Which of these is a product of photosynthesis and a requirement

a chemist studies two forms of refined gasoline. which of the following branches of chemistry might the chemist us?

valentinak56 [21]

The branch of chemistry that the chemist might use will be the branch of <em>organic chemistry</em>. This is because gasoline is an organic compound. We can say that a compound is organic if it contains a carbon atom. Gasoline is composed of long chains of alkanes (hydrocarbons with single bonds) ranging from 4 carbon atoms to 12 carbon atoms.

Write balanced chemical equation for the reactions used to prepare each of the following compounds from the given starting mater

creativ13 [48]

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the one that contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

Whereas a chemical reaction that brings change in oxidation state of the reacting species is known as a redox reaction.

When there occurs decrease in oxidation number of an element then it shows the element has been reduced. And, if there occurs an increase in oxidation state of an element then it means the element has been oxidized.

(a) The reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia will be as follows.

$N_{2} + 3H_{2} \rightarrow 2NH_{3}$

So here, oxidation state of nitrogen is changing from 0 to -3. Whereas oxidation state of hydrogen is changing from 0 to +3.

Reaction between ammonia and nitric acid will be as follows.

$NH_{3} + HNO_{3} \rightarrow NH_{4}NO_{3}$

Since, it is a combination reaction. Therefore, no change in oxidation state of reacting species is taking place.

(b) Reaction for conversion of liquid bromine to hydrogen bromide is as follows.

$H_{2}(g) + Br_{2}(l) \rightarrow 2HBr(g)$

Here, oxidation state of hydrogen is changing from 0 to +1. Therefore, oxidation of hydrogen is taking place. On the other hand, oxidation state of bromine is changing from zero to -1. Therefore, reduction of bromine is taking place.

(c) Reaction between Zn and S will be as follows.

$Zn(s) + S(s) \rightarrow ZnS(s)$

Here, oxidation state of zinc is changing from 0 to +2. Hence, oxidation of zinc is taking place.

Oxidation state of sulfur is changing from 0 to -2. Therefore, reduction of sulfur is taking place.

Why is a system for naming compounds necessary?

Lostsunrise [7]

It is necessary to make a logical system for naming compounds because there are so many of them and thinking of arbitrary random names for each one and then later remembering them all would be impossible. Also, they need to be all recognized and standardized for global use so as to have everyone use the same system.

What are the typical properties of covalent substances ?

Lelu [443]

Covalent compounds are compounds that share electrons. They tend to have properties like lower melting points and lower conductivity.
