The process is not a redox reaction.

The reaction between ammonia $(NH_{3} )$ and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce ammonium chloride ( $NH_{4} Cl$ ) has modified the oxidation number of no atom in the reactants. As a base, ammonia interacts easily with hydrochloric acid to produce ammonium chloride salt. A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is what the described process is, and it is NOT a redox reaction.

A reaction is referred to as a redox reaction if two or more reactants belonging to a single reaction exchange one or more electrons, i.e., one reactant releases one or more additional electrons while the other obtains one or additional electrons. The reacted substance that releases electrons is oxidized and becomes a reducing substance. A reduced oxidizing agent is the reactant that accepts electrons.

Which of the following equations does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?

enot [183]

The third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Option 3.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the sum of the masses of reactants should be equal to the sum of the masses of the products.

For example, if we consider the first option to verify if it obeys law of conservation of mass or not, 2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

So one way to verify it is to find the mass of Na, then multiply it with 2, and then add this with 2 times of mass of chlorine. So this sum should be equal to the 2 times mass of NaCl. But it is somewhat lengthy.

Another way to easily determine this is to check if the elements are present equally in both sides. Such as, in reactant side and product side 2 atoms of Na is present . Similarly, the Cl atoms are also present in equal number in both reactant and product side. Thus this obeyed the law of conservation of mass.

Like this, if we see the second option, there also 1 atom of Na is present in reactant and product side and 2 molecules of H is present in reactant and product side, 1 oxygen is present in reactant and product side and 1 Cl is present in reactant and product side. So it also obeys the law of conservation of mass.

But in the third option, P₄ + 5 O₂→ 2 P₄O₁₀, here, there is 4 atoms of P in reactant side but in product side there is (4*2) = 8 atoms of P. Similarly, the number of atoms of oxygen in reactants and product side is also not same. So the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

The fourth option also obeys the law of conservation of mass as the number of atoms of each element is same in both the product and reactant side.

Thus, the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Which term is described as a long, narrow depression in the ocean floor?

ahrayia [7]

The term which is described as a long, narrow depression in the ocean floor would be ocean trench. They <span>are hemispheric-scale long but narrow topographic depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor. Hope this answers the question.</span>

What is the affect of neutrons on atoms

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

It's better to explain it.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not affect the electron configuration, but the sum of atomic number and the number of neutrons, or neutron number, is the mass of the nucleus. You know that neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Under normal conditions, protons and neutrons stick together in the nucleus. During radioactive decay, they may be knocked out of there. Neutron numbers are able to change the mass of atoms, because they weigh about as much as a proton and electron together. if your asking What is the role of a neutron in an atom? then, Neutrons are very important in providing stability for an atom. Some atoms don't "need" neutrons - The hydrogen atom does not have any neutrons. However, as the atomic number ( # of protons ) increases, the number of neutrons increases as well.

Protons don't like each other. Naturally, 'positive charges repel', so it wouldn't be possible to have more than one proton in the nucleus. Here's where the neutron comes in.

Hope this helps. :)

Sum of brother and sisters age is 26. Four times the brothers age is subtracted from three times the sisters age, the difference

lana66690 [7]

Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Solution :

Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'

There are two equations formed which are,

x + y = 26 ..........(1)

3y - 4x = 8 ..........(2)

First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

$4x+4y+3y-4x=8+26\\\\7y=112\\\\y=16$

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'

3(16) - 4x = 8

4x = 40

x = 10

The age of brother = x = 10 years

The age of sister = y = 16 years

Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
