Chapter 3, Problem 36P(choose chapter or problem)
The molecular scenes below represent a chemical reaction between elements A (red) and B (green):
Which of the following best represents the balanced equation for the reaction?
\(2 \mathrm{~A}+2 \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow \mathrm{A}_{2}+\mathrm{B}_{2}\)
\(\mathrm{A}_{2}+\mathrm{B}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{AB}\)
\(\mathrm{B}_{2}+2 \mathrm{AB} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{~B}_{2} \mathrm{~A}_{2}\)
\(4 \mathrm{~A}_{2}+4 \mathrm{~B}_{2} \rightarrow 8 \mathrm{AB}\)
Equation Transcription:
2A + 2B A2 + B2
A2 + B2 2AB
B2 + 2AB 2B2 A2
4A2 + 4B2 8AB
Text Transcription:
2A + 2B rightarrow A_2 + B_2
A2 + B_2 rightarrow 2AB
B_2 + 2AB rightarrow 2B_2 A_2
4A_2 + 4B_2 rightarrow 8AB

ANSWER:
Solution 36P
Here, we have to identify the best represents the balanced equation for the reaction to the given picture.
Step 1 of 2
The scenes below represent a chemical reaction between elements A (red) and B (green)
From the picture, In the reactant side A(red) and B(green) are diatomic molecules.Product side A and B are mixing together.
Therefore, the balanced chemical reaction with smallest whole-number coefficient is as follows.
A2 + B2 2AB …………………………….(1)
