When fat comes in contact with sodium hydroxide, it produces soap and glycerin. Determine whether this is a physical change or a

chemical change. Explain your
Chemistry
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Chemical change

Explanation:

Physical change is a change where there is a change in size , shape etc and no new products are formed.

Chemical change is a change where there is a change in chemical composition as new products are formed.

Example: Formation of soap and glycerin from fat and sodium hydroxide is a chemical change as the chemical bonds are getting rearranged to form new products.

How does the molecular formula of a compound differ from the empirical formula? Can a compound’s empirical and molecular formula
Y_Kistochka [10]
Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule

When comparing the two elements K and Ge , the more metallic element is__________ based on periodic trends alone.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Option D and Option B

When comparing the two elements K and Ge , the more metallic element is_____K_____ based on periodic trends alone.

When comparing the two elements Sb and Pb , the more metallic element is_____Pb______ based on periodic

Explanation:

The metallic characteristic increases when we move down a column in a periodic table or when we move left in the row.

Potassium and Germanium are located on the same row, but germanium lies on the right side of potassium. Thus, potassium (K) is more metallic than Germanium (Ge)

While Lead (Pb) lies to left of Sb in the adjacent column and is also lies below Sb. Hence Pb is more metallic than Sb

Is ice melting in a drink a chemical change?
konstantin123 [22]
Nope, it's a physical change. When ice melts it changes into liquid water, it's still water. Changes in which no new substances are formed are physical changes, hence this is a physical change.

For the reaction between solid tetraphosphorus trisulfide and oxygen gas to form solid tetraphosphorus decoxide and sulfur dioxi
Rainbow [258]

1 mole of  reacts with 8 moles of  to form 1 mole of  and 3 moles of

<h3>What is a tetraphosphorus decoxide?</h3>

Tetraphosphorus decoxide, () is a non-metal oxide that gives acidic property when dissolved in water.

The name phosphorus decoxide can be interpreted as 4 phosphorus (P) atoms (‘Tetra’), bonds with 10 oxygen (O) atoms (‘Dec’) in a molecule. besides that, it is also known as phosphorus pentoxide.

It can be prepared by heating pure phosphorus with oxygen in blast furnace.

+  →

It is used as a dehydrating agent due to its week van der Waals dispersion forces. Thus, owing to give exothermic reaction when dissolved in watermore precisely, it is a white crystalline anhydrous (without water molecule) solid.

In granular form it can be also used as desiccant as well.

Why do different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is because they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element but differ only in the number of neutrons in the nucleus, i.e. they have same atomic number but different mass number.

Mass number is affected as they have different number of neutrons, thus effecting their physical properties.

The number of electrons and protons are same, i.e. their atomic number is same and thus their chemical properties are same as chemical properties are determined by the atom’s electronic configuration and that relates to number of protons.
