Explain how synthesis and decomposition reactions can be reverse of one another

1 answer:

5 0

Decompostion reaction have the general chemical reaction of: AB = A + B while synthesis reactions are of the general equation A + B = AB. These reaction can be the reverse of each other because ones building a compound (synthesis) and ones breaking down a compound (decomposition). For example, when reacting carbon and oxygen for a synthesis reaction we have: C + O2 = CO2 and for a decomposition reaction we have: CO2 = C + O2. Thus, these two reactions are the reverse of each other.

What is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? what is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? ch2o cho c2h5o c2h4o cho2?

stira [4]

Empirical formula: The formula consist of proportions of the elements which is present in the compound or the simplest whole number ratios of atoms.

Now, molecular formula is equal to the product of n (ratio) and empirical formula.

Molecular formula = $n\times empirical formula$ (1)

molecular formula = $C_{12}H_{24}O_{6}$ (given)

Since, 6 is the smallest subscript in above molecular formula to get the simpler whole number of atoms. Therefore, divide all the subscripts i.e. number of carbon atoms (12), number of hydrogen atoms (24) and number of oxygen atoms (6) by 6.

empirical formula becomes $C_{2}H_{4}O$

Thus, according to the formula (1)

$C_{12}H_{24}O_{6} = 6\times C_{2}H_{4}O$

Hence, empirical formula of given molecular formula is $C_{2}H_{4}O$

How do we find the number of electrons in an atom?

Anon25 [30]

I Believe this is the right answer:

Get a periodic table of elements. ...

Find your element on the periodic table. ...

Locate the element's atomic number. ...

Determine the number of electrons. ...

Look for the atomic mass of the element. ...

Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

How to change 5 % W/V of NaCl to ppm , M ? molar mass = 58.5 please clear explain

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

50000ppm and 0.855M.

Explanation:

ppm is an unit of chemistry defined as the ratio between mg of solute (NaCl) and Liters of solution. Molarity, M, is the ratio between moles of NaCl and liters

A 5% (w/v) NaCl contains 5g of NaCl in 100mL of solution.

To solve the ppm of this solution we need to find the mg of NaCl and the L of solution:

mg NaCl:

5g * (1000mg / 1g) = 5000mg

L Solution:

100mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.100L

ppm:

5000mg / 0.100L = 50000ppm

To find molarity we need to obtain the moles of NaCl in 5g using its molar mass:

5g * (1mol / 58.5g) = 0.0855moles NaCl

Molarity:

0.0855mol NaCl / 0.100L = 0.855M

In what way do the atoms in the same row of the Periodic Table increase from left to right?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

As you move from left to right, the nucleus gains protons. This increases the positive charge of the nucleus and its attractive force on the electrons. At the same time, electrons are added to the atoms as you move from left to right across a period.

Why should reactions not be performed in graduated cylinder?

Stells [14]

Answer:

A Graduated Cylinder has a limited round and hollow shape with each stamped line demonstrating the volume of fluid being estimated. While they are commonly more exact and exact than lab flagons and recepticles, they ought not be utilized to perform volumetric examination.
