Answer: Chemical change

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as the change in which a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

A chemical change is defined as the change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Thus when fat comes in contact with sodium hydroxide to produce soap and glycerin, it is termed as a chemical change.

Which mass of urea CO(NH2)2 contain the same mass of nitrogen as 101.1g of potassium nitrate?
Sliva [168]
M(KNO₃)=101.1 g/mol
M(CO(NH₂)₂)=60.1 g/mol

m(N)=M(N)m(KNO₃)/M(KNO₃)

m(N)=2M(N)m(CO(NH₂)₂)/M(CO(NH₂)₂)

2m(CO(NH₂)₂)/M(CO(NH₂)₂)=m(KNO₃)/M(KNO₃)

m(CO(NH₂)₂)=M(CO(NH₂)₂)m(KNO₃)/(2M(KNO₃))

m(CO(NH₂)₂)=60.1*101.1/(2*101.1)=30.05 g

If you burn 29.4 g of hydrogen and produce 263 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
vovikov84 [41]

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is given as:

H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O

The balanced reaction is:

2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

According to the balanced reaction,

4 g of hydrogen (4\times 1) reacts with 32 g of oxygen (2\times 16).

So, oxygen reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is:

\frac{29.4\times 32}{4} = 235.2 g

Hence, the mass of oxygen that is reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is 235.2 g.
