First step is to balance the amount of atoms on each side

So for example if my equation that I have to balance is : Br2 -> Br-

First thing I would have to do would be :
Br2 -> 2Br-

Then I would have to balance the charges on both sides. So because there is a -2 charge on the right side I will have to add a -2 charge onto the right side as well. I would do this by :
Br2 + 2e- -> 2Br-

And now you can see the amount of atoms and the charges are balanced... So your overall reaction is now balanced too.

Water wheels convert the kinetic energy of moving water into which form? A. potential energy B. chemical energy C. gravitational
denpristay [2]

Answer:

the answer is mechanical energy

Explanation:

A water wheel converts the kinetic energy of moving or falling water into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used for powering the mill.Water wheels have wooden or metal wheels that have buckets or blades attached around them. They are placed in a river or lake. The force of the water rotates the wheel. As the wheel moves, it turns an axle attached horizontally to the wheel. The axle in turn moves the system of gears that operate the functioning of mills. Waterwheels were used for preparing fiber and crushing ore.

10. Which of the following mirror is used to form smaller image
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Correct answer is b) convex mirror

Explanation:

A convex mirror, which bulges outward, reflects at a wider angle near its edges than at its center, creating a slightly distorted image that's smaller than actual size. Convex mirrors have many uses. The smaller size of the images means that you can see more with these surfaces, hence their use in safety mirrors.

Find the empirical formula of the compound ribose, a simple sugar often used as a nutritional supplement. A 14.229 g sample of r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.

C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%

O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%

H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%

We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.

C = 40/12 = 3.333

O = 53.29/16 = 3.33

H = 6.71/2 = 6.71

Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

O = 3.33/3.33= 1

H = 6.71/3.33 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
