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>

Argon, which comprises almost 1% of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO 2, but does not contribute t
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The gas argon does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Explanation:

The dry atmosphere is composed almost entirely of nitrogen (in a volumetric mixing ratio of 78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), plus a series of oligogases such as argon (0.93%), helium and gases of greenhouse effect such as carbon dioxide (0.035%) and ozone. In addition, the atmosphere contains water vapor in very variable amounts (about 1%) and aerosols.

Greenhouse gases or greenhouse gases are the gaseous components of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at certain wavelengths of the infrared radiation spectrum emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere and clouds . In the Earth's atmosphere, the main greenhouse gases (GHG) are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3 ). There is also in the atmosphere a series of greenhouse gases (GHG) created entirely by humans, such as halocarbons (compounds containing chlorine, bromine or fluorine and carbon, these compounds can act as potent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and they are also one of the causes of the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere) regulated by the Montreal Protocol. In addition to CO2, N2O and CH4, the Kyoto Protocol sets standards regarding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).

The difference between argon and greenhouse gases such as CO2 is that the individual atoms in the argon do not have free bonds and therefore do not vibrate. As a consequence, it does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Teniendo en cuenta los siguientes fenómenos: ebullición del agua- movimiento de un cuerpo- disolución de sal en agua- combustión
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Las siguientes son reacciones químicas;

combustión de leña

oxidación del hierro

descomposición del agua en hidrógeno y oxígeno

Explanation:

Una reacción química da como resultado la formación de una (s) sustancia (s) nueva (s), mientras que un cambio físico no conduce a la formación de una sustancia nueva.

Las siguientes son reacciones químicas;

combustión de leña: la combustión de madera implica la oxidación del carbono según la reacción; C (s) + O2 (g) -------> CO2 (g)

oxidación del hierro: La oxidación del hierro conduce a la formación de óxidos de hierro. Como; 2Fe (s) + O2 (g) ----> 2FeO (s)

descomposición del agua en hidrógeno y oxígeno: esta es una reacción química en la que el agua se descompone de la siguiente manera; 2H2O (l) -----> 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)

Todos estos procesos enumerados anteriormente conducen a la formación de nuevas sustancias, por lo tanto, son reacciones químicas.
