What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?​

Chemistry

Rom4ik [11]1 year ago
8 0

Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.

Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:

Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this

Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil

You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.

Identify the neutral element represented by this excited-state electron configuration, then write the ground-state electron conf
sineoko [7]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

 Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

  • Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

        1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

                p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

  Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

 The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³

Cubes are three-dimensional square shapes that have equal sides. What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 12.6 g and a m
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.1828g/cm³

Explanation:

density= mass÷volume

m= 12.6g

v= 4.1×4.1×4.1 = 68.921cm³

•

density= 12.6÷68.921 = 0.1828g/cm³
