Nuclear fusion in the sun involves hydrogen (H) atoms combining to form helium (He). A student claims that since the atmosphere

contains hydrogen, any fusion reaction on Earth would result in an uncontrolled chain reaction. What is wrong with the student's reasoning?
The hydrogen in air is not densely packed enough for an uncontrolled chain reaction.
Uncontrolled chain reactions can only happen during nuclear fission.
It is impossible to cause a fusion reaction to happen anywhere outside of the sun.
We are safe because there is no radioactive hydrogen in the air.

Sulfuric acid solid aluminum hydroxide to form liquid water and a solubale salt. What is the balance equation
Hatshy [7]

Balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid & solid aluminum hydroxide to form liquid water and a soluble salt is 3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃  Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O.

<h3>What is balanced equation?</h3>

Balanced chemical equations are those in which all entities are present in same amount on both sides of the chemical equation.

Balanced chemical reaction for the given compounds will be shown as:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃  Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O

Above chemical equation is the balanced equation as all atoms are present in same amount on the left side as well as on the right side of the reaction.

Hence balanced equation is 3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃  Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O.

If 8.00 mol of NH3 reacted with 14.0 mol of O2, how many moles of H20 will be produced?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

 12 moles of water will be produced

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of NH₃ = 8.00 mol

Number of moles of O₂ = 14.0 mol

Number of moles of H₂O produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 7O₂        →      4NO₂ +6H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

              NH₃           :           H₂O

               4               :            6

               8               :          6/4×8 = 12

             O₂               :              H₂O

              7                 :               6

              14               :           6/7×14 = 12

 12 moles of water will be produced.

CH3CH2OH+3O2 2CO2+3H20 ( ethanol) explain this equation! if u didn't understand the wat I have written could u text in personal
Alexandra [31]

The equation is given is of combustion of ethanol.

Fuel ethanol (C2H5OH) has high energy carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds that store chemical energy. From the ethanol container, ethanol molecules evaporating, enter the flame's base. A physical action called evaporation converts liquid into gas. Ethanol evaporates with a constant molecular structure.

The molecules of ethanol and oxygen combine inside the flame and undergo a chemical transformation. Let's consider matter, or the atoms. The oxygen (O2) and ethanol (C2H5OH) molecules' atoms reorganise into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). There are always the same number of atoms. A chemical equation may be used to demonstrate how the atoms are rearranged.

Energy is released as the atoms in the oxygen and ethanol are rearranged. When the high-energy C-C and C-H bonds in ethanol are swapped out for the low-energy H-O and C=O bonds in carbon dioxide and water, chemical energy is released as heat and light.

The ethanol and oxygen atoms are rearranged into carbon dioxide and water during burning. Water and carbon dioxide escape from the flame's top.

To conclude with we can say that the given reaction of combustion of ethanol. Ethanol with oxygen given carbon dioxide with water on reaction.
