The answer is: C. decomposition.

Decomposition is reaction where one substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances.

Balanced chemical reaction of water decomposition: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂.

This is decomposition reaction, because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced.

Chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.

A force of 20 N acts upon 5 kg block caculate the accerleration of the object

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}$

Explanation:

F = ma

$a = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{\text{20 N}}{\text{5 kg}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg$\cdot$ m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}{\text{1 N}} = \text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}\\\\\text{The acceleration of the object is } \boxed{\textbf{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{\mathbf{-2}}$}}$

How many grams of h2 will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium

Explanation:

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) you can see that the following amounts in moles of each compound react and are produced:

HCl: 2 moles
Na: 1 mole
NaCl: 2 moles
H₂: 1 mole

You know the following masses of each element:

H: 1 g/mole
Cl: 35.45 g/mole
Na: 23 g/mole

So, the molar mass of each compound participating in the reaction is:

HCl: 1 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 36.45 g/mole
Na: 23 g/mole
NaCl: 23 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 58.45 g/mole
H₂: 2* 1 g/mole= 2 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts in grams of each of the compounds participating in the reaction react and are produced:

HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
Na: 1 mole* 23 g/mole= 23 g
NaCl: 2 moles* 58.45 g/mole= 116.9 g
H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g

So, a rule of three applies as follows: if by stoichiometry, when reacting 72.9 grams of HCl 2 grams of H₂ are formed, when reacting 175 grams of HCl how much mass of H₂ will be formed?

$mass of H_{2} =\frac{175 g of HCl*2g ofH_{2} }{72.9 g of HCl}$
