Answer:

Option A) Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass is guaranteed in a chemical equation. Since the mass of the atoms do not change, that means that the number of each kind of atoms in the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of the same kind in the product side.

The first equation is:

A) Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Number of atoms:

atom Reactant side Product side

Mg 1 1

Cl 2 2

Therefore, the table displays that there are the same number of atoms of each kind on both sides, showing that the total mass during the chemical reaction stays the same.

B) NaOH + MgCl₂ → NaCl + MgOH

This equation displays 2 atoms of Cl on the left side and 1 atom of Cl on the right side; thus, it is not showing that the total mass stays the same during the chemical reaction.

C) 2Na + 2H₂O → NaOH + H₂

Neither the sodium, nor oxygen, nor hydrogen atoms are balanced. Thus, this does not show that the total mass stays the same.

D) H₂O + O₂ → H₂O

The reactant side contains 3 oxygen atoms and the product side contains 1 atoms of oxygen; thus, this is not balanced: it does not show that the total mass stays de same during the chemical reaction.

Answer:

Explanation:

Mg + Cl2 → MgCl2 obeys the law of conservation of mass since the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the reaction.

Which of the following has the largest atomic radius: F-, F, CL-, or CL?

Anna007 [38]

As you go down the table, more electron shells are added to make the radius larger, but as you go to the right, the protons' attraction increases so the radius actually shrinks. Therefore, according to the trend, Cl has a larger radius because it is lower in the table.

Answer: CL has a larger Atomic Radius.

Propose the structure of the following HNMR data.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

1-Chloropropane is likely the answer (attached a picture)

Explanation:

First off there are 3 peaks and 3 carbons which indicates to me that this will be a chain without any symmetry and that each carbon has hydrogens on it.

Second the triplet at 1.0 that integrates to 3 likely correlates to a CH3 (methyl) group. Peaks are very upfield triplets that integrate to three are almost always methyl peaks.

Third the triplet at 3.7 is indicative of being next to the halogen. Hydrocarbons by themselves do not have peaks that far downfield meaning that its shift could only be explained by the chlorine being involved. Also we know that this can't be next to the methyl group since its multiplicity is to low to be next to it.

That leaves the multiplet at 1.75 being the hydrogens on the middle carbon which also makes sense since it is more downfield then the methyl group (due to being closer to the chlorine) but is not far enough downfield to say the chlorine is there. It also makes sense that it is a multiple since it would be a hextet due to the adjacent 5 hydrogens which can't always be resolved.

I hope this helps and let me know if anything is unclear or needs further explanation.

Light and sound aren't matter because Photons have no mass.

alexira [117]

Answer:

They use hypotheses to guess a result based on what they already know. Observations are used to record the results of an experiment. Predictions are used to have an expected outcome of a test, thinking the hypothesis is correct. Experiments are used to test the hypothesis.
