The correct Answer is:
To balance the chemical equation given in the question, we need to follow a systematic approach. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation The unbalanced equation is: \[ aK_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7} + bKCl + cH_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow xCrO_{2}Cl_{2} + yKHSO_{4} + zH_{2}O \] ### Step 2: Identify the number of atoms for each element We need to identify how many atoms of each element are present on both sides of the equation. - **Reactants:** - Potassium (K): \(2a + b\) - Chromium (Cr): \(2a\) - Oxygen (O): \(7a\) - Chlorine (Cl): \(b\) - Hydrogen (H): \(2c\) - Sulfur (S): \(c\) - **Products:** - Potassium (K): \(y\) - Chromium (Cr): \(x\) - Oxygen (O): \(2x + 4y + z\) - Chlorine (Cl): \(2x\) - Hydrogen (H): \(y + 2z\) - Sulfur (S): \(y\) ### Step 3: Set up equations based on the conservation of mass From the above counts, we can set up the following equations: 1. **Potassium:** \[ 2a + b = y \] 2. **Chromium:** \[ 2a = x \] 3. **Oxygen:** \[ 7a + 4c = 2x + 4y + z \] 4. **Chlorine:** \[ b = 2x \] 5. **Hydrogen:** \[ 2c = y + 2z \] 6. **Sulfur:** \[ c = y \] ### Step 4: Substitute and solve the equations From equation (2), we can express \(x\) in terms of \(a\): \[ x = 2a \] From equation (4), substituting \(x\): \[ b = 2(2a) = 4a \] From equation (6), substituting \(y\): \[ c = y \] Now substituting \(b\) into equation (1): \[ 2a + 4a = y \] \[ 6a = y \] Now substituting \(y\) into equation (5): \[ 2c = 6a + 2z \] Since \(c = y = 6a\): \[ 2(6a) = 6a + 2z \] \[ 12a = 6a + 2z \] \[ 6a = 2z \] \[ z = 3a \] ### Step 5: Substitute back to find coefficients Now we can summarize the coefficients: - \(a = 1\) - \(b = 4\) - \(c = 6\) - \(x = 2\) - \(y = 6\) - \(z = 3\) ### Final Balanced Equation The balanced equation is: \[ K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7} + 4KCl + 6H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow 2CrO_{2}Cl_{2} + 6KHSO_{4} + 3H_{2}O \] ### Summary of Coefficients - \(a = 1\) - \(b = 4\) - \(c = 6\) - \(x = 2\) - \(y = 6\) - \(z = 3\)
