Answer:
B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.
Explanation:
The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.
- Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
- The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
- Therefore, atoms of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.
Answer:
Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000
Explanation:
As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.
Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,
(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021
= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.
So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be
(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)
= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.
1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is
20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)
= $5,840,000,000,000,000

Question 4 answer: T
Answer:
A. releases a large amount of heat
Explanation:
A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.
In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
