Explain why the coefficients on the left side of the equation don’t necessarily equal the coefficients on the right side of the

equation. Is this possible if mass is being conserved?

Answer:

Explanation:

Short answer: Yes.

The coefficients may not be conserved, but mass always has to be. Take this equation as an example

2 Mg3P2 ===>   6Mg + P4

There is a 2 on the left side and 6 and 1 on the right. I hope you mean that the coefficient 2 is not equal to 7.

But let's look a little closer. You have to look at the molecular structure of the left and right side.

2Mg3P2 has 6 Mgs and 4 Ps on the left side.

6Mg is on the right. They are free standing.

P4    has 1 molecule consisting of 4 Ps.

Everything balances.

This is a terrific question to be asking. You need to understand the internal balance numbers vs the molecular ones on the out side.

That sounds like a bit of gobbledygook and it takes a bit of study.

2 Mg3P2 means that Mg3P2 is written twice.

Mg3P2 ==> "3 Mg2+   +  2P3+   and there is another one written the same way.

Mg3P2 ==> "3 Mg2+   +  2P3+

How many milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution would be needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of ben
Nuetrik [128]

Here is the complete question.

Benzalkonium Chloride Solution ------------> 250ml

Make solution such that when 10ml is diluted to a total volume of 1 liter a 1:200 is produced.

Sig: Dilute 10ml to a liter and apply to affected area twice daily

How many milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution would be needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride?

(A) 1700 mL

(B) 29.4 mL

(C) 17 mL

(D) 294 mL

Answer:

(B) 29.4 mL

Explanation:

1 L  =   1000 mL

1:200 solution implies the \frac{weight}{volume} in 200 mL solution.

200 mL of solution = 1g of Benzalkonium chloride

1000 mL will be \frac{1000mL}{200mL}=\frac{1g}{xg}

200mL × 1g = 1000 mL × x(g)

x(g) = \frac{200mL*1g}{1000mL}

x(g) = 0.2 g

That is to say, 0.2 g of benzalkonium chloride in 1000mL of diluted solution of 1;200 is also the amount in 10mL of the stock solution to be prepared.

∴ \frac{10mL}{250mL}=\frac{0.2g}{y(g)}

y(g) = \frac{250mL*0.2g}{10mL}

y(g) = 5g of benzalkonium chloride.

Now, at 17% \frac{weight}{volume} concentrate contains 17g/100ml:

∴  the number of milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution that is needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride will be;

= \frac{17g}{5g} = \frac{100mL}{z(mL)}

z(mL) = \frac{100mL*5g}{17g}

z(mL) = 29.41176 mL

≅ 29.4 mL

Therefore, there are 29.4 mL of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution that is required to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride

The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing. true or false
qaws [65]

Answer:

Increasing atomic number - True

Explanation:

The modern table is based on Mendeleev’s table, except the modern table arranges the elements by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass.

The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this number is unique for each element. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Calcium has an atomic number of 20.

In the modern periodic table the elements are further arranged into:

- rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number. Elements in the same periods have the same number of shells.

- vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties. Elements in the same group has the same number of valency (outermost number of electrons)

In the reaction mg 2hcl right arrow. mgcl2 h2 which element’s oxidation number does not change? cl mg h
netineya [11]

The correct answer is Cl.

Chlorine is a substance that's employed in industry and is present in a number of household goods. There are times when chlorine takes the form of toxic gas. Chlorine gas can be converted into a liquid by applying pressure and cooling so that it can be transported and stored. The term "oxidation number" refers to the number of electrons that an element's atom either loses or gains during the production of a compound. The charge that an atom seems to have when forming ionic connections with other heteroatoms is used to define an atom's oxidation number. Even if it develops a covalent bond, an atom with a higher electronegativity is given a negative oxidation state.

What happens to a glass of water as the average molecular kinetic energy of the water molecules increases?
trasher [3.6K]
"The water becomes warmer."
<u>Remember</u>: Kinetic energy means how much, on average, a molecule is moving around. This is directly translated into heat. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the more heat produced.
