--- ### Writing a Balanced Chemical Equation **Objective:** Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction shown in the diagram. **Visual Description:** The provided image includes two circle diagrams representing the reactants (left side) and products (right side) of a chemical reaction. **Legend for Elements:** - **C** (Carbon): Black - **O** (Oxygen): Red - **N** (Nitrogen): Blue - **Cl** (Chlorine): Green - **H** (Hydrogen): White **Reactants:** - Two green molecules each linked with a blue and multiple white atoms. - One green molecule linked with multiple white and black atoms. **Products:** - Multiple white molecules, each linked. - Multiple green molecules, each linked with black and white atoms. - Some blue molecules not connected to others. #### Graphical Description: 1. **Reactants (Left Circle):** - Consists of green molecules associated with blue and white atoms. - Contains another green molecule linked to white and black atoms. 2. **Products (Right Circle):** - Contains multiple small white molecules (indicating hydrogen gas, H₂). - Green molecules bonded with black and white atoms. - Separate blue molecules. ### Task: Based on the visual representation of the reactants and products, deduce and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction displayed. **Balanced Chemical Equation:** \[ \_\_\_\_ + \_\_\_\_ \rightarrow \_\_\_\_ + \_\_\_\_ \] In the blank spaces, you should write the appropriate chemical formulas based on the elements and numbers of atoms represented in the diagram to ensure the equation is balanced. ---
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
I couldn't ask this question without taking a picture of it. But, I need help figuring the balanced chemical equation because I'm not sure how to account for the atoms accordingly. Thank you.
