Is it possible to start with 5g of one chemical and 10g of another chemical and make 15g of a third chemical?

Chemistry

Answer : No

Explanation: The chemical compounds are formed from their elements in a fixed ratio of masses, for example, in water (H2O), always Hydrogen and oxygen are combined in 1:8 by mass, i.e. with 1 g Hydrogen the Oxygen is 8 g, with 2 g Hydrogen the oxygen would be 16 g. So, there is a fixed ratio by masses.

If we were to react hydrogen with oxygen then it would again combine in 1:8 always. If we use 1 g Hydrogen with 10 g oxygen, all of the 1 g hydrogen would still react with 8 g oxygen and the third chemical formed water is 1+8 = 9 g and not 1+10 =11 g.

So, its generally not possible.

Also not all chemical reactions proceed to completion, i.e. there are always few reactant molecules left unreacted, for example the burning of candle is a chemical process where some of the lower part of wax is left behind. so, not always all of the reactants get converted to products.

Only if we have a special case where reactants react completely and you chose the masses of reactant exactly in the ratio they combine, then only the third chemica will have mass exactly equal to the sum of masses of all reactants taken at the start, like if we take hydogen 2g and oxygen 16 g then water is 2+16 = 18, because 2 will combine exactly with 16.

Hope the answer helps.

I believe deforestation increases the biodiversity of a forest ecosystem. Trees are an essential organism for all ecosystem and forms of life. Without trees we have no oxygen, however trees so reproduce, but when you are chopping them down at the rate of deforestation(hence how it got it's name) then there is an issue

Which compound is used to make asphalt?
Masteriza [31]
Asphalt is a biproduct of making gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, all from crude oil pumped from the ground. Asphalt is the garbage or waste that comes out the bottom of the process of distilling those products. They heat the thick oily-sooty gunky asphalt and mix it with rock or sand and make roads out of it. So the compound would be the long hydrocarbon chains.

The products
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The products  of self-ionization of water are OH⁻ and H⁺.

Explanation:

  • The water is self ionized according to the equation:

<em>H₂O → OH⁻ + H⁺. </em>

<em></em>

The ionic product for water (Kw) = [OH⁻][H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴.

Kw is also called "self-ionization constant" or "auto-ionization constant".
