Answer:  The missing coefficient is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2NaOH+Ca(OH)_2+2Cl_2\rightarrow Ca(OCl)_2+2NaCl+2H_2O

As in the products, there are 2 atoms of sodium, thus there will be 2 atoms of  of sodium in the reactant as well.  This will balance the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms as well.

Thus the missing coefficient is 2.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 8.75 grams of sodium chloride in enough volume of water to produce 112.0 grams of the NaCl
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer : The percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of NaCl = 8.75 g

Mass of solution = 112.0 g

Now we have to determine the percent by mass of the solution.

\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent}=\frac{8.75g}{112.0g}\times 100=7.81\%

Therefore, the percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

A meteor falls toward Earth's surface. Given that the acceleration due to
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

E = 147000  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of meteor, m = 50 kg

The altitude of the meteor, h = 300 m

We need to find the potential energy of the meteor. The formula for the potential energy is given by :

E=mgh

Put all the values,

E=50\times 9.8\times 300\\\\E=147000\ J

So, the required potential energy is equal to 147000  J.

What happens when an electron in its lowest energy level or ground state when it is by absorbs energy?
tester [92]

Explanation:

atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. In the reverse process, emission, the electron returns to the ground state by releasing the extra energy it absorbed

What class of enzyme catalyzes addition of oxygen?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The answer is Lyase

Explanation:

Any enzyme that catalyzes the addition or removal of the elements water (hydrogen, oxygen), ammonia (nitrogen, hydrogen), or carbon dioxide (carbon, oxygen) at double bonds, as defined in physiology. Decarboxylases, for example, remove carbon dioxide from amino acids, while dehydrases eliminate water.
