Practice Problem 1
Calcium is Ca-20 Phosphorous is P-15
Calcium and phosphorous combine in a 3:2
ratio.
Answer Problem 1
Give a balanced equation if 48 calcium atoms are
added to 36 phosphorous atoms.
48Ca + 36 P Ca3P2
Dividing 48/3 gives 16 Dividing 36/2 gives 18. So,
you can make 16 compounds. Your equation is
now
48Ca + 36 P 16Ca3P2 + 4P
What do you need to add to ensure no leftovers?
Answer Problem 1
48Ca + 36 P 16Ca3P2 + 4P
What do you need to add to ensure no
leftovers?
Since you have 4P leftover, and you need 3Ca for
every 2P atoms, you need an additional SIX Ca
atoms. This would let you make
2Ca3P2
Practice Problem 2
Aluminum is Al-13
Bromine is Br-35
Practice Problem 3
Calcium is found to combine with the
polyatomic group, nitrate (NO3) in a
1:2 ratio.
If 46 nitrate atoms are used to make
compounds, give a balanced
equation of what forms.
Practice Problem 4
9O
Practice Problem 5
A. Given the products, predict the reactants.
?
8Al2O3 + 8 Al
