Answer & explanation:
To balance a chemical equation, we must make sure that there are equal amounts of each element in the equation on either side.
To balance an equation step-by-step we first start by counting the amount of each element on each side. If they aren't equal, we must make them amounts equal on either side.
After you make sure all the elements are balanced, the net charge on both sides must also be equal.
Correct Question:
A spectator ion is (Select all that apply.)
- a piece of french fry contaminating the reaction mixture
- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction
-in this experiment, nitrate ion
- your eye, carefully watching the progress of the reaction
Answer:
- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction
Explanation:
A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation. A spectator ion is one that exists in the same form on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction.
Spectator ions are ions that are present in a solution but don't take part in the reaction. When reactants dissociate into ions, some of the ions may combine to form a new compound. The other ions don't take part in this chemical reaction and are therefore called spectator ions.
The correct option is therefore the option;
- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction
Answer:
C. Lithium is most easily oxidized of the metals listed on the activity series and therefore it will most easily give electrons to metal cations
Explanation:
"Lithium" is a type of alkali metal that has a "single valence electron." Since it is a reactive element, it easily gives up an electron when it is combined with other elements. Such giving up of electron is meant to create compounds or bonds.
Among the common metals listed, "lithium" is the most easily oxidized. This means that it donates its electrons immediately. Such combination makes it exist as a<em> "cation"</em> or <em>"positively-charged."</em>
So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
In this case, the system doesn't be affected by the pressure change. This means that nothing will happen
Explanation:
We can answer this question applying the Le Chatelier's Principle. It says that changes on pressure, volume or temperature of an equilibrium reaction will change the reaction direction until it returns to the equilibrium condition again.
The results of these changes can define as:
Changes on pressure: the reaction will move depending the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction
Changes on temperature: The reaction will move depending on if it's endothermic or exothermic
Changes on volume: The reaction will move depending the limit reagent and the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction
In the exercise, they mention a change on pressure of the system at constant temperature (that means the temperature doesn't change). As Le Chatelier Principle's says, we must analyze what happens if the pressure increase or decrease. If pressure increase the reaction will move on the side that have less quantity of moles, otherwise, if the pressure decreases the reaction will move to the side that have more quantity of moles. In this case, we can see that both sides of the equation have the same number of moles (2 for the reactants and 2 for the products). So, in this case, we can conclude that, despite the change on pressure (increase or decrease), nothing will happen.
