Answer:

Atoms cannot be divided.

Explanation:

Earlier the following points were proposed for an atom that:

A. Elements are different kinds of atoms. : For example atom of oxygen will be different from atom of carbon.

B. All matter is made up of atoms: it is also true that whatever matter we observe is made up of some atom. Either it is a mixture or pure substance.

C. Atoms cannot be divided: This is not true. Further scientific studies showed that an atom can further be divided into sub atomic particles electrons, neutrons and protons. Thus the idea of indivisibility of an atom changed when new evidence was discovered.

D. Atoms are made up of smaller particles: It is true as atoms are made up of sub atomic particles.

What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, c2h6? in this reaction,

Vitek1552 [10]

Balance equation for combustion of ethane will be:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

To balance the equation:

1. Balance the number of carbon atom on both side:

C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g)--------> CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

1. balance the number of carbon on both side, as in reactant there are 2 but in product one,

so , multiply the CO₂, by 2 in the product.

2. Balance the number of hydrogen on both side as in reactant the number of hydrogen is 3 but in product it is 6 so, multiplythe number of H₂O by 3,

so multiply the number of H₂O by 3 in product.

3. Balance the number of oxygen on both side , as 1 and 2 step increases the number of oxygen and it becomes 7 , so to balance the number of oxygen on both side by mutiplying the number of O₂ by 7/2 in reactant .

4. Now, doubling the equation will give balance equation that is:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

A precipitate forms when mixing solutions of sodium fluoride (NaF) and lead II nitrate (Pb(NO3)2). Complete and balance the net

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular equation shows all the compounds involved in the reaction.

The molecular equation is as follows;

2NaF(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -------> PbF2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

The complete ionic equation shows all the ions involved in the reaction

The complete ionic equation;

2Na^+(aq) + 2F^-(aq) + Pb^2+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq) -------->PbF(s) + 2Na^+(aq) +2NO3^-(aq)

The net Ionic equation shows the ions that actually participated in the reaction

The net ionic equation is;

2F^-(aq) + Pb^2+(aq)--------> PbF(s)

Which of the following expressions is the correct equilibrium-constant expression for the equilibrium between dinitrogen tetroxi

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

D. [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant expression for a reaction is products over reactants. Since NO₂ has a coefficient of 2, it will become an exponent.

So, it would be:

[NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]

Hope that helps.
