A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?
1 answer:
The complete question is: A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?
A) The drawing is wrong because there are more chemicals on the products side.
B) The drawing is correct because there are 12 compounds on each side of the arrow.
C) The drawing is wrong because there are different compounds on each side of the arrow.
D) The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.
Answer:
Option D is correct
Explanation:
In the diagram attached below, it can be seen that there are 12 atoms of element which combine with 12 atoms of another element forming a compound. For the drawing to be correct, there should be 12 atoms of each type of element on both the reactants as well as product side, which is the case. There cannot be imbalance in the number of atoms of different elements on the two sides for a chemical reaction to occur.
Hence, option D is correct.

Answer: a) Moment = 200N.m
b) F = 500N
Explanation: <u>Moment</u> or <u>Torque</u> is the tendency of a body to rotate because of an aplplied force. It can be calculated as
F is force applied
r is distance from the force to the point of rotation
θ is the angle formed between force and distance
a) Since F and r are perpendicular, θ=90°, sin90° = 1, so
200
<u>Torque</u><u> caused by weight of the barrier at the pivot is </u><u>200N.m</u>
<u />
b) Counterweight has the same torque as pivot: 200
So, to find Force necessary to balance the weight:
F = 500
<u>It is necessary </u><u>a force of 500N</u><u> from the counterweight to balance the weight.</u>
