Nadya [2.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, but the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products to be a balanced equation.

Example: Consider the following reaction ...

3H₂ + N₂ => 2NH₃ and 'amu' is atomic mass units (formula weights from periodic table)

In terms of molecules, there are 4 molecules on the left (3 molecular hydrogens (H₂) and 1 molecular nitrogen (N₂) and 2 molecules of ammonia on the right side of equation arrow. ∑reactant molecules ≠ ∑product molecules.

In terms of mass of reactants & mass of products, the 3H₂ + N₂ => 6amu + 28amu = 34amu & mass of products (2NH₃) => 2(14amu) + 6(1amu) = 34amu for sum of product masses.

∑mass reactants = ∑mass products <=> 34amu = 34amu.

The expression '∑mass reactants = ∑mass products' as applied to chemical equations is generally known as 'The Law of Mass Balance'.

Why is a thermos considered a (mostly) closed system? Question 3 options: different types of liquids stay hot thermoses come in
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Different types of hot or cold items can be stored in a thermos and power cannot enter or exit the system when the thermos lid is tightly closed

Explanation:

Closed systems are those that do not interact or do not exchange energy with the environment that surrounds them, that is why internal temperatures and conditions are maintained.

The human body is an open system, that is, it would be the opposite of the thermos since we constantly exchange energy with the environment through sweating, emission of gases, urine, feces, and the ingestion of food.

Thermoses are systems specially created to maintain a medium, it will be maintained if its lid is hermetically closed to prevent heat leakage or entry in situations of cold fluids.

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?​
Vinil7 [7]

<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em />

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>

How many moles of copper are there in 6.93 g of copper sample<br>pls be quick​
Alex_Xolod [135]
  • Molar mass of copper=63.5g/mol
  • Given mass=6.93g

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{6.93}{63.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=0.109\approx 1.11moles
