(a)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation is to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
In a balanced chemical reaction, the number of similar type of elements on both sides of the reaction is equal. To balance an unbalanced equation, the coefficients that are present before the compounds are changed but the subscripts in the formulas are not changed.
Answer to Problem 41QAP
Explanation of Solution
The provided reaction is:
The most complicated molecule is not clear, so we start arbitrarily. If we place a coefficient of 3 before Fe and 4 before H2 and H2 O, we get a balanced equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation is to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
