The answer is a compound.
Hope this helps
I'm taking the same quiz. The answer is column
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The energy to turn the ice into water:</em>
- The energy that is required to change the state of ice into a liquid is obtained in the form of heat energy from the ambient temperature of the warm room.
- Once this heat energy is absorbed, the individual molecules of ice gain kinetic energy and start vibrating faster.
- Yet, the temperature of the ice remains constant until the ice reaches its melting point because this energy is first utilised to break all the bonds of the lattice structure of the ice.
- After all the bonds are broken and all of the ice has changed into water, if more heat is provided again, then the temperature of the water will increase.
The reaction is not balanced
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
2Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
Required
The number of atoms
Solution
In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms in the compound that reacts (the reactants and products) will have the same number
Reactants : Fe(s)+O₂(g)
Fe = 2 atoms
O = 3 x 2 = 6 atoms
Products : Fe₂O₃(s)
Fe = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms
O = 2 x 3 = 6 atoms
The reaction is not balanced because the number of Fe atoms is not the same
The balanced reaction should be:
4Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
