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.

Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C, and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g . A canister is
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>294400 cal The heating of the water will have 3 phases 1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C 2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise 3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase. We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion. 80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C 420 * 100 = 42000 cal Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away. 420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal So the total number of cal used is 25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal</span>

What kind of reaction occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid? what kind of reaction occurs wh
My name is Ann [436]

The kind of reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid is a precipitation reaction.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>
  • The chemical reaction between Ba(OH)2(aq) and H2SO4(aq) is given by;

Ba(OH)₂(aq) + H₂SO4(aq) --> BaSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

  • This is a type of precipitation reaction, where a precipitate is formed after the reaction, that is Barium sulfate.
<h3>Other types of reaction</h3><h3>Neutralization reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve reacting acids and bases or alkali to form salt and water as the only products.
  • For example a reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.

NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

<h3>Displacement reactions</h3>
  • These are reactions in which a more reactive atom or ion displaces a less reactive ion from its salt.

Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

<h3>Redox reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve both reduction and oxidation occuring simultaneously durin a chemical reaction.
  • For example,

Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

  • Magnesium atom undergoes oxidation while copper ions undergoes reduction.
<h3>Decomposition reactions</h3>
  • These are type of reactions that involves breakdown of a compound into its constituents elements.
  • For example decomposition of lead nitrate.

Pb(NO3)2(S) → PbO(s) + O2(g) + NO2(g)

What is the volume, in liters, of 0.500 mol of c3h8 gas at stp? (hint..use avogadro’s principle to solve this)?
wolverine [178]
When we are at STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol= 22.4 L

0.500 mol C₃H₈ (22.4 L/ 1 mol)= 11.2 L
