Answer:

C. Two small, plastic balls attached to a larger plastic ball by toothpicks

Explanation:

One molecule of water has 1 oxygen atom and two atoms of hydrogen. Each hydrogen is attached to the oxygen by a simple bond, they share one pair of electron.

Because oxygen is larger than hydrogen, a manner to represent a single molecule is to have two small plastic balls (representing hydrogen) attached to a larger plastic ball (representing oxygen) by toothpicks (representing the bonds), such as the image below.

What's a word equation
Yuri [45]
A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>

What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

Allisa [31]

Explanation:

(1).  It is known that in a reaction equation, reactants are placed or written on left hand side and products are written on the right hand side.

For example, N_{2} + 3H_{2} \rightarrow 2NH_{3}

Hence, in a reaction equation you start with the reactants and end up with the products.

(2).  The number of atoms in a reaction will remain the same because according to the law of conservation of mass, mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of products.

Therefore, number of atoms on the reactant side will be equal to the number of atoms on product side.

A chemistry student weighs out 0.027 kg of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 550. mL of distilled water at 30.° C. Afte
QveST [7]

Answer:

1. Yes

2.The solubility of X is 34.55g/L

Explanation:

Solubility of  solute refers to how readily a solute will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature. Its the amount of moles or grams required to saturate 1dm^{3} or 1 Litre of water.

From the problem, when the liquid was drained off and amount of X which didn't dissolve was measured, it weighed 0.008kg, this means out of 0.027kg, 0.027-0.008 actually dissolved

= 0.019kg*1000 = 19g.

if 19g is required to saturate 550mL at 30°C,

then\frac{19*1000}{550} will saturate 1L

= 34.545g  will saturate 1Litre

The solubility thus is 34.55g/L
