Potassium is an element with a symbol of K. When it forms an oxide, it means that it has undergone combustion. The complete reaction for this is

K + O₂ ⇒ K₂O

This is a combination reaction which involves two reactants and one single product. It is important to note that the Law of Conservation of Mass mass be obeyed at all times. Technically, the law involved in balancing reactions is the Law of Definite Proportions. This is obeyed by making sure that the number of a specific element is the same before and after the reaction. So, the complete balanced reaction for this is

2 K + 1/2 O₂ ⇒ K₂O

The coefficient of O₂ in the reaction is 1/2.

How many bromine atoms are present in 37.5 g of CH2Br2?
ella [17]
<span>37.8 g CH2Br2 X (1 mol CH2Br2 / 173.83 g) = 4.60X10^-3 mol CH2Br2

4.60X10^-3 mol CH2Br2 X (2 mol Br / 1 mol CH2Br2) X 6.02X10^23 atoms/mol = 5.54X10^21 bromine atoms</span>

10. What effect does temperature have on molecular motion? Using this explanation, explain why both pressure and volume can decr
vovangra [49]

Answer:

If the temperature increases the molecular movement as well, and if it increases the same it will happen with the molecular movement.

Pressure, volume and temperature are three factors that are closely related since they increase the temperature, the pressure usually decreases due to the dispersion of the molecules that can be generated, so the volume also increases.

If the temperature drops, the material becomes denser, its molecules do not collide with each other, their volume and pressure increases.

Explanation:

The pressure is related to the molecular density and the movement that these molecules have.

The movement is regulated by temperature, since if it increases, the friction and collision of the molecules also.

On the other hand, the higher the volume, the less pressure there will be on the molecules, since they are more dispersed among themselves.

(in the opposite case that the volume decreases, the pressure increases)

The following information is given for benzene, C6H6, at 1atm: boiling point = 80.1 °C Hvap(80.1 °C) = 30.7 kJ/mol specific heat
user100 [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The heat required for the process is 4.24 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of benzene = 24.8 g

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of benzene}=\frac{24.8g}{78.11g/mol}=0.318mol

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

n = number of moles = 0.318 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction  = 30.7 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

30.7kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.318mol}\\\\q=(30.7kJ/mol\times 0.318mol)=4.24kJ

Hence, the heat required for the process is 4.24 kJ

Explain how natural resources are identified and why natural resources are unevenly distributed.
slava [35]

Answer:

Natural resources are naturally formed of course(wood copper fruits) and they are not distributed evenly due to competition of getting them and the prices of the resources
