A word equation is a written description of a chemical reaction.
All word equations start with the reactants.
Then, what comes next is the word "react to form."
Finally, the products of the equation are mentioned.
An example is,
Zinc and Hypochondriac acid react to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.
The correct answer is A. molecular formula = 2 x empirical formula
The given compound C2H10N2 is the molecular formula because the ratios of the elements are not reduced into lowest terms (empirical formula). To get the empirical formula, the ratios must be reduced to the smallest possible integral ratio which gives CH5N. As a result, the ratio between both formulas is 2.
Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.
(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Z
= number of protons
(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
Z
= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)
Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.
(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.
A
= number of protons + number neutrons
or
A
=
Z
+ number neutrons
So if you say that
Z
= 20 and
A
= 40, then
A
=
Z
+ number neutrons
40 = 20 + number of neutrons
40 - 20 = number of neutrons
Therefore,
number of neutrons = 20
