What is the Lewis structure for H2Se

1 answer:

6 0

Basically since there’s 2 hydrogen’s there will be two H’s on either side of your other element. And Se is in group 6 which means it has 6 valence electrons. When you combine 6 and 2 from the hydrogen you get 8. You then should place 8 dots around Se two on each side.

So something like H Se(with 8 dogs around it) H

What physical change happens to atoms and molecules in a solution that is strongly heated in a flame? Is there a phase change? I

Charra [1.4K]

When atoms and molecules speed up or slow down, that is a physical change. When they change state from liquid to solid or from gas to liquid, that is a physical change. ... The ions or molecules can still come back together to form the original substance

4.Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product

Anastaziya [24]

Explanation:

4. limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

How are the following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst? 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

snow_tiger [21]

These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

b. decreased

Explanation:

Activarion energy is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

Catalysts are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the forward and the reverese reactions, occur simultaneously and at the same rate. The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, the addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased (option b. of the first question)

2. The rate of the forward reaction is increased (option a. of the second question)

3. The rate of the reverse reaction is increased (option a. of the third question).

4. Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.

After wood burns, the ash weighs much less than the original wood. explain why the law of conservation of mass is not violated i

Annette [7]

When wood burns it makes 1 ash and 2 CO and so law of conversation matter wouldn't be violated as the ash + the smoke each would have a fraction of the original matter from the wood

What is the volume of 35.0 g of propylene glycol if the density of propylene glycol is 1.036 g/ cm3?

Len [333]

Mass = 35.0 g

density = 1.036 g/cm³

volume = ?

therefore:

D = m / V

1.036 = 35.0 / V

V = 35.0 / 1.036

V = 33.784 cm³

answer D
