Answer:

The same number of each atom are on both sides of the equation.

The Law of conservation of mass states that matter is neither destroyed nor created in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the mass of the reactants will be equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction. According to the law matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Indicate the number of significant figures in the following measured numbers:

inysia [295]

Answer: a = 2 ; f = 5 ; b = 2 ; g = 2 ; c = 2 ; h = 2 ; d = 4 ; i = 5 ; e = 3 ; j = 7

Explanation: Some rules to follow while calculating sig figs is

1. If a number like 4500 is present, only two sig figs are counted, but none of the zeros are, but if 4500. has a decimal point present, then you should count all the numbers available.

2. If a number like .0005 is present, only count 5 as a sig fig, however if the number is .00050, count the 0 after the 5 in this example (this would then have two sig figs.

4. What is the difference between an open system and a closed system?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Systems can exist in three ways as open systems, closed systems, and isolated systems. The main difference between open and closed system is that in an open system, matter can be exchanged with the surrounding whereas, in a closed system, matter cannot be exchanged with the surrounding.

Which reactions are oxidation-reduction reactions? check all that apply. fes(s) 2hcl(aq) â†’ h2s(g) fecl2(g) agno3(aq) nacl(aq)

Dafna1 [17]

oxidation-reduction reactions are -

2C3H6(g) + 9O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)

For reaction,

2C3H6(g) + 9O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of Carbon = +2

Oxidation state of Oxygen = 0

On product side:

Oxidation state of Carbon = +4

Oxidation state of Oxygen = -2

Here, carbon's oxidation state is rising from +2 to +4. As a result, it is oxidizing and the oxygen's oxidation state is decreasing from 0 to -2. As a result, it is decreasing.

For reaction,

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)

When reacting:

Iron's oxidation state is +3.

Carbon's oxidation state is +2.

On product side:

Iron's oxidation state is zero.

Carbon's oxidation state is +4.

Here, carbon's oxidation state is rising from +2 to +4. As a result, it is being oxidized and the iron's oxidation state is changing from +3 to 0. As a result, it is decreasing.
