4. Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product

dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

4. limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

Two samples of the same compound are compared. what does the data represent? sample 1: 24.22 g carbon and 32.00 g oxygen sample

goblinko [34]

According to law of definite proportion:

In a compound, elements are always arranged in fixed ratio by mass.

Here, sample 1 has 23.22 g Carbon and 32.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

$n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{24.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 2 mol$

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

$n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{32 g}{16 g/mol}=2 mol$

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

$C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=2:2=1:1$

Therefore, formula of compound will be CO.

Sample 2:

It has 36.22 g Carbon and 48.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

$n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{36.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 3 mol$

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

$n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{48 g}{16 g/mol}=3 mol$

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

$C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=3:3=1:1$

The formula of compound will be CO.

Therefore, it is proved that carbon and oxygen are present in fixed ratios in both the samples.

How to balance the equation Mg2+HO2=Cu3O+H2<br><br>

Mariulka [41]

I think the answer is 2Mg + H2O4 = Cu12O4 + 2H

I’m really not sure though so it might be wrong… I’m not the best at balancing equations lol

Water readily sticks to many other substances, a property called ______. Water readily sticks to many other substances, a proper

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Cohesion is usually defined as the contrasting property by which the water molecules are attached to one another, and adhesion is the property by which the molecular substances are linked to the molecules of other substances.

Since, the water molecules are able to form inter-molecular hydrogen bonding, so they are comprised of strong cohesive force.

And, as the water molecules are able to stick to the walls of the container, so they tend to show more of the properties for adhesion.

Thus, according to the given condition, water molecules are sticking to other substances and this is the property of adhesion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
