Answer:

The correct option is: A. epicenter

Explanation:

An Earthquake is a natural disaster that involves vibration and displacement of the Earth's surface.

The point at which an earthquake originates, below the Earth's surface, is known as the focus.

Whereas, the point on the surface of the Earth, that is located exactly on the top of the focus of an Earthquake, experiences the maximum damage and is known as the epicenter.

Therefore, the correct option is A. epicenter.

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction? A. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 B. 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O C. ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 D. 2NaBr + CaF

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Option A. 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

Decomposition reactions

Synthesis or combination reaction

Single replacement reactions

Double replacement reactions

Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

ZnS + 3 O₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO₂ is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ is a double replacement reaction because two ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).

What volume (in mL) of a 0.200 MHNO3 solution is required to completely react with 27.6 mL of a 0.100 MNa2CO3 solution according

ladessa [460]

Answer:

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation is:

Na2CO3(aq)+2HNO3(aq)→2NaNO3(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)

This means for 1 mole Na2CO3 consumed, there is consumed 2 mole of HNO3 and there is produced 2 moles of NaNO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O

Step 2: Calculating moles of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 =volume of Na2CO3 * Molarity of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 = 27.6 *10^-3 * 0.1 M = 0.00276 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of HNO3

In the balanced equation, we can see that for 1 mole of Na2CO3 consumed, there are consumed 2 moles of HNO3.

So for 0.00276 moles consumed of Na2CO3, there are consumed 0.00552 moles of HNO3.

This means 0.00276 moles of the base Na2CO3 would react with 0.00552 moles of the acid HNO3

Step 4: Calculating the volume of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = moles of HNO3 / Molarity of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = 0.00552 moles / 0.200 M = 0.0276 L

0.0276 L = 27.6 ml

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

Explain why the place of aluminum in the reactivity wagon seems to be unsuitable.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Acids react with most metals.

When an acid reacts with a metal, the products are a salt and hydrogen.

This is the general word equation for the reaction: metal + acid → salt + hydrogen
