The unbalanced reaction is

<em>a</em> NH₄NO₃   ⇒   <em>b</em> N₂ + <em>c</em> O₂ + <em>d</em> H₂O

where <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, and <em>d</em> are unknown constants.

Count how many times each element appears on either side of the reaction.

• reactants:

N = 2<em>a</em>, H = 4<em>a</em>, O = 3<em>a</em>

• products

N = 2<em>b</em>, O = 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em>, H = 2<em>d</em>

<em />

Now we solve the system of equations,

2<em>a</em> = 2<em>b</em> … … … [1]

4<em>a</em> = 2<em>d</em> … … … [2]

3<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em> … … … [3]

<em />

From [1] we immediately have

<em>a</em> = <em>b</em>

In [2], we get

2<em>a</em> = <em>d</em>

and substituting for <em>d</em> in [3] gives

3<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em> + 2<em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em>

<em />

Let <em>c</em> = 1; then

• <em>a</em> = 2×1 = 2

• <em>b</em> = 2

• <em>d</em> = 2×2 = 4

So, the balanced reaction is

2 NH₄NO₃   ⇒   2 N₂ + O₂ + 4 H₂O

Answer:

the pressure due to the water on the diver is 200,000 pascal

pressure = height × density × acceleration due to gravity

p = 20×1000×10

Imagine you’re driving along a road and you approach a bridge. You notice a sign that reads, “Bridge freezes before road.” Why d
nydimaria [60]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>During wet and freezing temperatures, ice is able to form at a faster pace on bridges because freezing winds blow from above and below and both sides of the bridge, causing heat to quickly escape. The road freezes slower because it is merely losing heat through its surface.</h3>

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving
BabaBlast [244]

Y₀ = initial position of the balloon at the top of the building = 44 m

Y = final position of the balloon at halfway down the building = 44/2 = 22 m

a = acceleration of the balloon = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the balloon = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the balloon = ?

using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

v² = 0² + 2 (- 9.8) (22 - 44)

v = 20.78 m/s
