Answer:

Melting

Explanation:

solid to liquid

and freezing is when liquid changes back to solid

but candle wax doesn't freeze, it evaporates. The gaseous wax burns in oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide, heat and light. The burning candle also produces carbon, in the form of the black soot we see on the spoon.

Endorphins are generated in the body during exercise, which leads to better emotional health. Please select the best answer from

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: Yes the statement is true.

Explanation: Endorphins are chemicals produced by the human bodies to relieve stress and pain.

They are produced mainly by brain and help to transmit electrical signals within nervous system, thus are called as neurotransmitters.

They are also called as "feel good chemicals" as they can act as pain relievers and happiness booster and thus lead to better emotional health.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Write the net ionic equation for the below chemical reaction:

(c): $FeCl_3+3NH_4OH\rightarrow Fe(OH)_3+3NH_4CI$

Answer: The net ionic equation is $Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_3(s)$

Explanation:

Net ionic equation is defined as the equations in which spectator ions are not included.

Spectator ions are the ones that are present equally on the reactant and product sides. They do not participate in the reaction.

(c):

The balanced molecular equation is:

$FeCl_3(aq)+3NH_4OH(aq)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_3(s)+3NH_4Cl(aq)$

The complete ionic equation follows:

$Fe^{3+}(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)+3NH_4^+(aq)+3OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_3(s)+3NH_4^+(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)$

As ammonium and chloride ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

$Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_3(s)$

Draw the conjugate base for the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction that occurs when the following acid reacts with water. Show al

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The structures are shown below.

Explanation:

When the acid reacts with water, it loses one proton (H⁺) and forms a base, which is the conjugate base of its acid.

The formal charge of an atom can be calculated by:

FC = X - (Y + Z/2)

Where X is the valence electrons of the neutral atom, Y is the unshared electrons, and Z is the shared electrons in the molecule.

a) When HCl deprotonates, it forms Cl⁻ as the conjugate base. The neutral atom Cl has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1 The structure is shown below in figure a.

b) When Hbr deprotonates it forms Br- as the conjugate base. The neutral atom has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1. The structure is shown below in figure b.

c) When CH3COOH loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base CH3COO⁻. The carbon as 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has 1 valence electron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The first carbon make simple bonds with each hydrogen and with the second carbon, and so, all the electrons are shared, and it has FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0, as so the hydrogens have FC = 1 - (0 + 2/2) = 0.

The second carbon does 1 simple bond with the first carbon, a double bond with one oxygen, and a simple bond with the other oxygen, and so doesn't have unshared electrons, and FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0.

The first oxygen does a double bond with the carbon, and so it has 4 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0. The second oxygen does a simple bond with the carbon, and so has 5 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (5 + 2/2) = 0.

The structure is shown in figure c.
