What helps me to balance equations is to list the elements i have on each side of the equation, and use tally marks to see what I have and don't have. Then when I'm done balancing, I tally again to make sure everything matches up.
On the left side, you have 1 Al, and 2 O. On the right side, 1 Al and 3 O.
In order for the equation to balance, you need to place a 2 in front of the AlO on the right side. This would make the Al have 2 atoms and the O have six. On the left side, you need to place a 2 in front of the Al and a 3 in front of the O, making it six. Left side: 2 Al's 6 O's. Right side: 2 Al's and 6 O's. Matches!
A defining feature of a material that is a good insulator would be its ability to stop or cancel an electric charge of another material. This happens because the molecules in the material are stable and there are no free electrons that would allow the charges to flow.
Answer:
D. The electrochemical reaction of the battery must be reversible.
Explanation:
The batteries are based on the production of an electric flux given by a<u> redox reaction</u>. This reaction is <u>spontaneous</u> and is<u> thermodynamically favored</u>.
Thus, when the reactants to the reaction are finished, the flow of current stops and ends. Therefore, when current is administered from another source, the reaction <u>changes its direction</u> and reagents that were previously consumed begin to occur. Therefore the condition for it to be <u>rechargeable</u> is that the reaction can go <u>forward or backward</u>, that is, it is <u>reversible</u>.
