5. In general, how are word equations written to describe chemical reactions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago
8 0

Answer is: Reactants and products are written in words; reactants are on the left, products are on the right side of reaction.

For example, balanced chemical reaction for cellular respiration (convert biochemical energy):  

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O or:

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.

Glucose and oxygen are reactants and carbon dioxide and water are products of reaction.

This reaction is exothermic (energy is released).

Word equation is a chemical reaction expressed in words rather than chemical formulas.

What is the molarity of a solution which contains 0.80 mol of HCl in 250mL of<br> solution?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

3.2M HCl Solution

Explanation:

Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution expressed in liters

moles of solute = 0.80 moles HCl

volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.250 Liter

Molarity (M) = 0.80 moles HCl / 0.250 Liters = 3.2M HCl Solution

Which of these phrases accurately describe disproportionation? Check all that apply. A single compound reacts with itself. A sin
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

A single compound reacts with itself.

Explanation:

Disproportionation is a chemical reaction,most times a redox reaction, in which a molecule is transformed into two or more dissimilar products. In a disproportionation reaction, the species are simultaneously oxidized and reduced to form at least two different products.

A typical example of a specie that disproportionate is the copper I ion as shown below;

2Cu^+(aq) ------> Cu(s) + Cu^2+(aq)

The two oxidation states of copper formed in the disproportionation are Cu(0) and copper (II).
