What's a word equation

1 answer:

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>

A chemical equation is shown: C2H4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O According to the law of conservation of mass, how many atoms of oxygen exist

astraxan [27]

Answer:

6 oxygens on the product side

Explanation:

1) balance the equation:

C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O

2) calculate the number of oxygens on the product side

2CO2=4

2H2O=2

I am a nonmetal.I am in the Oxygen family and in row 3.I have 6 valence electrons.I am yellow and have a stinky smell.Who am i

Dimas [21]

Answer:

sulfur

Explanation:

In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.

It is present in oxygen family.

It has six valance electrons.

Its atomic number is 16.

Its atomic weight is 32 amu.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,

S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )

Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.

It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.

it is used to making gun powder.

2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO

meriva

Answer:

we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles ZnO produced = 6.0 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol Oxygen to produce 2 moles Zinc oxide

Step 3: Calculate moles zinc

For 2 moles Zn we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles ZnO

For 6.0 moles 2nO produced, we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn) and 3.0 moles of O2 to react.

In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

Explanation:

The lattice energy of ionic species depends on the relative sizes of ions in the ionic compounds. As the size of ions increases, the lattice energy decreases and vice versa.

When the size of the anions are the same, the lattice energy now depends on the relative sizes of the cations. Therefore, since all the compounds are sulphides and the order of magnitude of ionic sizes is: Li^+ < Na^+ < K^+ < Cs^+.

Therefore, the order of decrease in lattice energy is; Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

Students asked to measure the temperature of a reaction beaker recorded the following temperatures. 103.7°C, 108.4°C, 105.8°C, 1

Nata [24]

There are two terms

a) accuracy : it relates to the exactness of an answer that how an answer is close to the actual answer or actual reading

So 104.6 is accurate

b) Precision : This is related to the closeness of different readings with each other

The first reading is 103.7 and the second one is 108.4 so the second reading is quite different from the first reading so it cannot be called as precised

Again 105.8 has good difference from the second reading hence again this is not precised

However the last reading 104.6 is quite near to 105.8 so 104.6 can be called as precise
