What is the chemical equation

Serggg [28]

Chemical equation is the symbolic representation of chemical reactions.

Explanation

Chemical reactions are known as the reaction where two or more molecules or compounds react with each other leading to formation of product compounds along with either release or absorption of energy.

The symbolic representation of the processes occurring in a chemical reaction is termed as chemical equation.

The symbolic representation includes the reactants, products, external energy type and quantity of external energy and also about release of energy if occurs.

So the reactants are usually written in the left side of the chemical equation whereas on the right the products are written.

Both the sides are linked by a single headed arrow mark.

Some both the sides are linked by double heated arrow mark indicating the equilibrium chemical reaction.

Explain how to convert a mass of compound A to a mass of compound D in words with no equations using the following reaction 2A +

leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is:

2A + 4B → C + 3D

We know the mass of compound A in the reaction above. We are to find the mass of compound D.

We simply work from the known mass to calculate the mass of the unkown compound D

Using the mole concept, we can find the unknown mass.

Procedures

We first find the molar mass of the compound A from the atomic units of the constituent elements.
We then use the molar mass of A to calculate its number of moles using the expression below:

Number of moles of A = $\frac{mass of A}{molar mass of A}$

Using the known number of moles of A, we can work out the number of moles of D.

From the balanced equation of the reaction, it is shown that:

2 moles of compound A was used up to produced 3 moles of D

Then $\frac{3}{2}$ x number of moles of A would give the number of moles of D

Now that we know the number of moles of D, we can find its mass using the expression below:

Mass of D = number of moles of D x molar mass of D

An electric current can be conducted by _____. a sugar solution rubbing alcohol methane gas a salt solution

VMariaS [17]

The answer is salt water.

Salt water can conduct electricity or we can say that an electric current is conducted by salt water as salt water is a good conductor of electricity when salt that is sodium chloride or NaCl is dissolved in water , positively charged sodium (Na⁺) and negatively charged chlorine(Cl⁻) molecules are set apart by the water molecule so that they can float easily and freely. We can define the conductivity of a substance as the mobility or movement of ions. So as in water, sodium and chlorine are set apart and can move freely so it become a electrolyte that can conduct electricity.
