1. a. FeS + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2S
b. This is a double- replacement reaction. (The elements "switch partners".)
2. a.2Na + F2 --> 2NaF
b. This is a composition/synthesis reaction. (The two reactants are combining or synthesizing to make one product.)
3. a. 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
b. This is a decomposition reaction. (The single reactant is breaking down or "decomposing" into multiple reactants.)
4. Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to create water in a composition/synthesis reaction.
I hope these answers will help you! If you need any explanation, ask and hopefully I can get back to you. ;)
Answer:
C₅H₁₀O₅
Explanation:
1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.
(a) Mass of C

(b) Mass of H

(c) Mass of O
Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g
2. Calculate the moles of each element

3. Calculate the molar ratios
Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer
C:H:O = 1:2:1
5. Write the empirical formula
The empirical formula is CH₂O.
6. Calculate the molecular formula.
EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u
The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.
MF = (EF)ₙ

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅
The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.
Answer:
Float
Explanation:
If the weight of liquid displaced and the weight of an object are the same, the object will float in the liquid.
From Archimedes principle, when an object is immersed in fluid, a force called upthrust supports it and it equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.
When in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced is the same as that of the of the object, it will float and not sink.
