10 fo Exam - 10 Excess zinc metal is added to 200 cm3 of 0.500 mol/dm3 ethanoic acid to form zinc ethanoate, (CH3COO)2 Zn and hydrogen gas. The equation for the reaction is: Zn(s) + 2CH3COOH(aq) → (CH3COO)2 Zn(aq) ​

the correct answer is option d

explanation:

i was wrong its d because they dont use cm when calculating square roots

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
