Explanation:
A reaction in which heat and light are produced is a combustion reaction. Combustion is said to have occurred when a substance is burnt in oxygen.
The balanced equation of the reaction is;
4Li(s) + O2(g) ------->2Li2O(s)
This reaction is exothermic because heat was produced. The reaction has a low activation energy as the metal easily burst into flames in oxygen. A catalyst is not needed in this reaction because it has a low activation energy.
According to the law of conservation of mass. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. What this means is that in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side must be the same as the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side.
Explanation:
Spectator ions refers to elements/molecules that do not form part of the reaction. Basically, these elements/molecules are in the same state in the reactant and product side. From the given reaction, Ca and SO4 change their state from aqueous to solid and Na and Cl do not change their state. Therefore, Na and Cl are spectator ions and Ca and SO4 are not spectator ions.
Answer:
The correct option is C.
A) Polar (Cl is more electronegative than Si)
b) Nonpolar (Both atoms have the same electronegativity)
c) Ionic (Ionic bonds happen between a metal and a nonmetal)
d) Nonpolar (Hydrogen and carbon have about the same electronegativity) this is a common nonpolar bond)
You can identify the type of bon by looking at what is being bonded (nonmetal or metal) and the placement of the elements on the periodic table (electronegativity increases going up a group and going from left-right across a period).
