Question
### Balancing Chemical Equations This interactive module helps students learn how to balance chemical equations. The equation shown on the screen is a part of the exercise: \[ \mathbf{2} \; \text{XCl}_2 (\text{aq}) + \mathbf{2} \; \text{AgNO}_3 (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \mathbf{0} \; \text{X(NO}_3\text{)_2 (\text{aq})} + \mathbf{0} \; \text{AgCl (s)} \] The goal is to adjust the coefficients (the numbers in front of each compound) to ensure that the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the equation. The text above each compound shows the number to be adjusted, indicated by blue up and down arrows. #### Diagram Explanation: - **The Reaction Box:** - On the left side of the arrow are the reactants: \( \text{XCl}_2 (\text{aq}) \) and \( \text{AgNO}_3 (\text{aq}) \). - On the right side of the arrow are the products: \( \text{X(NO}_3\text{)_2 (\text{aq})} \) and \( \text{AgCl (s)} \). - **Interactivity:** - Users can increase or decrease the coefficients by clicking on the blue up and down arrows displayed above each compound. - The specified coefficients currently are for \( \text{XCl}_2 \) and \( \text{AgNO}_3 \) being 2 each, and \( \text{X(NO}_3\text{)_2} \) and \( \text{AgCl} \) being 0 each, indicating that the products need to be balanced. - **Progress Indicator:** - Located on the bottom left, it shows that 12% of the module is completed, and also has instructional text prompting users to click 'done' when they think they have balanced the equation correctly. This setup allows users to actively engage in balancing equations, reinforcing their understanding of the conservation of mass and the stoichiometric relationships in chemical reactions.
