Answer: B. Elements are represented by chemical formulas.

Elements are pure substances, which means that they cannot be broken down into simpler substances. The element is the most basic substance that exists, breaking it down further means breaking it down into protons, neutrons, and electrons, which is no longer a substance.

Elements have chemical properties that allow them to form different types of bonds with other elements.

However, elements *alone* are not represented by their chemical formulas. Only chemical bonds or ions are represented by a chemical formula.

Hydrogen gas and aqueous zinc chloride are produced by the reaction of aqueous hydrochloric acid and solid zinc . Write a balanc

Ymorist [56]

1. Write out all the ions/elements and indicate whether they are reactants or products.

Reactants:

Aqueous Hydrochloric Acid: HCl (H has a charge of +1 and Cl has a charge of 1-, so when an ionic bond forms they will form HCl).

Solid Zinc: Zn (since it is a solid zinc with no other forms of elements, the zinc is pure).

Products:

Hydrogen gas: H2 (it has to be H2 because Hydrogen is a diatomic element, and when by itself during reactions, will be H2 instead of H).

Aqueous Zinc Chloride: ZnCl2 (Zn has a charge of 2+ and Cl has a charge of 1-, so through an ionic bond, they will form ZnCl2).

2. Using this information, you can then write out the unbalanced equation.

HCl + Zn -> H2 + ZnCl2

3. Next, indicate their states of matter and any aqueous solutions.

HCl (aq) + Zn (s) -> H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq)

4. Try different numbers until you get the same numbers of H, Cl, and Zn on both sides.

2 HCl (aq) + Zn (s) -> H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq)

As you can see, the equation contains 2 Hydrogen atoms on both sides, 2 Chloride atoms on both sides, and 1 Zinc atom on both sides. The equation is chemically balanced.

Can elements be broken down further into other pure substances?

grigory [225]

No they can't because the definition of an element is, something that exists as a single atom
For example, oxygen is an element and can't be broken down anymore however, it can be combined with hydrogen to make water

Consider the reaction 3Fe2O3(s) + H2(g)2Fe3O4(s) + H2O(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy chang

balandron [24]

Answer:

the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.68 moles of Fe2O3(s) react at standard conditions = 49.73 J/K.

Explanation:

3Fe2O3(s) + H2(g)-----------2Fe3O4(s) + H2O(g)

∆S°rxn = n x sum of ∆S° products - n x sum of ∆S° reactants

∆S°rxn = [2x∆S°Fe3O4(s) + ∆S°H2O(g)] - [3x∆S°Fe2O3(s) + ∆S°H2(g)]

∆S°rxn = [(2x146.44)+(188.72)] - [(3x87.40)+(130.59)] J/K

∆S°rxn = (481.6 - 392.79) J/K =88.81J/K.

For 3 moles of Fe2O3 react, ∆S° =88.81 J/K,

then for 1.68 moles Fe2O3 react, ∆S° = (1.68 mol x 88.81 J/K)/(3 mol) = 49.73 J/K the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.68 moles of Fe2O3(s) react at standard conditions.
