    1.) Write the correct coefficient for K (OH) in the box when the equation is balanced.

    _Al₂ (SO₄) ₃ (aq) + __K (OH) (aq) → _Al (OH) ₃ (aq) + _K₂ (SO₄) (aq)

    We need to balance this equation to find the coefficient of KOH in the problem.

    Balancing of chemical equation entails conservation of mass;

    To solve this problem, we can set up simple mathematical equations that are solvable;

    aAl₂ (SO₄) ₃ (aq) + bK (OH) (aq) → cAl (OH) ₃ (aq) + dK₂ (SO₄) (aq)

    a, b, c and d are the coefficients that will balance the equation;

    Conserving:

    Al: 2a = c

    S: 3a = d

    O: 12a + b = 3c + 4d

    K: b = 2d

    let us assume that a = 1;

    d = 3

    b = 6

    c = 2

    Al₂ (SO₄) ₃ (aq) + 6K (OH) (aq) → 2Al (OH) ₃ (aq) + 3K₂ (SO₄) (aq)

    The coefficient of KOH is 6

    Answer : Ca (OH) ₂ + 2HNO₃ → Ca (NO₃) ₂ + 2H₂O

    2.) When Ca (OH) 2 reacts with HNO3 we get H (OH) and Ca (NO3) and Ca (No3) 2 as products:

    To write this chemical equation, let us identify the species;

    Reactants: Ca (OH) ₂ and HNO₃

    Products : Ca (NO₃) ₂ and H₂O

    Every chemical equation is of the form;

    Reactants → Products

    Ca (OH) ₂ + 2HNO₃ → Ca (NO₃) ₂ + 2H₂O

    The above reaction is a neutralization reaction where acids and base reacts to give salt and water only.

    3.

    Reaction equation given:

    2Na (s) + 2H₂O (l) → 2NaOH (aq) + H₂ (g)

    A) mass is conserved throughout the reaction

    C) there are as many atoms in the reactants as there are in the products

    The given reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass. According to this law "in chemical reactions, matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical action".

    This implies that the total mass of the products of a reacting substances and products are the same.

    Reactants Products

    Na 2 2

    H 4 4

    O 2 2

    4. 6atoms, 6 atoms

    The given chemical reaction is:

    2H₂O (l) → O₂ (g) + 2H₂ (g)

    An atom is the smallest indivisible particles of a substance that takes place in chemical reactions.

    To find the number of atoms in the reactants and products, let us use the chart below;

    Chemical elements Reactants Products

    H 2 (2) = 4 2 (2) = 4

    O 2 (1) = 2 2

    6 atoms 6 atoms

    Number of atoms in reactants 6 atoms

    Number of atoms in the product 6 atoms
