First, write the formula for this equation. Count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation. Al - _____ Cl - _____. 1. =. Al - _____ Cl - _____. 1. ≠. 3. 2. Count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation. 2. 3. 2. ≠. 2. Al - _____ Cl - _____. 1. =.
E N D
Count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation. Al - _____ Cl - _____ 1 = Al - _____ Cl - _____ 1 ≠ 3 2
Count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation. 2 3 2 ≠ 2 Al - _____ Cl - _____ 1 = Al - _____ Cl - _____ 2 1 ≠ 6 6 3 2 =
Count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation. 2 3 2 2 Al - _____ Cl - _____ 1 = Al - _____ Cl - _____ 2 1 6 6 3 2 =
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
Al (aluminum) has an atomic mass of 27. There are 2 aluminum atoms. 2x27=54
Cl (chlorine) has an atomic mass of 35. There are 6 chlorine atoms. 6x35=210
264 The atomic mass for aluminum is 54. The atomic mass for chlorine is 210. 54+210=264
