To find the mass of the reactants: • Find each element on the Periodic Chart • Find the Atomic Mass for each element • Add the atomic mass for each atom to get the total mass for the reactants
78 K (potassium) has an atomic mass of 39. There are 2 K (potassium) atoms. 2x39= 78
78 2 H (hydrogen) has an atomic mass of 1. There are 2 H (hydrogen) atoms. 2x1=2
78 2 +28 N (nitrogen) has an atomic mass of 14. There are 2 N (nitrogen) atoms. 2x14=28
78 2 +28 +96 2+28+96=126 O (oxygen) has an atomic mass of 16. There are 6 O (oxygen) atoms. 6x16=96
78 126 78+126=204
78 K (potassium) has an atomic mass of 39. There are 2 K (potassium) atoms. 2x39= 78 2x39= 78
78 +28 N (nitrogen) has an atomic mass of 14. There are 2 N (nitrogen) atoms. 2x14= 28
78 +28 +96 78+28+96=202 O (oxygen) has an atomic mass of 16. There are 6 O (oxygen) atoms. 6x16=96
202 2 202+2=204 H (hydrogen) has an atomic mass of 1. There are 2 H (hydrogen) atoms. 2x1=2
