Answer to Problem 51E

A chemical reaction is represented in shorthand by expressing it in chemical equation.  The reactants are entered in left side of the arrow and products are entered in right side of the arrow.  A chemical reaction has to be correctly represented means; the chemical equation has to be balanced.  This is known as balanced chemical equation.  This means the total number of atoms of each kind must be same in the product and reactant side.  This is because atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Explanation of Solution

The given equation is,

Ca + [?]H2O Ca(OH)2 + H2

To find the missing number in the above equation, we have to find the atoms that are present in the reactant side.  We find that hydrogen and oxygen is present with the unknown coefficient that has to be found out.  When looking into the same hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the right side of the equation, there are two oxygen atoms and four hydrogen atoms.  Therefore, adding coefficient “2” in the reactant side would make the equation balanced.  The balanced equation can be written as,

Ca + 2H2O Ca(OH)2 + H2

Conclusion:

The missing number in the given equation was found out.

A chemical reaction is represented in shorthand by expressing it in chemical equation.  The reactants are entered in left side of the arrow and products are entered in right side of the arrow.  A chemical reaction has to be correctly represented means; the chemical equation has to be balanced.  This is known as balanced chemical equation.  This means the total number of atoms of each kind must be same in the product and reactant side.  This is because atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Explanation of Solution

The given equation is,

2Al + [?]H2SO4 Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2

To find the missing number in the above equation, we have to find the atoms that are present in the reactant side.  We find that hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen is present with the unknown coefficient that has to be found out.  When looking into the same hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen atoms in the right side of the equation, there are three sulfur atoms, twelve oxygen atoms and six hydrogen atoms.  Therefore, adding coefficient “3” in the reactant side would make the equation balanced.  The balanced equation can be written as,

2Al + 3H2SO4 Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2

Conclusion:

The missing number in the given equation was found out.

Explanation of Solution

The given equation is,

C7H16 + 11O2 7CO2 + [?]H2O

To find the missing number in the above equation, we have to find the atoms that are present in the reactant side.  We find that hydrogen and oxygen is present with the unknown coefficient that has to be found out.  When looking into the same hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the left side of the equation, there are sixteen hydrogen atoms and twenty two oxygen atoms.  In the product side already fourteen oxygen atoms are present.  Therefore, adding coefficient “8” in the product side would make the equation balanced.  The balanced equation can be written as,

C7H16 + 11O2 7CO2 + 8H2O

Conclusion:

The missing number in the given equation was found out.

The given equation is,

6H3BO3 H4B6O11 + [?]H2O

To find the missing number in the above equation, we have to find the atoms that are present in the reactant side.  We find that hydrogen and oxygen is present with the unknown coefficient that has to be found out.  When looking into the same hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the left side of the equation, there are eighteen hydrogen atoms and eighteen oxygen atoms.  In the product side already eleven oxygen atoms and four hydrogen atoms are present.  Therefore, adding coefficient “7” in the product side would make the equation balanced.  The balanced equation can be written as,

6H3BO3 H4B6O11 + 7H2O

Conclusion:

The missing number in the given equation was found out

A rectangle measuring 30.0 cm by 40.0 cm is located inside a region of a spatially uniform magnetic field of 1.70 T , with the field perpendicular to the plane of the coil (the figure (Figure 1)). The coil is pulled out at a steady rate of 2.00 cm/s traveling perpendicular to the field lines. The region of the field ends abruptly as shown. Find the emf induced in this coil when it is all inside the field, when it is partly in the field, and when it is fully outside. Please show all steps.
A rectangular circuit is moved at a constant velocity of 3.00 m/s into, through, and then out of a uniform 1.25 T magnetic field, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The magnetic field region is considerably wider than 50.0 cm . Find the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the current induced in the circuit as it is going into the magnetic field (the first case), totally within the magnetic field but still moving (the second case), and moving out of the field (the third case).  Find the magnitude of the current induced in the circuit as it is going into the magnetic field . Find the magnitude of the current induced in the circuit as it is totally within the magnetic field but still moving.

Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 161 cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 15.0 cm/s due to a tangential pull on the wire. The loop is in a constant uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 T , which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Assume that you are facing the loop and that the magnetic field points into the loop. Find the magnitude of the emf E induced in the loop after exactly time 9.00 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease. Find the direction of the induced current in the loop as viewed looking along the direction of the magnetic field. Please explain all steps
