Answer:

<span>
</span>

<span>2Na+2<span>H2</span>O→2NaOH+<span>H2</span></span>


Explanation:

You have to count the number of atoms in both sides of the reaction to be equal, to make it a little easier you can make a list. So in the equation <span>Na+<span>H2</span>O→NaOH+<span>H2</span></span>, there are
<span>1−Na−1</span>
<span>2−H−3</span>
<span>1−O−1</span>


So you multiply NaOH and H2O by 2, so you have 4 hydrogens in both sides, and then multiply Na by 2 to be equal to the NaOH you previously multiplied.

Your equation is:
2NaOH + H_{2}SO_{4}  ==\ \textgreater \  Na_{2}SO_{4} + H_{2}O

An equation is balanced only if there are the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the arrow - aka same number of atoms of each element in both reactants (left of the arrow) and products (right of the arrow). 

It'll be easiest to tackle this by counting up the number of atoms of each element on the left and on the right and comparing those numbers. If there is a number in front of the entire compound, that means that number applies to all elements in the compound. If the number is a subscript (little number to the right of the element), that means that number only applies to the element that the subscript is attached to:
1) On the left, you have:
2NaOH + H_{2}SO_{4}\\&#10;\\&#10;Na:  \: 2 \: atoms\\&#10;O: \: 2 + 4 = 6 \: atoms\\&#10;H: \: 2 + 2 = 4 \: atoms\\&#10;S:  \: 1 \: atom

2) On the right, you have:
Na_{2}SO_{4} + H_{2}O\\&#10;\\ &#10;Na: \: 2 \: atoms\\ &#10;O: \: 4 + 1 = 5 \: atoms\\ &#10;H: \: 2 \: atoms\\ &#10;S: \: 1 \: atom

You can see that the number of oxygen and hydrogen atoms aren't equal on both the left (reactants) and the right (products), so the equation is unbalanced.

Your final answer is "T<span>he equation is unbalanced because the number of hydrogen atoms and oxygen is not equal in the reactants and in the products."</span>

A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof, and hits the ground with a velocity of -180 feet per second. How high (in feet) is t
Neko [114]

Answer:

d = 506.25 ft

Explanation:

As we know by kinematics that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

here we know that initially the stone is dropped from rest from the edge of the roof

so here initial speed will be zero

now we have

v_i = 0

also the acceleration of the stone is due to gravity which is given as

g = 32 ft/s^2

now we have

v_f = 180 ft/s

so from above equation

180^2 - 0 = 2(32)d

d = 506.25 ft
