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

Chemistry

antiseptic1488 [7]2 years ago

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.

dlinn [17]
The answer that best completes the statement above is EXTENSIVE LAVA FLOW. Maria is the name that refers to an asteroid family. And this has punctured the surface of the moon which created magma to bleed out and resulted in an extensive lava flow. Hope this answer helps.

lana [24]

Answer:

b. Plants grown in typical soil

Explanation:

The experimental control is one that controls for the condition you have changed. The student was changing the salt concentration. But she has to also grow plants in typical conditions to make sure that the plants are able to grow typically. It ensures that any changes made are the result of the changing experimental conditions, not some other factor.

This controls for unforeseen circumstances, such as that none of the plants grow (maybe the seeds were faulty, maybe the weather was poor). It allows you to make conclusions based on what would have happened if you changed nothing. It is vital for ALL scientific experiments!

Answer:

8 possible microstates.

Explanation:

Supposed we tossed three (3) coins (a nickel, a dime, and a quarter).

The possible outcomes can be seen as follows.

Coin

1st. +1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 -1 -1

2nd +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 -1 -1

3rd +1 -1 +1 +1 -1 -1 +1 -1

There 8 (eight) microstates are possible.
