Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).

To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.

For example, in this skeleton equation:

H₂ + Cl₂ => HCl

Reactants: Products:

2 hydrogen 1 hydrogen

2 chlorine 1 chlorine

Write the coefficient 2 in the products.

H₂ + Cl₂ => 2HCl

Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is valuable to many industries. Low percent yields can result in the loss of large amou

aev [14]

Using accurate measurements, using pure chemicals and performing the reaction under the most ideal conditions is important to get a valuable percent yield.

<h3>How we calculate the percent yield?</h3>

Percent yield of any chemical reaction is define as the ratios of the actual yield to the theoretical yield of the product and multiply by the 100.

To get the high percent yield or actual yield of any reaction, we have to perform the reaction under ideal condition because if we not use the standard condition then we get the low rate of reaction. Reactants should be present in the pure form as impurity make unwanted products and reduce the productivity of main product and accurate amount of reactants also important for the spontaneous reaction.

Hence, options (a), (b) & (c) are correct.

Charles's law is an experimental gas law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its corresponding volu

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

Charles law describes the behavior of gases when heated. Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas would increase as its Kelvin temperature increases provided the pressure is held constant. That is the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature at constant pressure

ch question carries 2 mark. Time Remaining : 00 : 46 : 33 Some oxides are given below. (i)Na2O (ii)NO2 (iii) CO2 (iv) MgO a) Whi

cluponka [151]

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The basic oxide is an oxide-forming a base solution.

These oxides are mainly from group 1 alkaline and group 2-alkaline earth

If this oxide is dissolved in water it will form an alkaline solution

LO + H₂O --> L(OH)₂ ---> alkaline earth

L₂O + H₂O --> LOH --> alkaline

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O --> NaOH (sodium hydroxide, strong base)

MgO + H₂O --> Mg(OH)₂ (magnesium hydroxide, strong base)

The aqueous solution of CO₂ , obtained by dissolving CO₂ in water

CO₂ + H₂O --> H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid)

In general, basic oxide is obtained from metal oxide, while acid oxide is obtained from non-metal oxide
