without any effort.

See balancing chemical equations for methods and http://www.chemistry-quizzes.info/quizz.php?m=r&fi=equation-balancing-easy/0000.php for training.
 
great.

thank you.
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
