Can You Take The Challenge On This Chemistry Quiz - Quiz

In chemistry, equations help us to know about what is happening in a chemical reaction. The starting materials are known as the reactants (sometimes called reagents), and the new materials are called the products. Scientists use balanced symbol equations to describe chemical reactions. Can you rightly balance these equations? Take this quiz to find out.

    Choose the correctly balanced chemical equation from the list.

    • A.

      CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + H2O

    • B.

      CH4 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

    • C.

      CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

    • D.

      CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 3 H2O

    Correct Answer
    C. CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O
    Explanation
    The balanced chemical equation shows that one molecule of methane (CH4) reacts with two molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O). This is the correct equation because it follows the law of conservation of mass, where the number of atoms on both sides of the equation is the same.

    Choose the correctly balanced chemical equation from the list.

    • A.

      Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2

    • B.

      2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2

    • C.

      Al + HCl → AlCl3 + H2

    • D.

      2Al + HCl → AlCl3 + 3H2

    Correct Answer
    B. 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2
    Explanation
    The balanced chemical equation must have the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. In this case, the equation 2Al + 6HCl -> 2AlCl3 + 3H2 satisfies this requirement. It shows that 2 atoms of Aluminum (Al) react with 6 molecules of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce 2 molecules of Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and 3 molecules of Hydrogen gas (H2). This equation is balanced because it has an equal number of Al, H, and Cl atoms on both sides.

    Choose the correctly balanced chemical equation from the list.

    • A.

      C2H6 + 31/2O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

    • B.

      C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 5H2O

    • C.

      C2H6 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

    • D.

      C2H6 + 31/2O2 → CO2 + 3H2O

    Correct Answer
    A. C2H6 + 31/2O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
    Explanation
    The correct answer is C2H6 + 31/2O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O. This equation is balanced because the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. There are 2 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 7 oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation. The coefficients in front of each molecule indicate the number of molecules involved in the reaction, and they are chosen to ensure that the equation is balanced.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2H2 SO4 + Pb(OH)4 → Pb(SO4)2 + 4H2O
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between 2 moles of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and 1 mole of lead(IV) hydroxide (Pb(OH)4). It produces 1 mole of lead(II) sulfate (Pb(SO4)2) and 4 moles of water (H2O). The coefficients in the equation represent the stoichiometric ratios between the reactants and products, ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O. This equation is balanced because there are an equal number of atoms on both sides of the equation. The equation follows the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. In this equation, there are 2 magnesium atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, 2 chlorine atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation. Therefore, this equation is correctly balanced.
