Answer:

In a chemical reaction, arrows separate reactants from products and points to where the reaction is going. On the other hand, the coefficients detail the amount of the components of the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The way to represent a chemical reaction is through the chemical equation. To write this chemical equation, the following rules must be followed: The reactants are written on the left, and the products on the right, both, separated by an arrow that indicates the direction of the reaction.

The chemical equation must be balanced, leaving the same number of atoms of each of the elements. To balance a chemical reaction, numbers known as coefficients are placed in front of it, showing the relative number of atoms entering a reaction.

The arrows used by chemists means "react to produce" or "yield", such that when two substances react with each other they yield products, represented or shown by an arrow. The coefficients on the other hand, describe the lowest whole number ratio of the amounts of all of the reactants and products.

For the reaction HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + H2O, how many grams of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 mol of nitric acid,
ollegr [7]

Answer:

tha mass of magnesium nitrate is 592g

Explanation:

from a balanced chemical equation

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O

2 mol of nitric acid is equivalent to 1 mol of magnesium nitrate. then 8 mol of nitric acid will be equivalent to 4 mol of magnesium nitrate.

Single and double replacement
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

A single replacement or single displacement reaction is a reaction in which one substance replaces another.

            A  +   BC →   AC + B

The replacement of an ion in solution by a metal higher in the activity series is a special example of this reaction type.

The relative positions of the elements in the activity series provides the driving force for single displacement reactions.

A double replacement reaction is one in which there is an actual exchange of partners between reacting species. This reaction is more common between ionic substances;

              AB + CD → AC + BD

Such reactions are usually driven by;

  • formation of precipitation
  • formation of water and a gaseous product

20<br> How do you solve this ?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

eight oxygen atoms

Explanation:

This formula shows that in one mole of this compound, there are 3 moles of Ca atoms that combine with 2 moles of the PO4(phosphate) groups, which gives a total of 2 moles of P atoms and 8 moles of 0 atoms.
