Answer:

A, B, C

Explanation:

Notice that this reaction involves double arrows, meaning this represents an equilibrium reaction in which we observe a forward reaction (combination of hemoglobin and oxygen) and a reverse reaction (decomposition of the oxyhemoglobin complex).

Upon inhalation of oxygen, it accesses the blood of a person and binds to hemoglobin, so the following reaction proceeds to the right.

Similarly, the opposite process takes place in muscles, oxyhemoglobin is decomposed back into hemoglobin and oxygen.

The equilibrium constant reaction is relatively high, since at standard conditions, this is a spontaneous reaction, hemoglobin combines with oxygen without any additional external source of energy.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: A, C, E

Explanation:

After reading the information given, we can conclude that both reactants react to form a new solid product and another product that do not precipitate.

The reaction is:

AgNO₃ + NaCl ⇒ AgCl + NaNO₃

a. Formation of a solid indicates that a chemical reaction occurred This option is correct, precipitation indicates that a changed occurred in the solution due to a chemical reaction.

b. The initial disappearance of silver nitrate in water indicates a chemical reaction occurred No, what is happing is that silver nitrate is dissolving in water, this process is a physical change because matter do not change its nature.

c. The color change of the solution indicates a chemical reaction occurred This option is true, when a color appears suggest the formation of a new product.

d. A chemical reaction occurred when silver nitrate was added to water

This option is not correct, in this process silver nitrate is dissolving in water but it is not a chemical reaction because matter does not change is nature.

e. A chemical reaction occurred when the solutions were combined This option is true because silver nitrate and sodium chloride react to form a new product (solid formation and change in color).

f. The lack of temperature change indicates a chemical reaction didn't occur This is false, some reactions do not need a change of color to happen.

The answer is
<span>2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)

Your answer is not yet balanced because you have 3 oxygen atoms. it should be balanced by multiplying both side by 2 such as the balanced equation I made. To check it, I will explain why your answer is not yet balanced.

check: (from your equation)
</span> 1-Pb-1
1-S-1
2 -O-3
the difference between the reactant and the product of Oxygen will prove that it is not yet balanced.

If you use 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g), to check it:
2-Pb-2
2-S-2
6 -O-6
then this is now balance
