The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.
- An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
- The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.
Answer:
Option A. FeCl3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Mass of the compound formed = 18g
From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The compound therefore contains:
Iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:
Step 1:
Divide by their molar mass
Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112
Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331
Step 2:
Divide by the smallest
Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1
Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3
The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3
Answer:
When writing equation the mass on left side of equation must be equal to the mass on right side. True
Explanation:
The chemical reactions always follow the law of conservation of mass.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
For example:
In photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass because total mass is equal on both side of equation.

Answer:
<em> ionic equation : </em>3Fe(2+)(aq) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)+ 6Na(+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-) (aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 6Na(+) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)
<em> net ionic equation: </em>3Fe(2+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-)(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)
Explanation:
The balanced equation is
3FeSO4(aq)+ 2Na3PO4(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 3Na2SO4(aq)
<em>Ionic equations: </em>Start with a balanced molecular equation. Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions
. Indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion. Indicate the correct number of each ion
. Write (aq) after each ion
.Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged. The coefficents are given by the number of moles in the original equation
3Fe(2+)(aq) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)+ 6Na(+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-) (aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 6Na(+) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)
<em>Net ionic equations: </em>Write the balanced molecular equation. Write the balanced complete ionic equation. Cross out the spectator ions, it means the repeated ions that are present. Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.
3Fe(2+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-)(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)
