Question

PLEASE HELP ANSWER THIS. (a) Which two conditions must be fulfilled by balanced ionic equations? select all that apply


Number of atoms of each kind must be the same on both sides of the arrow.

Electrical charge must be balanced.

The number of reactants must equal the number of products.

The sum of coefficients for reactants and products must be equal​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The first two answers are the correct ones. Sometimes C can be true, but it is not a condition. Some equations produce many more products than reactants and some equations are made from more reactants than products.

The last one is normally not true, but the three equations I choose below do give D to be true. Still it does not happen all the time.

C8H18 + 12.5 O2  ===> 8CO2  + 9H20    This is the combustion equation that drives your engine. The coefficients do not add.

Same number of reactants as products.

CH4 + 2O2 ==> CO2 + 2H2O

More products than reactants.

Cu + 4HNO3 ==> Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O

More Reactants than products.

H2 + I2 ==> 2HI
