44 g of CO2
contain 6.023x1023 mol of CO2
4.4 g Contains - ?
4.4g x 6.023 x 1023 / 44g
= 6.023 x 1022 mol
What we have learnt
A Chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical change.
A balanced chemical equation explains about reactants, products and their physical states during
the reaction.
A chemical equation should always be balanced according to the Law of conservation of mass.
The chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed are called endothermic reactions and in which heat
is evolved are exothermic reactions.
A chemical equation containing simply symbols of elements and molecular formulae of the substances
without balancing is known as primary or skeleton equation.
The symbols of elements and formulae of the compounds should not be changed but only their co-efficient should be altered while balancing the chemical equation.
Co-efficient should be least possible whole numbers.
