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

Reactants: 1 nitrogen, 3 hydrogen, 2 oxygen

Products: 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

Reactants: 4 nitrogen, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen

Products: 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).

Explain how heat is exchanged through potential and kinetic energy

padilas [110]

Answer:

Kinetic And Potential Energy Working Together All forms of kinetic energy are the result of a previous state of potential energy. For example, the stored chemical potential energy of a battery converts to electrical kinetic energy to transport electricity to a light bulb, which radiates thermal kinetic energy.

Analysis/Conclusions:

Paha777 [63]

The correct answers are as follows:
1. MgSO4 + 2NH4OH = [NH4]2SO4 + Mg[OH]2.
This chemical equation implies that, one molecule of magnesium sulphate react with two molecules of ammonium hydroxide to give rise to one molecule of ammonium sulphate and one molecule of magnesium hydroxide.
2. The reaction between magnesium sulphate and ammonia is a DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTION.
A double replacement reaction is a type of reaction in which the two chemical substances which take part in the reaction switch their ions in such a way that two new products are formed. In the reaction of magnesium sulphate and ammonia, the magnesium sulphate gives its SO4 ion to ammonia and take the OH ion of the ammonia instead.
3. The epsom salt and the ammonia reacted. This is made obvious by the chemical reaction which was generated by their combination. On the edge of the penny used, one can see that there is a colour change, this shows that a chemical reaction occur.

What is the second most abundant element in stars? A. helium B. iron C. hydrogen D. oxygen

devlian [24]

The abundance of a chemical element is a measure of the occurrence of the element relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by the mass-fraction (the same as weight fraction); by the mole-fraction (fraction of atoms by numerical count, or sometimes fraction of molecules in gases); or by the volume-fraction. Volume-fraction is a common abundance measure in mixed gases such as planetary atmospheres, and is similar in value to molecular mole-fraction for gas mixtures at relatively low densities and pressures, and ideal gas mixtures. Most abundance values in this article are given as mass-fractions.
