TechnoratiStrange equation
Submitted by Anonymous on 27 March 2004 - 5:29pm.
Hello to everyone!
I have been given science homework to work out the formulae of some equations. All the questions make sense and are fairly easy except for this one:
Manganese II chloride + sodium hydroxide = manganese II sulphide + ammonium chloride
I have to write the correct formulae for it then balance it but, I think it does not make sense , where did the sulphur come from?? and the nitrogen in the ammonium chloride!? Does the question make sense to you? or am I right?
Please help, it has really confused me!
Thankyou
not possible
Most likely you copied it down wrong or the teacher made a mistake. As far as i know, unless your breaking down atoms, is there a way for you to end up with sulfur when you started off without it. Check the equation with a friend or the teacher because something is wrong. As for the nitrogen in the Ammonium Chloride i don't know where in the world that came from...
:?:
The teacher must have made a mistake, I have copied it out exactly as it is on the question sheet. :?
What do you mean by breaking down atoms? doesnt it have to be radioactive or something?
Thanks
sorry for the confusion
exactly, just trying to make a point that something is wrong with you equation. Sorry for the confusion. Check with your teacher because something is wrong.
It was probably Manganese (II) Sulfide
It was a mistake, Out of intrest, what do you think the equation should have been?
Thanks
I guess, I wasn't right?
