If the equation is not balanced, you have extra of one substance. If you try to do an experiment, you could wind up with a totally different outcome. Its kind of like baking a cake. If the ingredients aren't the right amounts, you dont get an edible cake.

Milk sours. Chemical change

A popsicle melts. _____Physical change

Turning brownie mix into brownies. Chemical change

Explanation:

Matter undergoes two types of changes: physical changes and chemical changes.

A physical change is one that affects only the physical properties of a substance such as colour, size, shape, etc., and in which no new substances are formed. Physical changes are easily reversible.

Chemical changes are changes which affect the chemical characteristics and properties of a substance such as reactivity, acidity, basicity, etc., resulting in the formation of new substances.

The following changes below are categorized as either physical or chemical changes based on which of the properties of the substance is affected and whether new substances result or not.

What is the theoretical yield of vanadium, in moles, that can be produced by the reaction of 1.0 mole of V2O5 with 4.0 mole of c
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Theoretical moles of V are 1.6 moles

Explanation:

The theoretical yield of a reaction is defined as the amount of product you would make if all of the limiting reactant was converted into product.

In the reaction:

V2O5(s) + 5Ca(i) → 2V(i) + 5CaO(s)

Based on the reaction, 1 mol of V2O5 needs 5 moles of Ca for a complete reaction. As there are just 4 moles, <em>limiting reactant is Ca.</em> As there are produced 2 moles of V per 5mol of Ca, Theoretical moles of V are:

4 moles of Ca × (2mol V / 5Ca) = <em>1.6 moles of V</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
