Answer:  CaC_2(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(aq)+C_2H_2(g)

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The solutions in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical reaction is:

CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(aq)+C_2H_2(g)

The answer is B on edge

Explanation:

Here are my notes on this section for anyone that needs them

Enthalpy and State Function

Bonds contain potential energy. Breaking and forming bonds involves energy. Reactants and products contain energy. Enthalpy (H) is a measure of heat and internal energy in a system.

A state function is a quantity whose change in magnitude during a process depends only on the beginning and end points the process, not the path taken between them. Enthalpy change during reaction depends only on the identity of reactants and products and their initial and finial condition

Enthalpy of Formation

enthalpy of formation (Hf) is the energy absorbed or released when a pure substance forms from elements in their standard states

Units: kJ/mol, kcal/mol

Standard state is the natural state of an element at 1 atm (atmosphere of pressure) and 25 degrees celsius. Hf for a pure element in its standard state is 0 kJ/mol.

H (hydrogen):    H2(g)

N (nitrogen): N2(g)

O (oxygen): O2(g)

F (fluorine): F2(g)

Cl (chlorine): Cl2(g)

Br (bromine): Br2(l)

Hg (mercury): Hg(l)

Enthalpy of Reaction

Enthalpy of reaction (Hrxn) is energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction

Hrxn negative: exothermic reaction

Hrxn positive: endothermic reaction

Hess's Law: Hrxn =  Σ(ΔHƒ, products) − Σ(ΔHƒ, reactants)

thermochemical equation: the chemical equation that shows the state of each substance involved and the energy change involved in a reaction

Find the kJ/mol of the product and then subtract the kJ/mol of the reactants.

use the density formula to solve the following problems. a sample of a substance has a volume of 60.5mL and a density of 1.20mL.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

mass of substance =50.4 g

Explanation:

Using the density formula;

Density = mass of substance / volume of substance

Therefore, making mass subject of the density formula,

mass of substance = volume of substance / density of substance

volume  of substance = 60.5 mL, density = 1.20 g/mL ( since common units of density is either g/cm³ or g/mL)

mass of the substance = 60.5 mL / 1.20 g/mL

mass of substance = 50.4 g

On Monday while Johnny was getting ready for school, he was in the bathroom holding his comb when he got an itch on his head. Jo
balandron [24]
I'd say that his comb has a static electricity charge. It can either be negative, or positive. Let's just say it's positive, and the water is negatively charged. This means that it will affect the water flow when the two charges meet. I hope this helps! ~Mia
