Physical change: a change in which no new substances are formed. the form of the substance is changed but not it's chemical composition (ice melting, bread toasting)

chemical change: any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. this type of change modifies molecules and atoms by making and breaking the bonds between atoms! (iron rusting, gas burning)

so basically a physical change just changes the appearance of a substance, but a chemical change changes the makeup on a molecular level. i hope this helps you out!

Use the half-reaction method to balance the equation for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid in acid solution:CH₃CH₂OH + Cr
garik1379 [7]

Balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The chemical equation

CH₃CH₂OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ → CH₃COOH + Cr³⁺

First assign the oxidation number for each atom in the equation.

\overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{-1}{C} \overset{+1}{H_2} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+6}{Cr_2} \overset{-2}{O_7} + \overset{+1}{H} \rightarrow \overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{+3}{C}\overset{-2}{O} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+3}{Cr}

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻  → 2Cr⁺³

Now, balance the charge

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³

Now balance the oxygen atoms

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O

Now, make electron gain equivalent to lost

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺ }  × 3

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O } × 2

Now,

Oxidation: 3C₂H₆O + 3H₂O → 3C₂H₄O₂ + 12e⁻ + 12H⁺

Reduction: 2Cr₂O₇ + 12e⁻ + 28H⁺ → 4Cr⁺³ + 14H₂O

Now, add the both equations

3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that the balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

A compound of mercury and oxygen is heated in order to decompose the compound. A 4.08 grams sample of mercury oxide upon heating
arlik [135]

Answer:

HgO (empirical formula)

Explanation:

4.08 - 3.78 = 0.3g (oxygen)

(\frac{4.08}{201})   \:  \:  \:  (\frac{0.3}{16} )

0.02 : 0.02

0.02/0.02 : 0.02/0.02

1 : 1 (ratio)

HgO ( empirical formula)

2HgO ----> 2Hg + O2 ( your equation correct)

2. What pressure is required to compress 196.0 L of air at 1.00 atmosphere into a cylinder
damaskus [11]

Answer:

<h2>7.54 atm </h2>

Explanation:

The required pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}  \\

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question we have

P_2 =  \frac{1 \times 196}{26}  =  \frac{196}{26}   \\ = 7.538461...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.54 atm </h3>

Hope this helps you
