A compound can be treated like an element when balancing chemical equations when : A. when there is no change to the atoms in the compound

If they remain together during the reaction, you can treat a compound as a singe atom.

hope this helps

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two or more elements combine chemically to each other then it results in the formation of a substance known as a compound.

On the other hand, a substance that contains same atoms is known as an element.

For example, F_{2} is a diatomic molecule and since it contains more than one atom so it is a compound also.

Therefore, we can conclude that when there is no change to the atoms in the compound then a compound can be treated like an element when balancing chemical equations.

How many miles of lead are equal to 9.51 x 10^3 g Pb?
Lemur [1.5K]
Molar mass Pb = 207.2 g/mol

1 mole Pb ------------- 207.2
? mole Pb ------------ 9.51 x 10³

moles = 9.51 x 10³ * 1 / 207.2

moles = 9.51 x 10³ / 207.2

= 45.89 moles

A 365 L balloon is blown up inside at 283 K. It is then taken outside in the hot sun and Heated to 300K. What is the new volume?
asambeis [7]

V₁ = initial Volume of the balloon after it is blown up = 365 L

V₂ = new Volume of the balloon after it is taken outside = ?

T₁ = initial temperature of the balloon = 283 K

T₂ = new temperature of the balloon = 300 K

using the equation

V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

365/V₂ = 283/300

V₂ = 387 L

Nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia in the Haber process. Calculate (in kJ) the standard enthalpy change ∆H° for the r
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

∆H° rxn = - 93 kJ

Explanation:

Recall that a change in standard in enthalpy, ∆H°, can be calculated from the inventory of the energies, H, of the bonds  broken minus bonds formed (H according to Hess Law.

We need to find in an appropiate reference table the bond energies for all the species in the reactions and then compute the result.

              N₂ (g)   +            3H₂ (g)   ⇒                          2NH₃ (g)

1 N≡N = 1(945 kJ/mol)     3 H-H = 3 (432 kJ/mol)       6 N-H = 6 ( 389 kJ/mol)

∆H° rxn = ∑  H bonds broken  - ∑ H bonds formed

∆H° rxn = [ 1(945 kJ)   + 3 (432 kJ) ] - [ 6 (389 k J]

∆H° rxn = 2,241 kJ -2334 kJ = -93 kJ

be careful when reading values from the reference table since you will find listed N-N bond energy (single bond), but we have instead a triple bond,  N≡N,  we have to use this one .

How many milliliters of water at 25.0°C with a density of 0.997 g/mL must be mixed with 163 mL of coffee at 97.9°C so that the r
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

248 mL

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat absorbed by water (Qw) and the heat released by the coffee (Qc) is zero.

Qw + Qc = 0

Qw = -Qc [1]

We can calculate each heat using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

  • c: specific heat
  • m: mass
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

163 mL of coffee with a density of 0.997 g/mL have a mass of:

163 mL × 0.997 g/mL = 163 g

From [1]

Qw = -Qc

cw × mw × ΔTw = -cc × mc × ΔTc

mw × ΔTw = -mc × ΔTc

mw × (54.0°C-25.0°C) = -163 g × (54.0°C-97.9°C)

mw × 29.0°C = 163 g × 43.9°C

mw = 247 g

The volume corresponding to 247 g of water is:

247 g × (1 mL/0.997 g) = 248 mL
