Answer:
1. What is the coefficient for calcium in the balanced equation?
2 Ca + 5 NaOH → 4 Na + 2 Ca(OH)2
2. The burning of 20.0 g of acetylene (C2H2) produces what mass of carbon dioxide? You must
write the equation, balance it and solve the mass-mass problem.
a. Balanced equation:
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
Explanation:
Answer:
All around you there are chemical reactions taking place. Green plants are photosynthesising, car engines are relying on the reaction between petrol and air and your body is performing many complex reactions. In this chapter we will look at two common types of reactions that can occur in the world around you and in the chemistry laboratory. These two types of reactions are acid-base reactions and redox reactions.
Explanation:
D. Potential is not moving, while kinetic is moving.
Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
