Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The equation that best describes the reaction shown in the given diagram.

Answer to Problem 1E

Solution: The equation (a) A2+BA2B best describes the depicted reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Given

The reaction diagram,

Chemistry: The Central Science (13th Edition), Chapter 1, Problem 1E

Figure 1 The blue spheres represent the reactant A .

The red spheres represent the reactant B .

As depicted in the given diagram, A or blue spheres are present as diatomic molecules A2 and B or red spheres are present in elemental form.

4 molecules of A, A2 reacts with 4 atoms of B to form 4 molecules of compound A2B .

The reaction will be:

  4A2+4B4A2B

Taking coefficients common,

  A2+BA2B

Conclusion

The equation that best describes the depicted chemical reaction is (a) A2+BA2B .
