Answer:
The same amount of atoms (3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms).
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction takes place there is no synthesis or degradation of matter, that is, <em>matter can be neither created nor destroyed</em>. It can only be transformed.
Therefore, in a <u>chemical reaction the atoms are conserved</u>. That means that the elements that in definite proportions are forming a compound, will reorganize to form new compounds, and <u>the amount and type of atoms of the products will be the same as the reactants</u>.
In summary, if the reactants in a chemical equation have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms, the products of the chemical equation will have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms as well.
If we consider a combustion reaction of Methane:
The balanced equation is:
CH4 + 2O2 ---> 2H2O + CO2
The rate of appearance of H2O is rH2O, rate of disappearance of O2 is -rO2
(rH2O)^2 = (-rO2)^2
rH2O = -rO2
The answers this question is A.
Answer:
54
Explanation:
Given symbol of the element:
I⁻
Number of electrons found in an ion with the symbol:
This is a iodine ion:
For an atom of iodine:
Electrons = 53
Protons = 53
Neutrons = 74
An ion of iodine is one that has lost or gained electrons.
For this one, we have a negatively charged ion which implies that the number of electrons is 1 more than that of the protons.
So, number of electrons = 53 + 1 = 54
The number of electrons in this ion is 54
