CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAP PLEASEE ANYBODY LITERALLY ANYONE OUT THERE PLEASE

Why must all chemical equations be balanced?

Lera25 [3.4K]

If the equation is not balanced, you have extra of one substance. If you try to do an experiment, you could wind up with a totally different outcome. Its kind of like baking a cake. If the ingredients aren't the right amounts, you dont get an edible cake.

For which of the following reactions is S° > 0. Choose all that apply. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) 4CO2(g) + 6H2

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

$NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

$2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1. $N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2. $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3. $NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4. $2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5. $2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.

The elements in groups 1a through 7a are

REY [17]

The elements in<span> groups 1a through 7a are called d. representative elements. The periodic table is organized according to increasing order of the atomic number of the elements. Groups have similar properties while the period of the elements determines the valence electrons in the outer shells.</span>

Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

an electron,
a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
an electron antineutrino.

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

$\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number $14 - 1 = 13$ to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number $13$ corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .
