Reaction: 2K₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2KOH₍aq₎ + H₂₍g₎.
K - potassium.
H₂O - water.
KOH - potassium-hydroxide.
H₂ - hydrogen.
s - solid phase.
l - liquid.
aq - disolves in water.
g - gas.
Reaction is exothermal (release of energy) and potassium burns a purple flame. H<span>ydrogen released during the reaction  reacts with </span>oxygen<span> and ignites.</span><span>

Which equation represents a conservation of atoms? Group of answer choices LaTeX: 4Fe\:+3O_2\:\longrightarrow\:2Fe_2O_3 4 F e +
slamgirl [31]

Answer : The equation represents a conservation of atoms is:

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation :

Law of conservation of matter : It states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

The balanced chemical reaction always follow the law of conservation of matter.

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

(1) The given chemical reaction is,

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

This reaction is a balanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of iron and oxygen are equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction obey the law of conservation of matter.

(2) The given chemical reaction is,

2Fe+2O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of iron and oxygen are not equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction does not obey the law of conservation of matter.

(3) The given chemical reaction is,

4Fe+2O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of oxygen are not equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction does not obey the law of conservation of matter.

Hence, the equation represents a conservation of atoms is:

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1.  London dispersion forces

2.  Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2.  Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.
