The carbon element in wood reacts to the oxygen so it creates, energy as we all know as light and heat, ashes, and smoke. Hope this helps!

It is a chemical change in wood because a chemical change is when some object is being changed. So when fire burns on wood it changes how the wood is. The wood goes from whole to ash dust. Hope I could help. ;-)

Identify the correct mole ratio for each substance. Sodium chloride (NaCl) Na:Cl = 1: Ammonium nitrate (NHNO) H:O = 4:

Norma-Jean [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The mole ratio of H : O in ammonium nitrate is 4 : 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a compound named ammonium nitrate having formula $NH_4NO_3$

There are 3 elements in this compound which are nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.

To calculate the mole ratio, we write the ratio of their subscripts. For this compound, it is:

$N:H:O::2:4:3$

The mole ratio of H and O for this compound is 4 : 3.

4. Why can't the subscripts be changed in a chemical equation in chemistry

neonofarm [45]

If you change the subscripts it would change the reactants or products and then you would be solving a different formula, you would change what the chemical is

For the reaction N2O4(g) ⇋ 2NO2(g), Kc = 0.25 at 98°C. At a point during the reaction, the concentration of N2O4 = 0.50 M and th

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Q = 0.50

Left

Explanation:

At a generic reversible equation

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:

$Q = \frac{[C]^c*[D]^d}{[A]^a*[B]^b}$

Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.

When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.

In this case:

Q = $\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$

$Q = \frac{0.50^2}{0.50}$

Q = 0.50

So, Q > Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium and it progresses to the left.
