Answer : The number of oxygen atoms present on reactant side are, 4

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

Decomposition reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more smaller molecules as a product.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that, there 4 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen present on both reactant side and product side.

Hence, the number of oxygen atoms present on reactant side are, 4

Answer:

•   Chemical properties can only be observed during a chemical reaction:

Chemical properties can only be established by changing a substance's chemical identity, and chemical properties are different from physical properties, which can be observed by viewing or touching a sample. The internal qualities of a substance must be altered to determine its chemical properties.

Examples:

Some common chemical properties are heat of combustion, enthalpy of formation, toxicity,

and flammability, each of which will be covered in this lesson.

•   Rusting of iron is the chemical reaction not physical because:

The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a

new substance. When iron rusts, iron molecules react with oxygen molecules to make a compound

called iron oxide. Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron

throughout the process.

The equation for this reaction is: 4Fe+ 3O2 → 2Fe2O

•   Melting and boiling points are physical properties:

Yes melting and boiling points are the physical properties.  

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.  

Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.

•   Mass and volume are chemical properties:

No mass and volume are the extensive physical properties of matter

All properties of matter are either physical or chemical properties and physical properties are either intensive or extensive.

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured.

Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.

Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance’s chemical identity.

•   Various components of a mixture do not combine chemically:

When various components of a mixture do not combine chemically it is a Combination of substances in which individual components do not combine chemically but retain their individual properties. Mixture in which one or more substances are distributed evenly in another substance.

When various components combine chemically then form chemical compounds that are often divided into two categories. Metals often react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds. These compounds are composed of positive and negative ions formed by adding or subtracting electrons from neutral atoms and molecules

A little aluminum boat (mass of 14.50
Valentin [98]
When the volume is 450 cm3 so the boat will displace 450 g.

so we have  450 g - 14.5g = 435.5 left 

so to get how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks can be determined by:

divided the mass for the one penny:

no.of Penny = 435.5 / 2.5g

                     = 174.2 

∴ the boat will float with 174 pennies and will start to sink with 175
