thats when the equation involves only gases. then you can use mole volume ratio or whatever is called :P

Only gases huh? Lol, ryte, so in that case we can guess how much of something is formed (the volume) using the mole ratios? Thx.. :)
;D

Guys, this has been bugging me. In some papers, the mole concept Q, sometimes the easy way to solve the problems is to use something like the volume ratio is same as the mole ratio or something. Umm, what is this and when can we use this? Thanks a lot in advance. :)
take this reaction for example:
    2N2     +      3H2   -----> 2NH3
          56g                            6g                         34g
Now you can use this for example if they tell you we gave you 5.6g of nitrogen.. how many grams will be produced of hydrogen
Then you can do this
      56              6
      5.6             x
then find X by .. (5.6*6)/56
The same can be done
If you change it
The mole ratio is simply the co-officent of the reactants and products
        2                                        3                             2
just follow the same if they give you a specific amount of moles of reactant/product!

Yo, I needed to ask, why does water act as a base when Sulphuric Acid dissolves in it?
I have this nasty habit of trusting people.

Hmm .. look at this
                 K
                 Na
                 Li
                 Ca
                 Mg
                 Al
                 C
                 Zn
                 Fe
                 Pb
                 H
                 Cu
                 Ag
Okay thats the reactivity series .. as you go down reactivity decreases .. ANY METAL ABOVE Ca .. reacts with COLD water to form hydroxide and H2
Anything under it forms oxide and H2 :D
Hope i helped

Umm, i remember seeing MgOH.. O.O  :S
;D

you did thanks loads :D what abt calcium does it form a hydroxide or oxide?
Hyrdoxide .. always remember lime water :P ..

Why is everyone misunderstanding it. Fine, let me rephrase the whole thing in a language that everyone can understand.
I know like hell that cracking goes like this [Alkanes --> Alkene + Hydrogen]. This part understood?

Now in the Mark scheme they say that the answer to my question should be Alkane --> Alkene + Alkane + Hydrogen.

Get it? Now I want to know why they stated Alkane as a product in cracking. I'm not asking for a miracle.

So here's the link, and I hope a sensible person can answer me.

Could someone please explain may june 09 paper 32 q 5 b
I know it's for instance K3PO4 or T3 PO4.. but the other 2 marks not quite so any help??
Know how to ask. There is nothing more difficult for some people, nor for others, easier.

First chill off dude .. >_>
And Yes sometimes Alkane can be cracked to give SMALLER CHAIN ALKANE ... this is just HOW IT IS .. >_<

@Larimeeva  I strongly suggest lowering your tone; we are all here to help you, but we are NOT OBLIGED to help you.

Respect others and treat them fairly; most importantly be NICE.

And sometimes Alkane-->Alkene + Hydrogen or Alkene + alkane .. or Alkane+ hydrogen or alkane + alkene +hydrogen!

Hehe Wikipedia doesnt think so.. :P :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_hydroxide
Ugh sigh :P , OFCOURSE Magnesium HYDROXIDE EXISTS OBVIOUSLY.. BUt where talking about the products when magnesium reacts with water .. its MgO :P sorry to disappoint you and your wiki :D

Hyrdoxide .. always remember lime water :P ..
omg no it can form both! cuz there are diff types of lime :P slaked lime, quicklime, limestone
