Answer:

  • <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

  • Decomposition reactions
  • Synthesis or combination reaction
  • Single replacement reactions
  • Double replacement reactions
  • Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

  • <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

  • <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

  • <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ →  2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

  • <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two  ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).

What is the name of the ability to use up energy in one second
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Work

Explanation:

Work is defined as the ability to use energy in one second and its SI unit is same as energy that is joule.

Work refers to the energy utilized to displace an object over a distance by an external force in one direction and in given time period which can be one second as well.

Hence, the correct answer is "work".

Explain the connection between reactants, products and limiting reactant.
balu736 [363]
In easy words the connection between Reactants, Products and Limiting reactants is as follow,

Reactants and Products:
                                       Reactants are the starting materials for the synthesis of final synthesized materials called as products.

Example:
                 CH₄  +  2 O₂     →      CO₂  +  2 H₂O

In above reaction Methane (CH₄) and Oxygen (O₂) are the reactants while, CO₂ and H₂O are the products.

Reactants, Products and Limiting Reactants:
                                                                       Considering the same example it is seen that for one mole of CO₂ two moles of O₂ are required to completely convert into CO₂ and H₂O. If either of the reactant is taken less than the required amount then it will act as a limiting reactant because it will consume first leaving the second reactant present in excess as compare to it. Hence, we can say that the limiting reactant is the starting material which controls the amount of product being formed.

Explain where the water that collects on the outside of a cold drink on a hot day comes from.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

It is because water molecules in the air condensed on to the container of the drink.

Explanation:

The way this works is the water molecules outside are hot and in the gas state, so when they come into contact with the cold side of the container they lose energy due to heat transfer between the molecules and the container, becoming a liquid on the side of the drink.

Draw the product of nucleophilic substitution with each neutral nucleophile. When the initial substitution product can lose a pr
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Neutral nucleophile are: H2O, CH3OH, NH3, RNH2, R2NH, R3N, RCOOH, RSH and PR3. The products by nucleophilic substitution are diverse depending on the different nucleophiles, obtaining alcohol, eter, amines, ester and tioeter considering only the nucleophiles with a hydrogen available.

Explanation:

Please see the images attached.

Nucleophilic subtitution with water occurs under Sn1 mechanism. That's it because water as nucleophile is so weak.  With the other neutral nucleophiles, the reaction occur under Sn2 mechanism.

RSH + CH3I  -----> RSCH3  +  HI
