Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.
(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.
(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:
2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
(c) The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:
Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)
(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:
- 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
- 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
- 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
Increased upwelling in a coastal area results to more aquatic life. Upwelling is the process in which deep, cold water rises towards the surface. It is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind driven motion of the dense, cooler and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface replacing the warmer usually nutrient depleted surface water.
It required a fixed finite amount these zones are known as energy levels
Energy is released by the formation of chemical bonds, and energy is
absorbed when the bonds are broken.
<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>
A chemical reaction involves the formation of new compounds from
reactants . It involves the formation and breaking of bonds in the
elements.
Energy is released by the formation of chemical bonds and this type of
reaction is referred to as exothermic while energy is absorbed when the
bonds are broken and is referred to as an endothermic reaction.
