When you work with molar mass, you solve for the quantity of ''Moles'' within the substance by converting Mass. The way you can tell the equation is balanced would be by knowing whether the moles were equivalent on both sides or not. Therefore, if they are equal, it is balanced considering you have the same amount of moles on each side of the equation.

Explanation :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactant must be equal to the mass of product. That means mass remains conserved.

Based on the molar masses, we can tell that an equation is balanced or not.

If the sum of the molar mass of reactant side will be equal to the sum of the molar mass of product side then we can tell that an equation is balanced otherwise an equation is not balanced.

For example : 2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2

Now we have to check that this reaction is balanced or not.

As per law of conservation of mass,

Sum of molar mass of reactant = Sum of molar mass of product

2Na+2H_2O=2NaOH+H_2

The molar mass of sodium(Na), hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O) are 23, 1 and 16 g/mole respectively.

2(23)+2(2\times 1+16)=2(23+16+1)+2(1)

82=82

The mass of reactant side is equal to the product side that means this equation is balanced.

1. Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. We can use the periodic table to predict ionizatio
just olya [345]

Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron

As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.

It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons

Rubidium group 1, 1 valence electrons very reactive

Mg2,2 very reactive

Al 3, 3 reactive

How is the Law of Conservation of Mass, Matter, Phases of Matter, and Physical/Chemical Changes similar/connected to one another
kogti [31]

Answer:

Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don't move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid.

Make notes on why did the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decrease?​
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is a very soluble gas. It dissolves readily in water. As the oceans formed, carbon dioxide dissolved to form soluble carbonate compounds so its amount in the atmosphere decreased. Carbonate compounds were then precipitated as sedimentary rocks, eg limestone.

Uptake by living organisms

Carbon dioxide was also absorbed from the oceans into photosynthetic algae and plants. Many of these organisms, and the simple organisms in the food chains that they supported were turned into fossil fuels, eg crude oil, coal and natural gas, which all contain carbon.

Coal is a fossil fuel which was formed from trees which were in dense forests in low-lying wetland areas. Flooding caused the wood from these forests to be buried in a way that prevented oxidation taking place. Compression and heating over millions of years turned the wood into coal.

Crude oil and natural gas were formed from simple plants and tiny animals which were living in oceans and lakes. These small organisms died and their remains sank to the bottom where they were buried under sediments. The lack of oxygen prevented oxidation from occurring.

Over millions of years, heat and pressure turned the remains of the organisms into crude oil and natural gas. Natural gas contains the smallest molecules and is often found on top of crude oil, trapped under sedimentary rock.
