Chemistry

Natalija [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: The correct statement is (A new substance is formed and the process can usually NOT be undone.)

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is simply defined as the reaction between two or more elements in which a new substance is formed and the process can usually not be undone. Different types of chemical reaction includes:

-- combination reaction: this occurs when two or more reactants form a product. For example: In the burning of coal, It combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Also in the burning of wood, carbon dioxide is given off and ashes are formed. Because new substance is being formed, they often can't be undone. The ashes formed can't be changed back into wood. Other types of chemical reaction are listed below.

-- Decomposition reaction

-- Single displacement reaction

-- Double displacement reaction

-- combustion reaction

-- Redox reaction

For the product of a chemical reaction to be undone (reversed), it has to undergo another chemical process different from the one that produced it.

What volume (in mililiters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of my at stp
goldenfox [79]

You must use 1880 mL of O₂ to react with 4.03 g Mg.

A_r: 24.305

         2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

<em>Moles of Mg</em> = 4.03 g Mg × (1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg) = 0.1658 mol Mg

<em>Moles of O₂</em> = 0.1658 mol Mg × (1 mol O₂/2 mol Mg) = 0.082 90 mol O₂

STP is 25 °C and 1 bar. At STP, 1 mol of an ideal gas has a volume of <em>22.71 L</em>.

<em>Volume of O₂</em> = 0.082 90 mol O₂ × (22.71 L O₂/1 mol O₂) = 1.88 L = 1880  mL

For the reaction below , label each reactant as an electron pair acceptor or electron pair donor and as a Lewis acid or a Lewis
JulsSmile [24]

Since the reaction shown in the question is an acid - base reaction in the Lewis sense; the Lewis acid here is AlCl3  while the Lewis base here is Cl^- .

<h3>What is  a Lewis acid?</h3>

A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts electron pair while a Lewis base donates an electron pair.

Now consider the given reaction; AlCl3 +Cl^- ------> AlCl 4 ^-. The Lewis acid here is AlCl3  while the Lewis base here is Cl^- .
