Match the following reactions with the reaction type. You may use each type more than once.

Answer:

1) Decomposition

2)Double-replacement reaction

3)synthesis

4)Double-replacement reaction

5)single-replacement reaction

6)Double-replacement reaction

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Synthesis: This is a reaction where two or more reactants will combine to form a new, single product. This is occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. This can be shown with the following equation.

A + B → C

A and B are the reactants to form a new product C

Decomposition: This is a reaction where 1 (more complex) compound will be broken down into 2 or more (more simple) products.

This can be shown by the following equation:

AB → A + B

A single replacement: This is a reaction where one element wil be replaced by another element in the same compound. This can be shown by the following equation:

A + BC → B + AC

Here is the elemnt B in the compound BC, replaced by the element A, to form a new compound AC

A double-replacement: This is a reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds will be exchanged and 2 new compounds willbe formed. This can be shown by the following equation:

AB+CD→AD+BC

A combustion reaction requires oxygen gas (O2) to produce the products CO2 and H2O

Step 2:

1) 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

⇒ Decomposition

2) KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

3) 2Na(s) + H2(g) → 2NaH(s)

⇒ synthesis

4) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2HNO2(aq) → Mg(NO2)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

5) Ca(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

⇒ Single-replacement reaction

6) Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

The atom with the same number of neutrons as 12C is 9Be. 11B. 13C. 14N.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer : The atom with the same number of neutrons as $^{12}C$ is, $^{11}B$

Explanation :

The given atom is, $^{12}C$

Atomic mass number = 12

Atomic number = 6

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 12 - 6 = 6

Now we have to determine the number of neutrons in the given options.

In atom, $^{9}Be$

Atomic mass number = 9

Atomic number = 4

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 4

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 9 - 4 = 5

In atom, $^{11}B$

Atomic mass number = 11

Atomic number = 5

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 5

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 11 - 5 = 6

In atom, $^{13}C$

Atomic mass number = 13

Atomic number = 6

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 13 - 6 = 7

In atom, $^{14}N$

Atomic mass number = 14

Atomic number = 7

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 7

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 14 - 7 = 7

Therefore, the atom with the same number of neutrons as $^{12}C$ is, $^{11}B$

When an aluminum cube of edge 0.100 m and temperature T0= 5.00°C is submerged in a bucket of water, the level of the water rises

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

5.52cm³ of water will rise and might spill over the edge

Explanation:

Use the change in volume of a liquid with changing temperature equation which is written as

ΔV = β x V₀ x ΔT, where β is the coefficient of expansion, V₀ is the volume being submerged and ΔT is the difference in temperature

ΔV = (69 x 10⁻⁶) x (0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1) x (85 - 5)

ΔV = 5.52 x 10⁻⁶ m³

ΔV = 5.52cm³

Why mango becomes yellow when ripe

andrew-mc [135]

Mangoes contain beta carotene, which lends their interiors a beautiful yellow hue. Beta carotene is a phytochemical. Mangoes are packed with carotenoids, which are produced using phytoene. The phytoene leads to an integration of orange-yellow carotenoids, thereby turning mangoes yellow.
