Know what decomposition is. The compound is "breaking down".

Di means 2 while, Tetra means 4.

First, we will simply follow the instructions and break down the compound as so: The decomposition of dinitrogen tetraoxide into nitrogen gas and oxygen gas

*Take into account that diatomic molecules (HNOFClBRI) will always have a subscript of 2

N
₂O₄⇒N₂+O₂

After breaking down the compound, we must now balance the equation.

To balance the equation, we must make sure that each element has the same amount of atoms.

Starting with compound at the left of the yield: N=2 and O=4
But, at the right of the yield: N=2 and O=2
We have now discovered that the oxygen gas is not balanced throughout the equation.

N₂O₄⇒N₂+2O₂

*We simply multiply the oxygen gas on the right of the equation by 2

After multiplying, on the right side of the equation, O=4. We now have a balanced equation because all elements have the same amount of atoms on each side.

So your final answer for this balanced decomposition chemical equation is: N₂O₄⇒N₂+O₂

Three reasons for air is mixture and water is compound
zhannawk [14.2K]
1. air components change from place to place, while water will just stay the same

2. Water doesn't have nor show individual properties, but air does show that it has it's own property

3. You can separate different gases from air physically, but with water you must pass electricity through it.

Don't take my word for it, this is just what I learned back in middle school.

To measure the amount of nickel in some industrial waste fluid, an analytical chemist adds sodium hydroxide solution to a sample
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The final balanced equation is

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+

Explanation:

It is given that sodium hydroxide is added to collect the solid nickel(II) hydroxide product

The empirical equation for this statement is

Ni2+ + NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + Na+

We will first balance the hydroxide molecule. On the right side there are two OH molecules.

Thus, on the left side we will take 2 sodium hydroxide

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + Na+

Now we will balance the sodium ion which are 2 in numbers on the left side and 1 on the right side

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+

So, the final balanced equation is

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+

Burka [1]
Answer is: ammonia experience only dispersion intermolecular forces with BF₃ (boron trifluoride) because BF₃ is only nonpolar molecule (vectors of dipole moments cansel each other, dipole moment is zero).
The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) <span>is a temporary attractive </span>force between molecules.
