<h3>Answer;</h3>

A: by counting up each individual atom and make sure the atom numbers are the same in the reactants and the products

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants should always be the same as the mass of the products in a chemical equation. Therefore, the number of atoms of each element in a chemical equation should always be the same on both sides of the equation, that is the side of reactants and side of products.

Thus, any chemical equation requires balancing to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal in both sides of the equation. Balancing is a try and error process that ensures that the law of conservation of mass holds.

In this case, the balanced equation would be; 2Na +2H₂O → 2NaOH +H₂

Answer : The correct option is, (A) by counting up each individual atom and make sure the atom numbers are the same in the reactants and the products

Explanation :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass remains conserved that means the total number of atoms present on the reactant side should always be equal to the number of atoms present on the product side.

The given unbalanced reaction is,

$Na+H_2O\rightarrow NaOH+H_2$

The number of atoms of hydrogen are 2 on reactant side and 3 atoms of hydrogen on product side. Thus equation is not balanced.

The balanced reaction will be,

$2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$

Hence, the correct option is, (A)

How do I find time?

kari74 [83]

Answer: 3

H = 45 m ,

time required for the stone

S = u.t+(1/2) g.t²

45 = (1/2) 9.81. t² since u( initial velocity) = 0 ; S =H.

t² = 9.17 s

t = 3.02 s

therefore answer is 3 m/s

A ball is dropped from a cliff and has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 how long will it take the ball to reach a speed of 24.5 m/s

Fiesta28 [93]

Acceleration of ball (a) = 9.8 m/s^2 Speed (v) = 24.5 m/s Time (t) = Acceleration / Time = v / a = 24.5/9.8 = 2.5 s So it will take 2.5 seconds to reach that speed.

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The time taken for the package to reach the ground is 20.6s

Explanation:

Given that the formula of distance is D = S×T where S represents soeed and T is time. So you have to substitute the following values into the formula :

$distance = speed \times time$
