The correct option is D.

Nowadays, scientists classified substances into four states of matter, which are: solid, liquid, gases and plasma. Plasma are hot ionized gas that is made up of equal number of positively and negatively charged ions. The ions in the plasma have very high kinetic energy which allow them to move around at high speed. Plasma is typically produce by heating gases to very high temperature.

Which equation represents a conservation of atoms? Group of answer choices LaTeX: 4Fe\:+3O_2\:\longrightarrow\:2Fe_2O_3 4 F e +

slamgirl [31]

Answer : The equation represents a conservation of atoms is:

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation :

Law of conservation of matter : It states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

The balanced chemical reaction always follow the law of conservation of matter.

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

(1) The given chemical reaction is,

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

This reaction is a balanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of iron and oxygen are equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction obey the law of conservation of matter.

(2) The given chemical reaction is,

$2Fe+2O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of iron and oxygen are not equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction does not obey the law of conservation of matter.

(3) The given chemical reaction is,

$4Fe+2O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of oxygen are not equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction does not obey the law of conservation of matter.

Hence, the equation represents a conservation of atoms is:

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ethanol is completely miscible due to presence of Hydrogen bonding.

Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to absence of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.
