Answer:

Coefficient

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

aA + bB    →   dD

This equation shows that reaction is balanced by coefficient q,b and d.

Reactant    coefficients              Product      Coefficient

A                    a                               D                     d

 B                    b                  

Every balanced equation follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass. The numbers 6 with CO₂, 6 with H₂O and 6 with O₂  are coefficient which balance the equation.

Describe what the greenhouse effect is and how it is caused on a molecular level.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Solar energy absorbed at Earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it. Why do greenhouse gases absorb heat? Greenhouse gases are more complex than other gas molecules in the atmosphere, with a structure that can absorb heat. They radiate the heat back to the Earth's surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.

There are several different types of greenhouse gases. The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gas molecules all are made of three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat. Eventually, the vibrating molecules release the radiation, which will likely be absorbed by another greenhouse gas molecule. This process keeps heat near the Earth’s surface. Most of the gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen, which cannot absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Imagine that you are observing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in lab. every time you add more enzyme, the reaction rate increases
tester [92]

Enzymes catalyze the chemical reactions, they act upon the reaction substrates and speed up the reaction. Enzymes have active sites, the places where the reaction substrates interact with the enzyme bringing about the conversion of substrates to products. So, as the enzyme concentration increases the rate of reaction increases till a point where the rate is leveled off. The rate does not further increase, as the substrate might have become limiting at that point. All the available amount of substrate would have been associated with the active sites of the enzymes. So, at that point although there is enough catalyst, lack of substrate would limit the rate of reaction.

When two species A and B form an electron-pair bond and A does not provide its electrons for bonding, the bond present between A
vichka [17]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

If A does not have electron to bond, it just receives one electron from B.

It can´t be covalent because A don´t have any electrons to bond with B.

A gold coin contains 3.47 × 10^23<br> gold atoms.<br> What is the mass of the coin in grams?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Mass = 114.26 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of gold atoms = 3.47×10²³ atoms

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

3.47×10²³ atoms × 1 mol  /6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.58 mol

Mass of gold:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.58 mol × 197 g/mol

Mass = 114.26 g
