What's a word equation

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
3 0
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
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>

Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.

Hey! I was wondering how to get the solution to this question!
zzz [600]

Answer:

6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction

HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

The pH of the solution is 2.78.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M

Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Compound Y has the elements C, H, N and O. It's exact mass is 91.0425. Answer the following questions. Isotope Exact Mass 1H 1.0
Talja [164]

Answer:

Six C atoms (C₆); five H atoms (H₅); one N atom (N); no O atoms

Explanation:

The rule of 13 states that the formula of a compound is a multiple n of 13 (the molar mass of CH) plus a remainder r.

MF = CₙHₙ₊ᵣ

Y has a molecular mass of 91 u

91/13 =7r0

The formula can't be C₇H₇ because a hydrocarbon must have an even number of H atoms,

The odd mass and the odd number of H atoms make it reasonable to add an N atom and subtract CH₂ (CH₂ = 14):

C₇H₇ + N - CH₂ = C₆H₅N

Check:

6C = 6 × 12.000 = 72.000 u

5H = 5 ×   1.008 =   5.040

1N =  1 × 14.003 =  <u>14.003    </u>

             TOTAL =   91.043 u

This is excellent agreement with the observed mass of 91.0425 u.

There are six  C atoms (C₆)

There are five H atoms (H₅)

There is    one N atom   (N)

There are no   O atoms.
