When a carbon is bonded to more than two other carbons, a branch is formed. The smallest branched alkane is isobutane. Notice that isobutane has the same molecular formula, C4H10, as n-butane but has a different structural formula. Two different molecules which have the same molecular formula are isomers.
Answer:
A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ exothermic
B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) exothermic
C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) endothermic
D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) exothermic
Explanation:
The question says predict not calculate. So you have to use your chemistry knowledge, experience and intuition.
A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ is exothermic because the Haber process gives out energy
B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) is exothermic because it is a combustion. The majority, if not all, combustion give out energy.
C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) is endothermic because it is the reverse reaction of the combustion of hydrogen. If the reverse reaction is exothermic then the forward reaction is endothermic
D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) is exothermic because the backward reaction is endothermic. Atomisation is always an endothermic reaction so the forward reaction is exothermic
Answer:
1. 2+ (
).
2. 0 (
).
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the described chemical reaction is a redox reaction in fact, since the oxidation states of both magnesium and copper change as shown due to the displacement:
Therefore:
1. Since copper is the cation in the copper (II) nitrate, the (II) means that its charge is 2+ ().
2. Since copper is alone, it means no electrons are being neither shared not given, its charge is 0 ().
Best regards.
Add 4H2 in the reactant side, that will give you 4H2O in the product side.
