Answer:

The coefficient of Z₂ is 1.

Explanation:

From the question given above:

X + ZY —> XY + Z₂

Next, we shall balance the equation to obtain the coefficient of Z₂. This can be obtained as follow:

X + ZY —> XY + Z₂

There is 1 atom of Z on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of ZY as shown below:

X + 2ZY —> XY + Z₂

There are 2 atoms of Y on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of XY as shown below:

X + 2ZY —> 2XY + Z₂

Now, we have 1 atom of X on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of X as shown below:

2X + 2ZY —> 2XY + Z₂

Now the equation is balanced.

Thus, the coefficient of Z₂ is 1.

This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

12. Complete each of the following word equations for synthesis reactions.

Vlada [557]

Explanation:

12)

a) Sodium + oxygen = ?

When sodium reacts oxygen its forms sodium oxide as a product.

$4Na(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2O(s)$

b) magnesium + fluorine = ?

When magnesium reacts with fluorine its forms magnesium fluoride as a product.

$Mg(s)+F_2(g)\rightarrow MgF_2(s)$

13)

a) $2HgO(s)\overset{\Delta }\rightarrow 2Hg(l)+O_2(g)$

Decomposition of mercury(II) oxide on heating gives out mercury and oxygen gas.

b) $2H_2O(l)\overset{Electricity}\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

The electrolytic decomposition of water gives out hydrogen gas amd oxygen gas.

Ammonia is produced by the chemical reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

3.6 mol H₂

Explanation:

N₂ + 2H₂ → 2NH₃

In order to convert from N₂ moles to H₂ moles we need to use a conversion factor. This conversion factor has to have<u> N₂ moles in the denominator and H₂ moles in the numerator</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em> of the reaction, as follows:

1.8 mol N₂ * $\frac{2molH_2}{1molN_2}$ = 3.6 mol H₂
