Consider the incomplete reaction below.

First, we can see that the output is a salt and water which means that the reactants were an acid and a base. Since the given reactant is a base, thus, NH4OH is excluded as it is also a base.

Now, examining the outputs of the reactions, we will find that they are composed mainly of sodium, hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. This excludes H3PO4 as it contains phosphorus.

The last step is to compare between the number of moles of each element in the output with those in the input. The output has 1 sodium mole, 2 carbon moles, 5 hydrogen moles and 3 oxygen moles.
The given input (NaOH) has 1 sodium, 1 oxygen and 1 hydrogen moles. Therefore, the other input (reactant) should have 2 carbon, 4 hydrogen and 2 oxygen moles.

Based on this, the right solution is CH3COOH.

When is balance achieved between the forward and reverse reactions?

docker41 [41]

Equilibrium occurs when forward and reverse directions of a reversible reaction occur at the same rate so there is no overall change in the amounts of reactants and products.

Give the number of significant figures in this number: 7.8 x 10¹²

denis-greek [22]

The number is written in scientific notation.

The significant figures are the numbers known precisely plus 1 digit that is uncertain.

When the numbers are expressed in scientific notation all the digits before 10^n are significant.

So, 7 and 8 are significant figures and the answer is that the number of significant figures is 2.

1 mole of no2(g) has a greater entropy than 1 mole of n2o4(g). true or false

bija089 [108]

In order to answer this, you need to find the empirical data for the standard entropies. Please refer to this link: http://www.mrbigler.com/misc/energy-of-formation.PDF

For NO₂ gas, the entropy is 240 J/mol-K. For N₂O₄ gas, the entropy is 304.2 J/mol-K. Therefore, the statement is false.

The period of an osciller is 2.34 minutes. What id the frequency of this oscillator in hertz?

AleksAgata [21]

Explanation:

Given parameters

Period = 2.34minutes

Unknown:

Frequency of the oscillator = ?

Solution:

Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point at a given time. It is the inverse of period which is the time it takes for a wave to pass through a medium:

F = $\frac{1}{T}$
