Answer:

Option D

2Na + Cl₂ —> 2NaCl

Explanation:

We'll begin by stating the law of conservation of matter.

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

For an equation to comply with the law of conservation of matter, the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both side of the equation. This simply means that the equation must be balanced!

NOTE: An unbalanced equation simply means matter has been created or destroyed.

Now, we shall determine which equation is balanced. This can be obtained as follow:

For Option A

Na + Cl₂ —> 2NaCl

Reactant:

Na = 1

Cl = 2

Product:

Na = 2

Cl = 2

Thus, the equation is not balanced!

For Option B

2Na + 2Cl₂ —> 2NaCl

Reactant:

Na = 2

Cl = 4

Product:

Na = 2

Cl = 2

Thus, the equation is not balanced!

For Option C

2Na + Cl₂ —> NaCl

Reactant:

Na = 2

Cl = 2

Product:

Na = 1

Cl = 1

Thus, the equation is not balanced!

For Option D

2Na + Cl₂ —> 2NaCl

Reactant:

Na = 2

Cl = 2

Product:

Na = 2

Cl = 2

Thus, the equation is balanced!

From the above illustrations, only option D has a balanced equation. Thus, option D illustrate the law of conservation of matter.

Who discovered the basic laws of planetary orbits?.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

kepler

Explanation:

While Copernicus rightly observed that the planets revolve around the Sun, it was Kepler who correctly defined their orbits. At the age of 27, Kepler became the assistant of a wealthy astronomer, Tycho Brahe, who asked him to define the orbital mars

The velocity of a particle is given by v=20t² - 100t + 50, where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. Evaluate the vel

allochka39001 [22]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The velocity of a particle is given by :

$v=20t^2-100t+50$

Where

v is in m/s and t is in seconds

Let a is the acceleration of the object at time t. So,

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$a=\dfrac{d(20t^2-100t+50)}{dt}$

$a=40t-100$

When a = 0

$40t-100=0$

t = 2.5 s

a is zero at t = 2.5 s. Velocity, $v=20(2.5)^2-100(2.5)+50$

v = -75 m/s

Since, $v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}$ , s is the distance travelled

$s=\int\limits{vdt}$

$s=\int\limits{(20t^2-100t+50)dt}$

$s=\dfrac{20t^3}{3}-50t^2+50t$

At t = 2.5 s, $s=\dfrac{20(2.5)^3}{3}-50(2.5)^2+50(2.5)$

s = −83.34 m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Gases tend to deviate from the ideal gas law at

IgorLugansk [536]

<h2>Answer: high pressures</h2>

The Ideal Gas equation is:

$P.V=n.R.T$

Where:

$P$ is the pressure of the gas

$n$ the number of moles of gas

$R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$ is the gas constant

$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin.

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above.

However, when <u>temperature is low</u> these gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior, because the molecules move slowly, allowing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect.

The same happens at <u>high pressures</u>, because the volume of molecules is no longer negligible.
