Answer:

It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects

1. Is O2 a compound? Explain.

zhuklara [117]

1. O2 is not a compound because it only contains one or more type of the same element atom.
2. O2 is a molecule because a molecule is one or more of the same element atom.
3. The law of conversion is that the mass of the system will stay the same when transfer takes place. Like if you had an equation O+H2—> H2O the mass will remain the same.

4. It will be equal to 10 because of law of conservation of matter.

5. One observation can be that the compound, reaction you’re observing, has change states.

Write a molecular equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when the following solutions are mixed. If no rea

iragen [17]

Answer :

(A) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)$

(B) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

(C) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)$

(D) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Explanation :

Molecular equation : It is defined as a balanced chemical equation where the ionic compounds are expressed in the form of molecules rather than component of ions.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Part A : potassium carbonate and lead(II) nitrate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)$

In this reaction, lead carbonate is an insoluble salt and potassium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part B : lithium sulfate and lead(II) acetate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

In this reaction, lead sulfate is an insoluble salt and lithium acetate is a soluble solution.

Part C : copper(II) nitrate and sodium sulfide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)$

In this reaction, Cuprous sulfide is an insoluble salt and sodium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part D : strontium nitrate and potassium iodide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+SrI_2(aq)$

In this reaction, strontium iodide and potassium nitrate are soluble solution.

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$
