Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.

(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.

(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:

2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

(c)  The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:

Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)

(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:

  • 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
  • 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
  • 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)

How does burning affect an object's property? Burning can cause an object to increase in volume. Burning changes the chemical ma
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: Burning changes the chemical make up of an object.

Explanation:

A chemical change can be defined as a change in the substance when it combines with other kind of substance to form a new substance. A chemical change can also occur when a substance is broken down into two or more products. These changes cannot be reversed. These changes affect the physical make up of an object. For example, burning as when an object is burned it cannot be transformed into its original form. A wood if burned can be converted into ash, water and carbon dioxide cannot regain its original form after burning so burning brings about chemical change in an object.

Herbie left his house at 3:30 p.m. and arrived at Kit’s house at 5:00 p.m. The two boys live 7 miles apart. What was Herbie’s av
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose they take t minutes to meet each other.

Distance covered by first friend in t minutes, = 0.2 *t=0.2∗t

Distance covered by second friend in t minutes , =0.15 *t=0.15∗t

Total distance is given as 7, so

0.2 t + 0.15 t = 70.2t+0.15t=7

0.35 t = 70.35t=7

t = 20t=20

means after 20minutes they will meet.

SO. the average speed is 10m: Answer
