Concept explainers
The equation for the oxidation of phosphorus in air is P4(s) + 5 O2(g) P4O10(s). Identify the reactants and products and the
Interpretation:
The reactant, product and stoichiometric coefficient should be identified. Designation for the g and s should be given.
Concept Introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, therefore, the number of atoms present in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms present in the products.
Answer to Problem 1PS
The reactant, product and stoichiometric coefficient are given below (a) Designation for the g and s is given below.
Reactant
Phosphorus and oxygen
Product
Tetra phosphorus decaoxide
Stoichiometric coefficient are 1,5,1.
Designation for the g is gas state and s is solid state (b).
Explanation of Solution
The given equation is shown below using correct molecular formula,
In a given reaction left side of the reaction is called reactant and the right side of the reaction is called product. Therefore,
Reactant
Phosphorus and oxygen
Product
For balancing the reaction, stoichiometric coefficient of the reaction is needed therefore the stoichiometric coefficient of the reaction are 1,5,1 and is shown below,
Designation for the g is gas state is given below,
g and s state of the constituent. Therefore g indicates gas state and s indicates solid state.
The reactant, product and stoichiometric coefficient should be identified. Designation for the g and s were given.
