A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:
Sodium metal has a molar mass of
22.99
Answer:
approximately 15.1 grams.
Explanation:
The key to chemistry is to change everything to moles. Then when you have the answer in moles change the answer back to grams, liters, or whatever you want.
change 25 grams of potassium chlorate to moles.
calculate the gram molecular mass of potassium chlorate.
Chlorate is Cl with 3 oxygens. ate = saturated. Chlorine has seven valance electrons when it is saturated six of these electrons are used by oxygen ( 2 electrons per oxygen) leaving only 1 electron.
1 K x 39 grams/mole
+1 Cl x 35.4 grams/ mole
+3 O x 16 grams/ mole
= 122.4 grams / mole Potassium Chlorate
25
122.4
= moles.
2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate.
There is a 1:1 mole ratio. 1 mole of Potassium Chlorate will produce 1 mole of Potassium Chloride.
2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate will produce 2.05 moles of Potassium Chloride.
Find the gram molecular mass of Potassium Chloride.
1 K x 39 = 39
+1 Cl x 35.4 = 35.4
= 74.4 grams / mole.
2.05 moles x 74.4 grams/ mole = 15.2 grams
Hope it helps :)
16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.
Answer:
Conductors
Explanation:
Metals that are conductors let electric currents flow freely. Insulators have a resistance of a charge to flow through them.
