2. Why does a chemical equation need to be balanced?

Chemistry
1 answer:
arlik [135]3 years ago
7 0

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Chemical equations must be balanced to satisfy the law of conservation of matter, that states that matter cannot be produced or destroyed in a closed system. The law of conservation of mass governs the balancing of a chemical equation.</em>

Answer:

3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules arsenic (III) oxide (As₂O₃), you need to (1) convert kg to lbs, then (2) convert g As₂O₃ to moles As₂O₃ (via molar mass), and then (3) convert moles to molecules (via Avogadro's number).

1 kilogram = 2.2 lb

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 2(74.992 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 197.978 g/mol

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

0.0146 g As₂O₃            1 kg                  189 lb
------------------------  x  ---------------  x  ------------------  x   ................
         1 kg                     2.2 lb          

       1 mole                6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------  x  ---------------------------------------  = 3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃
      197.978 g                        1 mole

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?
babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
  • An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
  • <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

what is a major drawback of using fossil fuels they warmn the planet they contain no greenohuse gases
Charra [1.4K]

The major drawback of fossil fuels is that they warm the planet i.e. they cause global warming.

The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a complete combustion reaction is:

                                  Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ENERGY

<h3>Disadvantages of Fossil fuels</h3>

The term "fossil fuels" refers to flammable organic geologic formations, including dead organic matter that has been buried hundreds of feet beneath sediment.

  • Fossil fuel emissions include various oxides, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfate, which cause acid rain and harm the soil's fertility and water quality.
  • Both coal and petroleum burning discharge a significant amount of pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to pollution levels.
  • Gases like carbon dioxide are released through the burning of fossil fuels, which aids in climate change.
