Balance This
Can you balance this chemical equation for me...i cannot do it and show me a way of doing it cuz my method is rather archaic.
P2H4-->PH3+ P2H4 |
RE: Balance This
4P2H4 --> 2PH3 + 3P2H4
dunno just worked it out :) |
RE: Balance This
believe me...its not as simple as you think
you have more Hydrogens on the right side |
RE: Balance This
The only way I'm balancing a redox reaction is if it's going on my GPA.
Edit: Here's a tip: there's water involved. |
RE: Balance This
Bump.
|
P2H4-->0PH3+ P2H4
/shrug, it works |
hmmm....does make sense though...but no
|
Its an impossible reaction XD
Unless of course, you just want to slash the PH3 like brain XD |
oh it is...possible
|
I have to agree with Reach here. I was wondering why I was unnable to balance it. I mean, it's been a while since Chem class, but I still remember how to do it.
You might as well say that 3+2=3. |
...I checked to make sure i had the subscripts right and my AP teacher says it's no trick question ( the one problem i could'nt balance for bonus points)
|
The reaction type is like, non existant though. I havn't done reactions in a long time, but aside from special reactions, like hydro carbon combustions and stuff, wtf is this? It produces itself and another product? Its not a simple decomposition...complex...its not a single replacement...wtf is it then? I still stand by the fact it is an impossible reaction XD It can't be balanced. No set of numbers will balance it. The only way you would be able to get it would be to use really really small decimal numbers >.>
why are you still in school? its the summer...XD You must live extremely far south or something and have the seasons reversed XD |
I've balanced some pretty radical equasions, but I must admit - this is by far the most unusual one I've ever seen. The only way that I see it as possible is if it's pulling H2O out of the atmosphere and ionizing it, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever thought of. No matter how I look at it, there's some gaseous reactant that's unaccounted for. Nice of your instructor to lay this one on you, they never miss an opportunity to show off. At least it was just extra credit.
BTW: Did you manage to cop the answer? I'm sure we'd all love to see it. |
wow... thats a tough one haha. The only way would be during the decomposition it "borrowed" a hygrogen from some other source or energy was converted to matter. Besides that, im sticking with reach on this one.
|
i'll find out the answer sooner or later
