I really need help with chemical equations and balanced chemical equations ......

What do u need help with? I’m sure I can help you
A chemical equation has 2 sides: the reactives side and the products side
For a chemical equation to be balanced these two side must have the same number of atoms of each type, since in a chemical reaction mass must stay the same

Each symbol in either side will have a subscript. A subscript is the tiny number at the bottom of the symbol. If a symbol has no subscript then that indicate there’s only one atom of that type. However if it has, for example, a 4, then that indicates the are 4 atoms of that type. The thing is these subscripts cannot be changed...
Ex.
HgO —> Hg + O₂
Hg = 1 Hg = 1
O = 1 O = 2
This is an unbalanced equation because the is not oxigen on side that the other.
To balance it u must add a coefficient. This number goes before the whole group of symbols — You can not break apart a group to insert a coefficient in the middle. This number is multiplied by the subscript on each of the symbols in the group. You need to find the correct coefficient to multiply by the elements on both sides of the equation.
Note that this coefficient does no have to be the same on both sides
Answer:
2HgO —> 2Hg + O₂
Hg = 2 Hg = 2
O = 2 O = 2
Explanation:
To fix the oxigen we need to add a coefficient to the side that has less quantity. Because 2 x 1 = 2 (1 Is oxigen’s subscript) we place the 2 in front of the group HgO, But in doing so we damage the mercury, so we need to go to the other side to fix that so we place 2 in front of Hg.

If you need any more help, have some exercises I can further explain or have more doubt about this explanation then let me know and I will help you

Ps: I do recommend you first write the quantity of each atom for each side like I did. It makes it easier to visualize what you have to balance

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization  Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

Answer:

30 hot dogs

Explanation:

It is given that :

There are 4 packets of eight wieners, i.e. 4 x 8 = 32 wieners

There are 3 bags of ten buns, i.e. 3 x 10 = 30 buns

One hot dogs need 1 bun and 1 wiener to make a hot dog.

There are 30 buns, so 30 hot dogs can be made out by using all the 30 buns and the 30 wieners out of the 32 wieners.

Therefore, 30 hot dogs.

And the number of extra wieners left = 32 - 30 = 2 wieners.

The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa
