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.

yarga [219]

The opportunity costs of working part-time while attending high school could be studying time, grades, and your own free time. It depends on the person, how they do in school, but if it were for me, I would say the benefits outweigh the costs. I have enough time to study and still get good grades in school.

Answer:

Mark me brainliest

Explanation:

Standards help avoid confusion and ambiguity when taking measurements. For example, a meter will always be the same length, no matter who is taking the measurement or where it is being taken.

Balance the following redox equation and identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reduci
earnstyle [38]

The charge of Br changed from –1 to 0, therefore it is the element which is oxidized. Since it is oxidized then Br is also the reducing agent.

 

The charge of Mn changed from +4 to +2 therefore it is the element which is reduced. Since Mn is reduced, then MnO2 is the oxidizing agent.

 

The half –reactions are:

Br: 2Br --> Br2 + 2e-

Mn: MnO2 --> Mn2+

First balance oxygen by adding H2O:

MnO2 --> Mn2+ + 2H2O

Then balance hydrogen by adding H+ ions:

4H+ + MnO2 --> Mn2 + 2H2O

Then the appropriate electrons:

4e- + 4H+ + MnO2 --> Mn2 + 2H2O

 

Multiply the half-reaction of Br by 2 because the half-reaction of Mn has 4 electrons.

4Br --> 2Br2 + 4e-

 

Combine the two half reactions and cancel common factors:

4Br-  +  4H+  +  MnO2 --> 2Br2  +  Mn2  +  2H2O
