Question

Complete the following chemical equation: $X+6H_{2}O \longrightarrow Y+6H_{2}$

Answer 1

$X+6H_2O\rightarrow Y+ 6H_2$

On comparing left- and right-hand side, we know one thing

Y includes X and 6 molecules of oxygen; we have read that when diborane reacts with water it gives boric acid and hydrogen.

So, with this information we can complete this equation as ,

$B_2H_6+6H_20\rightarrow 2H_3BO_3 + 6H_2$

where $x=B_2H_6\quad and\quad Y=H_3BO_3$.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction occurs, the mass of the products should be equal to the mass of the reactants. Therefore, the amount of the atoms in each element does not change in the chemical reaction. As a result, the chemical equation that shows the chemical reaction needs to be balanced. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.
