The sun provides energy through nuclear fusion by fusing the atoms of hydrogen and helium in the suns core, so the answer is D
Answer:
2K +F₂→ 2KF
Explanation:
When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.
On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.
Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.
K +F₂→ 2KF
Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.
<u>Left</u>
K atoms: 1
F atoms: 2
<u>Right</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
The number of K atoms is not balanced.
2K +F₂→ 2KF
<u>Left</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
<u>Right</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
The equation is now balanced.
Answer:
2.60 g of H₂ and 20.8 g of O₂ are produced in the decomposition of 23.44 g of water
Explanation:
Water decomposition is:
2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂
We convert the mass of water, to moles:
23.44 g . 1 mol/18 g = 1.30 moles
Ratio is 2:2 with hydrogen and 2:1 with oxygen. Let's make rules of three:
2 moles of water can produce 2 moles of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas
Then, 1.30 moles will produce:
(1.30 . 2) /2 = 1.30 moles of H₂
(1.30 . 1) /2 = 0.65 moles of O₂
We convert the moles to mass
1.30 moles of H₂ . 2g / 1mol = 2.60 g of H₂
0.65 moles of O₂ . 32 g / 1 mol = 20.8 g of O₂
There are 9 H atoms in one molecule, so hydrogen is present in the greatest proportion by number of particles;
The ratio by particles is C:H:O:N = 8:9:2:1.
The denaturing of proteins is irreversible. For example, eggs cannot be unboiled. Other reactions, such as the formation of carbonic acid, are reversible.
