Answer:

4 NH₃ (g) + 3 O₂ (g) ----> 2 N₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g) + energy

Explanation:

The unbalanced equation:

NH₃ (g) + O₂ (g) ----> N₂ (g) + H₂O (g) + energy

<u>Reactants:</u> 1 nitrogen, 3 hydrogen, 2 oxygen

<u>Products:</u> 2 nitrogen, 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen

The sort-of balanced equation

2 NH₃ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) ----> N₂ (g) + 3 H₂O (g) + energy

I first started by balancing the nitrogens. This then lead me to balance the hydrogens. When I went to balance the oxygens, only a 1/2 coefficient would work. However, 1/2 coefficients are technically incorrect. To get rid of this coefficient, you need to multiply each coefficient by 2.

The balanced equation:

4 NH₃ (g) + 3 O₂ (g) ----> 2 N₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g) + energy

<u>Reactants:</u> 4 nitrogen, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen

<u>Products:</u> 4 nitrogen, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen

Now, all of the elements are equal on both sides and there are no 1/2 coefficients. These are the smallest whole-number coefficients because some of the numbers cannot be further simplified (3).

A balloon has a pressure of 3.1 atm at a volume of 155 ml. if the temperature is held constant, what is the volume (ml) if the p

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

45.8 mL

Explanation:

If all variables are held constant, the new volume can be found using the Boyle's Law equation. The equation looks like this:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

In this equation, "P₁" and "V₁" represent the initial pressure and volume. "P₂" and "V₂" represent the final pressure and volume. You can find the new volume by plugging the given values into the equation and simplifying.

P₁ = 3.1 atm P₂ = 10.5 atm

V₁ = 155 mL V₂ = ? mL

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ <----- Boyle's Law equation

(3.1 atm)(155 mL) = (10.5 atm)V₂ <----- Insert values

480.5 = (10.5 atm)V₂ <----- Multiply 3.1 and 155

45.8 = V₂ <----- Divide both sides by 10.5

Based on the kinetic molecular theory (KMT), which statement is true?

nataly862011 [7]

Statement 1 is false because heat is the movement of molecules.

Statement 2 is true because matter is composed of elementary particles which are VERY small.

Statement 3 is false because the kinetic energy of a particle determines its heat and it is impossible for a particle to be completely motionless.

Statement 4 is false because neutrons do not have a charge and make up a large portion of all matter.

What event typically causes upwelling?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Conditions are optimal for upwelling along the coast when winds blow along the shore. Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
