Answer: OA is a balanced equation.

Explanation: For an equation to be balanced, the number of atoms and the total charge of each element in the reaction, of the product and reactant side must be the same.

Considering OA; 6 atoms of nitrogen is present in the reactant side. Shifting to the product side, 6 atoms of nitrogen is also present. Taking the other element in the reaction into account, the number of atoms of each element balances on both sides.

ANSWER:

The correct answer is OA. 2NH3 (g) + 3Mg (s) →3H2 (g) + Mg3N2 (s)

The Equation; 2NH3 (g) + 3Mg (s) →3H2 (g) + Mg3N2 (s), is a balanced chemical equation.

FURTHER EXPLANATION;

According to the law of conservation of mass, all chemical equations should be written such that the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

This is done by balancing the chemical equation.

Balancing of chemical equations is a try and error method that makes sure the number of atoms of each element in a chemical equation are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products.

The equation; 2NH3 (g) + 3Mg (s) →3H2 (g) + Mg3N2 is said to be balanced since the number of atoms of each element are equal on both side of the equation.

That is; 2 atoms of nitrogen, 6 atoms of hydrogen and 3 atoms of magnesium on both side of the equation.

Choice OB is incorrect because, the equation 4NH3 (g) + Mg(s)* - H2(g) + Mg3N2 (s) is not balanced as the number of nitrogen atoms and that of hydrogen atoms are not equal on both side of the equation.(4 nitrogen atoms on the reactant side and 2 nitrogen atoms on the product side, 12 hydrogen atoms on the reactant side and 2 hydrogen atoms on the product side).

Choice OC is incorrect because, the equation, NH3 (g) + Mg (s) - H2 (g) + Mg3N2 (s) is not balanced as the number of nitrogen atoms, magnesium atoms and that of hydrogen atoms are not equal on both side of the equation.(1 nitrogen atom on the reactant side and 2 nitrogen atoms on the product side, 3 hydrogen atoms on the reactant side and 2 hydrogen atoms on the product side, 1 magnesium atom on the reactant side and 3 magnesium atom on the product side).

Choice OD is incorrect because, the equation Ca (s) + 02 (9) - 2Cao (s) is not balanced as the number calcium atoms is not the same on both side of the equation, 1 calcium atom on the reactant side and 2 calcium atoms on the product side.

What’s the distance from the nucleus of an atom to its theoretical outer edge of electron orbits

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The range of atoms = (30-300 pm) depending upon the element

Explanation:

The Atomic radii of the atom is the distance from the center of the circle to the outermost orbital.

The center of the circle is the nucleus and the radii is the outermost boundary.

The actual size of the atom is decided on the basis of the Zeff . Also known as <em>effective nuclear charge.</em>

<em>Zeff: It is the net positive charge felt by the outermost electron by the nucleus.</em>

<em>The value of Zeff depends upon the shielding constant. More the shielding less will be the Zeff . Hence the size of the atom increases.</em>

Due to shielding the outermost electrons feel less pull of nucleus.

<em>The greater the Zeff , the smaller the radius of the atom.</em>

The formula used to calculate the atomic mass is :

$r_{n}=\frac{52.9n^{2}}{Z}$ pm

Here "pm"= picometers

$1 pm = 10^{-12}m$

<u>The size of the smallest atom H-atom = 120 pm</u>

<u>The range of atoms = (30-300 pm)</u>

The diagram below shows an electromagnet. Using your scientific knowledge, state the device that is used to measure the potentia

weeeeeb [17]

Voltmeter is the device that is used to measure the potential difference across the battery.

<h2>What are the usage of voltmeter?</h2><h3 /><h3>Usage of Voltmeter</h3>

Voltmeter is an instrument that measures voltages of both direct and alternating electric current. On a scale of voltmeter usually graduated in volts, millivolts (0.001 volt), or kilovolts (1,000 volts).

Voltmeter is connected in parallel form. It has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit so we can conclude that Voltmeter is the device that is used to measure the potential difference across the battery.

SpongeBob & Friends and the Scientific Method

yarga [219]

Answer:

1. Which people are in the control group? The people who received the mint without the secret ingredient

(Group B) would be the control group.

2. What is the independent variable? Secret ingredient in the breath mint

3. What is the dependent variable? Amount of breath odor (or bad breath)

4. What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be? The breath mint with the secret ingredient appears to reduce the

amount of breath odor more than half the time, but it is not 100% effective.

5. Why do you think 10 people in group B reported fresher breath? This may be due to the placebo effect.

When you have a free metal ion, how do the energies of these orbitals relate to one another (are they the same, different, etc.)

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The energy of the orbitals are the same

Explanation:

For a free metal ion, all the d-orbitals are of the same energy. The five d-orbitals are said to be five fold degenerate in the free metal ion. Hence all the d-orbitals will possess the same energy irrespective of which one is first filled.

In an octahedral or tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals will loose their degeneracy and become different in energy based on their orientation towards the ligands.
