Why is the formation of a ternary compound also a synthesis reaction?

Chemistry

olganol [36]4 years ago

A compound that has three different elements is called the ternary compound. The formation of a ternary compound is also considered to be a synthesis reaction because the ternary compound is in need to form a new compound by combining two compounds. Thus, a synthesis reaction is form when two substances are able to react in order to form a substance.

Answer:

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is an exothermic reaction involving the formation of a single product. While a ternary compound is a compound that contains three different elements [for example Ca₃(PO₄)₂].

An example of the formation of a ternary compound

NH₃ + H₂O ⇒ NH₄OH

It can be seen from the above exothermic reaction that the production of the ternary compound is a synthesis reaction.

Explain why it is necessary to balance chemical equations in terms of maintaining equilibrium. How can you tell when a chemical
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.

What is the reaction scheme for the experiment of synthesis of methyl salicylate
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.

Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).

Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions? Which is generally stronger, intermolec
Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.

B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

Explanation:

<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>

Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.

<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>

When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.
