Question
fill in the boxes for the coefficient and subscripts to make the formula match the number of atoms. the first one has been done for you as an example.
example: kr = 2 cl = 12 2 krcl₆
- k = 6 zn = 3 o = 6 3 k₂zno₂
- ba = 5 c = 20 h = 20 o = 30 □ bac□h□o□
- cu = 4 h = 8 s = 8 o = 24 □ cu(hso□)□
- n = 6 h = 24 cr = 6 o = 21 □ (nh□)□ cr□o□
Step1: Analyze the formula \(BaC_{x}H_{y}O_{z}\) for question 4
We know that the coefficient \(a\) and sub - scripts \(x,y,z\) should satisfy the atom - count equations. For \(Ba\): \(a\times1 = 5\) (since there is 1 \(Ba\) atom in \(BaC_{x}H_{y}O_{z}\)), so \(a = 5\). For \(C\): \(a\times x=20\), substituting \(a = 5\), we get \(5x = 20\), then \(x=\frac{20}{5}=4\). For \(H\): \(a\times y = 20\), substituting \(a = 5\), we get \(5y=20\), then \(y = 4\). For \(O\): \(a\times z=30\), substituting \(a = 5\), we get \(5z = 30\), then \(z = 6\).
Step2: Analyze the formula \(Cu(HSO_{x})_{y}\) for question 5
For \(Cu\): \(a\times1=4\) (since there is 1 \(Cu\) atom in \(Cu(HSO_{x})_{y}\)), so \(a = 4\). For \(H\): \(a\times y\times1=8\) (1 \(H\) atom in \(HSO_{x}\)), substituting \(a = 4\), we get \(4y=8\), then \(y = 2\). For \(S\): \(a\times y\times1=8\) (1 \(S\) atom in \(HSO_{x}\)), substituting \(a = 4\) and \(y = 2\) (already found from \(H\) - count), it is consistent. For \(O\): \(a\times y\times x=24\), substituting \(a = 4\) and \(y = 2\), we get \(4\times2\times x=24\), then \(8x=24\), \(x = 3\).
Step3: Analyze the formula \((NH_{x})_{y}Cr_{z}O_{w}\) for question 6
For \(N\): \(a\times y\times1=6\) (1 \(N\) atom in \(NH_{x}\)). For \(H\): \(a\times y\times x=24\). For \(Cr\): \(a\times z\times1=6\) (1 \(Cr\) atom). For \(O\): \(a\times w\times1=21\). Let's assume \(a = 6\) (from \(Cr\) - count: if \(z = 1\), then \(a=6\)). For \(N\): if \(a = 6\) and \(y = 1\) (since \(a\times y\times1=6\)), it works. For \(H\): \(6\times1\times x=24\), then \(x = 4\). For \(O\): if \(a = 6\) and \(w=\frac{21}{6}=\frac{7}{2}\) (not valid). Let's try another approach.
Let \(a = 3\). For \(Cr\): \(a\times z=6\), then \(z = 2\). For \(N\): \(a\times y=6\), if \(y = 2\). For \(H\): \(a\times y\times x=24\), substituting \(a = 3\) and \(y = 2\), we get \(3\times2\times x=24\), then \(x = 4\). For \(O\): \(a\times w=21\), substituting \(a = 3\), we get \(w = 7\).
