A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Answer:
The concept of lewis acids and bases can explain the acidic nature of CO2. A lewis acid is a compound which can accept an electron pair whereas a lewis base is a compound which can donate an electron pair. CO2 acts as a lewis acid.
In order to solve this, we need to make use of Hess' Law.
We are already given the equations and their corresponding deltaH. Using Hess' Law, we can generate this equation:
104 kJ = x - (-1182 kJ) - (-1144 kJ)
Among the choices, the answer is
<span>B.104 = x - [(-1182) + (-1144)]

Answer:
A) The mass would be the same.
Explanation:
Since there is no loss of any particle to vapor during the phase change process from solid to liquid, the mass of the before and after the process will remain the same.
- In this way, the law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
- Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.
- Since there is no room for escape or matter loss, the mass will remain the same.
