Question

12.1 - Everyday Stoichiometry

1. A smoothie contains 1 banana (B), 4 strawberries (St), 1 container of yogurt (Y), and 3 ice cubes (lc).

Write a balanced equation to describe the relationship.

Answer 1

Answer : The balanced chemical equation will be:

`1B+4St+1Y+3Ic\rightarrow BSt_4YIc_3`

Explanation :

Balanced reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the atoms of individual element present on reaction side must be equal to the product side.

As we are given that:

A smoothie contains 1 banana (B), 4 strawberries (St), 1 container of yogurt (Y), and 3 ice cubes (lc).

The balanced chemical equation will be:

`1B+4St+1Y+3Ic\rightarrow BSt_4YIc_3`
