Answer:

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

1 Cu 1

2 Ag 2

2 N 1

3 O 3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

1 C 1

4 Cl 4

2 O 2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C) 2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

2 K 2

1 H 4

1 S 1

4 O 4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

4 Al 2

6 O 6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

You're at the zoo and have a big red 1.80 L helium balloon. The barometric pressure today is 785 mmHg. Then you hear the roar of

fomenos

Answer: The volume of the balloon up there is 6.192 L.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 1.80 L, $P_{1}$ = 785 mm Hg (mm Hg = 0.00131579) = 1.032 atm

$P_{2}$ = 0.300 atm, $V_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the value into above formula as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\\1.032 atm \times 1.80 L = 0.300 atm \times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 6.192 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of the balloon up there is 6.192 L.

In a reaction of a potential new fuel, it is found that when 2.81 moles of the fuel combusts, 1,612 kJ of energy is released. Wh

Tema [17]

Answer:

-573.67

Explanation:

whenever energy is released in a chemical reaction, we would then expect the delta H of the reaction to be negative because the reaction is an exothermic reaction.

now we have that 2.81 moles of fuel when it combusts would releases 1612kJ of energy

thus, 1 mole will release 1612/2.81 = -573.67kJ of heat

Therefore the delta H of the reaction = -573.67 kJ/mol

An experiment requires that enough C3H8O be used to yield of oxygen .

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: So if you had 570 cm of ribbon, then 570%2F8.5=67.05 which means that about 67 students can do the experiment (round down to the nearest whole number).

Explanation: If you had 8.5 cm of ribbon, then only 8.5%2F8.5=1 student can do the experiment. If you had 17 cm of ribbon, then 17%2F8.5=2 students can do the experiment.
