How do you know if a chemical reaction is balanced ?

Hey there!

We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.

Hope this helps!

SEP math! Each day, the average person's

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Quarts of blood = 72000

Quarts of urine = 720

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>

Each day, the average person's
kidneys filter around 200 quarts of blood.
About 2 quarts of urine is produced in the
process.

In one year the average person's kidney filter quarts of blood and quarts of urine.

Here, we know that

1 year = 365 days

For blood

200 × 365 = 72000

For urine

2 × 365 = 720

Thus, The average person's kidney filters 72000 quarts of blood and 720 quarts of urine.

How do scientists test for a substance’s flammability in a substance

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Determining flammability can be as simple as holding a sample of the substance over a match. If it burns, it is flammable, leading to additional experiments to find more properties. Measuring the heat given off by the substance when it burns gives the heat of combustion.

How many grams of sulfuric acid are needed to produce 57.0 grams of water? Show all steps of your calculation as well as the fin

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

155.16 g.

Explanation:

Firstly, It is considered as a stichiometry problem.

From the balanced equation: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → 2Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

It is clear that the stichiometry shows that 2.0 moles of NaOH reacts with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to give 2.0 moles of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of H₂O.

We must convert the grams of water (57.0 g) to moles <em>(n = mass/molar mass)</em>.

n = (57.0 g) / (18.0 g/mole) = 3.1666 moles.

Now, we can get the number of moles of H₂SO₄ that is needed to produce 3.1666 moles of water.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ → 2.0 moles of H₂O, <em>from the stichiometry of the balanced equation</em>.

??? moles of H₂SO₄ → 3.1666 moles of H₂O.

The number of moles of H₂SO₄ that will produce 3.1666 moles of H₂O <em>(57.0 g)</em> is (1.0 x 3.1666 / 2.0) = 1.5833 moles.

Finally, we should convert the number of moles of H₂SO₄ into grams <em>(n = mass/molar mass)</em>.

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 98.0 g/mole.

mass = n x molar mass = (1.5833 x 98.0) = 155.16 g.

What is the percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid? O 25% 50% o 75% O 66%

marishachu [46]

Answer: 50%

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs are 2 for hybridization to be $sp$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

1. percentage of s character in sp hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 100=50\%$

2. percentage of s character in $sp^2$ hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 100=33.3\%$

3. percentage of s character in $sp^3$ hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Thus percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid is 50%.
