Investigations were carried out in a science lab to explore the topic of chemical and physical changes. Investigation A Step 1.

Add 5 tsp. salt to 100 ml warm water and stir until most or all of the salt is no longer visible. Step 2. Heat the salt solution on a burner until only a white solid remains. Investigation B Step 1. Mix 10 tsp. white sugar into 100 ml water and stir until most or all of the sugar is no longer visible. Step 2. Heat the sugar solution on a burner until the solution thickens and turns brown. In which step(s) did a chemical change most likely occur?

Answer : B) In step 2, there was a chemical change which was observed in sugar.

Explanation : In A step 2 there was a physical change that was seen. By just boiling the dissolved salt solution salt was obtained. Therefore, it is a physical change. In B step 2 there was a chemical change seen as sugar solution was thickened and turned brown. It was not obtained in its original form; there was a chemical reaction that took place during sugar evaporation. As chemical change is the one where the reaction is irreversible.

Therefore only in B step 2 there was a chemical change that was observed.

Answer is: B step 2,  Heat the sugar solution on a burner until the solution thickens and turns brown.

This is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substance (caramel) is formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

In other examples physical change is occured.

The same substance is present before and after the psysical change, just with different form or state of matter. Making mixture is physical change (physical change is reversible).

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

2CH4(g)+3O2(g)→2CO(g)+4H2O(g)

Explanation:

Start with methane (CH4) and the gas product CO. It is safe to assume that the remaining products and reactants are O2 and H2O. There we have an unbalanced equation CH4+O2->CO+H2O after which it can be balanced as above.

Write a chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the following cell: Cu|Cu2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag Express your answer as a b
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell reaction properly written is shown below:

              Cu|Cu²⁺_{aq} || Ag⁺_{aq} | Ag

From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.

  Oxidation half:

                  Cu_{s}  ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻

At the anode, oxidation occurs.

  Reduction half:

                  Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag_{s}

At the cathode, reduction occurs.

To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:

             Cu_{s}  ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻

              Ag⁺_{aq} + e⁻ ⇄ Ag_{s}

  we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:

         2Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag_{s}

The net reaction equation:

Cu_{s} + 2Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ + 2Ag_{s}

We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:

  Cu_{s} + 2Ag⁺_{aq} ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2Ag_{s}
