Find the value of x,y and z in the following equations -:
1. PCl5 + xH2O = H3PO4 + yHCl
2. Be2C + xH2O = yBe(OH)2 + CH4
Dear student
To find the value of x , y we need to simply balance the equations by hit and trial method. The stoichiometric coefficients give the required values:
the first equation is :
PCl5 + 4H2O H3PO4 + 5HCl
Thus x = 4, y=5
ii)Be2C +4H2O 2Be(OH)2 +CH4
Thus x=4, y=2
