<u>Answer:</u> The coefficient '2' must be added in front of H_2O

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The given chemical equation follows:

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow H_2O

<u>On the reactant side:</u>

Number of hydrogen atoms = 4

Number of oxygen atoms = 2

<u>On the product side:</u>

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of oxygen atoms = 1

We need to add a coefficient '2' in front of H_2O to make the atoms balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Hence, the coefficient '2' must be added in front of H_2O

Reaction 1: Solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of ions. ????????????H(????) → ????????+(?????
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hi, here is a basic summary of what we did in a lab; there were 3 reactions: The procedure: Reaction 1: Solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of ions. NaOH(s)-> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ΔH1=-34.121kJ Reaction 2: Solid sodium hydroxide reacts with an aqueous solution of HCl to form water and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. NaOH(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH2=-83.602kJ Reaction 3: An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide reacts with an aqueous solution of HCl to form water an an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH3= -50.2kJ The ΔH values were calculated by dividing the heat gained by the number of moles (each reaction had 0.05moles of NaOH) The problem: Net ionic equations for reaction 2 & 3: 2: NaOH(s) + H+(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) 3: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O i) In reaction 1, ΔH1 represents the heat evolved as solid NaOH dissolves. Look at the net ionic equations for reactions 2 and 3 and make similar statements as to what ΔH2 and ΔH3 represent. ii) Compare ΔH2 with (ΔH1 + ΔH3). Explain in sentences the similarity between these two values by using your answer to #5 above. Attempt at answering: i) Firstly, ΔH2 represents the heat evolved as the hydrogen ion displaces the sodium ion, creating a single displacement reaction. ΔH3 represents the heat evolved as the hydrogen and hydroxide ion form water via a neutralization reaction. ii) ΔH2 is equal to (or supposed to be, this is a source of error while calculating) (ΔH1 + ΔH3). The similarity between these two values is that .. (this is where I get confused!)

An important difference between fuel cells and batteries is that batteries _______. Select the correct answer below: do not requ
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: the correct option is that batteries (do NOT require a continuous source of fuel).

Explanation:

A battery can be classified as an electrochemical cell that has the ability to produce electric current. They do NOT require a continuous supply of fuel because it contains all the reactants needed to produce electricity. Below are some examples of batteries that are commonly used:

--> Primary battery: This is a single use battery because it can't be recharged. A typical example is the dry cell.

--> Secondary battery: This type of battery can be recharged. They are used as a power source for smartphones, electronic tablets, and automobiles.

A FUEL CELL is known as a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Fuel cells are similar to batteries but require a continuous source of fuel, often hydrogen. They will continue to produce electricity as long as they are constantly resupplied with reactants. Hydrogen fuel cells have been used to supply power for satellites, space capsules, automobiles, boats, and submarines.

Use Boyle's Law to explain what would happen to the volume of a helium- filled balloon if it was carried underwater by a diver t
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The deeper the diver takes the helium balloon, the more it reduces in size. This is due to the pressure of the water column above pressing on the balloon. According to Boyle’s law (P= k*1/V.), as the volume of the balloon decreases, the pressure of the helium inside increases.
