Hey there!

Ca + O₂ → CaO

Balance O.

2 on the left, 1 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of CaO.

Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Balance Ca.

1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of Ca.

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Our final balanced equation: 2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2Ca(s) + O2(g) = 2CaO(s)

Explanation:

2 moles of calcium reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to yield 2 moles of calcium oxide.

Thus, the reaction shows the formation of calcium oxide when calcium metal burns in the presence of oxygen. This is also the laboratory preparation of calcium oxide from calcium and oxygen.

The oxidation of ammonia produces nitrogen and water via the following reaction: 4NH3(g) + 3O2(g) → 2N2(g) + 6H2O(l) Suppose the

Answer:

The rate of consumption of $NH_{3}$ is 2.0 mol/L.s

Explanation:

Applying law of mass action to this reaction-

$-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}$

where $-\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}$ represents rate of consumption of $NH_{3}$ , $-\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t}$ represents rate of consumption of $O_{2}$ , $\frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t}$ represents rate of formation of $N_{2}$ and $\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}$ represents rate of formation of $H_{2}O$ .

Here rate of formation of $H_{2}O$ is 3.0 mol/(L.s)

From the above equation we can write-

$-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}$

Here $\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}=3.0 mol/(L.s))$

So, $-\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}$

Hence, $-\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\times 3.0 mol/(L.s)=2.0 mol/(L.s)$

Which one of the following descriptions relating to nuclear reactions is correct?

monitta

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.
