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>

CHEMISTRY HELP<br> Once the following equation is balanced, what is the correct coefficient for Z₂?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The coefficient of Z₂ is 1.

Explanation:

From the question given above:

X + ZY —> XY + Z₂

Next, we shall balance the equation to obtain the coefficient of Z₂. This can be obtained as follow:

X + ZY —> XY + Z₂

There is 1 atom of Z on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of ZY as shown below:

X + 2ZY —> XY + Z₂

There are 2 atoms of Y on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of XY as shown below:

X + 2ZY —> 2XY + Z₂

Now, we have 1 atom of X on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of X as shown below:

2X + 2ZY —> 2XY + Z₂

Now the equation is balanced.

Thus, the coefficient of Z₂ is 1.

If the following weights have masses of 2, 4, 6 and 8 kg,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

8 kg mass

Explanation:

As we can see in the image the weight of mass 8 kgs has a large surface area as compared to the surface area of other masses. In general, it has been observed that a wide surface area has more surface particle for heat conduction. Hence, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area of heat conducting surface. Thus, the larger the surface area, the faster is the rate of heat conduction.

Hence, weight of mass 8Kg wil transfer heat a fast rate.

What is the maximum concentration of Ag⁺ that can be added to a 0.00750 M solution of Na₂CO₃ before a precipitate will form? (Ks
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{1.64\times 10^{-5}\text{ mol/L }}

Explanation:

Ag₂CO₃(s) ⇌2Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq); Ksp = 8.10 × 10⁻¹²

                           2x      0.007 50 + x

K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$]$^{2}$[CO$_{3}^{2-}$]} = (2x)^{2}\times 0.00750 = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\0.0300x^{2} = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\x^{2} = 2.70 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \sqrt{2.70 \times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1.64\times 10^{5}} \textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The maximum concentration of Ag$^{+}$ is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.64\times 10^{-5}}\textbf{ mol/L }}$}
