The following reaction gives a product with the molecular formula C₄H₈O₂. The diagram of the structure of the product can be seen in the image attached below.

The reaction between C₂H₂(ONa)₂ and C₂H₄Br results in the formation of the product C₄H₈O₂ and 2NaBr.

This reaction undergoes an SN₂ mechanism since there is no stable carbocation formed. In the reaction -O⁻Na⁺ attacks the ortho position in C₂H₄Br to form C₄H₈O₂.

In  SN₂ mechanism is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where one bond is formed while another one is broken simultaneously.

The mechanism for the reaction can be seen in the image attached below.

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

What is a substance and what are the two types of substances?
masha68 [24]
A pure substance has a constant composition and cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical means. There are two types of pure substances: elements and compounds. Elements: are pure substances made up of only l type of atom. Atoms of the same element are identical in properties.
