stoichiometric factor
That's the only thing I want you to change in the exercices below!
The number written subscript behind the symbol of the element corresponds to the number of atoms of this element in the molecule. The stoichiometric factor corresponds to the number of occurences of this molecule. To get the number of atoms, you have to multiply those numbers together.
e.g.: 3O2
3×2=6, so there are 6 atoms of oxygen here.
Those two numbers always are positive integers.
Now it's your turn !)
For each equation, find the correct stoichiometric factors.
- _C + _O2 → _CO
- _CO + _O2 → _CO2
- _Fe + _O2 → _Fe3O4
- _C4H10 + _O2 → _CO2 + _H2O
- _CH4 + _H2O → _CO + _H2
- _Zn + _O2 → _ZnO
- _Al + _O2 → _Al2O3
- _Cu + _O2 → _CuO
- _Cu + _O2 → _Cu2O
- _Cu2O + _O2 → _CuO
Good luck !
