Answer:

Option C. Decomposition

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, it is important we know what is a single displacement reaction, double displacement reaction and decomposition reaction.

A Single displacement reaction can be defined as a reaction in which a single element is replaced by another element in a compound.

A double displacement reaction is a reaction involving the exchange of ions of two parts of ionic compounds to form two different compounds.

A decomposition reaction is a reaction in which a compound splits into two or more simpler compound or element.

Bearing the above definitions in mind and considering the question given above, we can conclude that the reaction given in the question above is a decomposition reaction since the compound (NH₄OH) splits into two different compound (NH₃ and H₂O)

What are equation for the chemical change that produces water from two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. And the react

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

h2+O ---> H2O

reactants: H2 & O

products: H2O

Explanation:

The simple reaction that produces a water molecule from H2 and O would be the one written above, even though there are 2 hydrogen molecules, they will form an H2 molecule rather than 2 individual H molecules (almost never seen) the reactants would be your hydrogen and oxygen molecules individually before they bond to form a molecule of water (H2O) which is the product

A sample of oxalic acid (a diprotic acid of the formula H2C2O4) is dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. A 100.0

OleMash [197]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of original oxalic acid sample is 6.75 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $H_2C_2O_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=2\\M_1=?M\\V_1=100.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.750M\\V_2=20.0mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2\times M_1\times 100.0=1\times 0.750\times 20.0\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.750\times 20.0}{2\times 100.0}=0.075M$

To calculate the mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Given mass of oxalic acid = ? g

Molar mass of oxalic acid = 90 g/mol

Molarity of solution = 0.075 M

Volume of solution = 1.00 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.075M=\frac{\text{Mass of oxalic acid}}{90g/mol\times 1L}\\\\\text{Mass of oxalic acid}=(0.075\times 90\times 1)=6.75g$

Hence, the mass of original oxalic acid sample is 6.75 grams

What is the process of grouping similar things together

andre [41]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Mathematically, this means to combine like terms, such as terms with the same variable. In chemistry, this can refer to polar objects combining with polar objects while nonpolar objects combine with nonpolar objects.

What path does water take as it collects salt while flowing to the ocean?

vichka [17]

Answer:Ocean water is constantly moving, and not only in the form of waves and tides. Ocean currents flow like vast rivers, sweeping along predictable paths. Some ocean currents flow at the surface; others flow deep within water. Some currents flow for short distances; others cross entire ocean basins and even circle the globe.

By moving heat from the equator toward the poles, ocean currents play an important role in controlling the climate. Ocean currents are also critically important to sea life. They carry nutrients and food to organisms that live permanently attached in one place, and carry reproductive cells and ocean life to new places.

When salt is added to water, the entropy, S,

Dovator [93]

Answer:

C. number of particles

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of disorderliness of a system. Remember that when you dissolve salt in water, you increase the number of particles in the solution. The greater the number of particles in solution, the greater the entropy of the solution system.

Hence dissolution of a salt in water increases the entropy by increasing the number of particles in solution leading to the inequality; Ssolution > Swater + Ssalt.
