If the amount of atoms of each type on the left and right sides of a reaction differs, what must be done to balance it?

Answer : The coefficients are placed in front of the reactants or products.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

If the amount of atoms of each type on the left and right sides of a reaction differs then to balance the equation by adding coefficient in the front of the elements or molecule or compound in the chemical equation.

The coefficient tell us about that how many molecules or atoms present in the chemical equation.

For example :

The unbalanced chemical reaction is,

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction because in this reaction number of hydrogen atoms are not balanced.

In order to balance the chemical equation, the coefficient '2' put before the and we get the balanced chemical equation.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.

your answer is c) plasma
