Calcium carbonate contains the carbonate ion. Citric acid is an acid. When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products. Carbon dioxide gas produces the fizzing effect in water.

When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products.

If antacids are dissolved prior to ingestion, the reaction between carbonate and hydrogen is faster.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.
Pavlova-9 [17]
Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...
C7H16+11O2--->7CO2+8H2O

Is this an example of decomposition<br> 2CH4 + 402 → 2C02 + 4H2O
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Identify each equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

Fe2O3 + 3 SO3 → Fe2(SO4)3

NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → Cr2O3 + 4 H2O + N2

Solution

In this equation, two substances combine to make a single substance. This is a composition reaction.

Two different substances react to make two new substances. This does not fit the definition of either a composition reaction or a decomposition reaction, so it is neither. In fact, you may recognize this as a double-replacement reaction.

A single substance reacts to make multiple substances. This is a decomposition reaction.

Test Yourself

Identify the equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

C3H8 → C3H4 + 2 H2

Temperature cloud cover and thunder are all examples of
Umnica [9.8K]

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is
Karolina [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. <u>For Example:</u> In MnO_4^-, manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = [=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
