How does elements and compounds reacting together is essential in everyday matters?

1 answer:

3 0

Chemical reactions are at the essence of just about every biological and physical process in the whole universe. Stars form due to chemical reactions, our sun flamed up also because of chemical reactions in its core. Life basically evolved on Earth as an outcome of chemical reactions. The "circle of life" is, at its quintessence, a sequence of chemical reactions. Also our capacity to move and think is an outcome of chemical reactions that happen inside our bodies. Chemical reactions are the reason why new forms of matter are created. Chemical reactions make us comprehend the properties of matter. Chemical reactions make food into fuel for our bodies, they make fireworks blow up, they change food when it is cooked, they make soap remove dirt, and a lot more. Chemical reactions contribute to solving crimes and unravel mysteries. We can even find out which planets and moons are most likely to be able to preserve life. The most significant and momentous discovery made by humans, fire, is just a chemical reaction. Nothing would ever change without chemical reactions

What does conserving mass mean in a chemical equation?

lubasha [3.4K]

The law of conservation of mass states that mass or matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or recombined.
For chemical equations, this law means that each element must be accounted for equally both for reactants and products. So the same numbers of each atom must match on each side, hence the necessity for balancing the chemical equation accurately. This created a field of chemistry called Stoichiometry, which accounts for the conservation of matter throughout chemical reactions and processes.

H3PO4 + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(H2PO4)2 + H2O

aniked [119]

Given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Balance the following equation:

$H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + H_2O$

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is as follows.

$2H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + 2H_2O$

Explanation:

When a chemical equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side then this equation is known as balanced equation.

For example, $H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + H_2O$

Number of atoms on reactant side:

H = 5

P = 1

O = 6

Ca = 1

Number of atoms on product side:

H = 6

P = 2

O = 9

Ca = 1

In order to balance this equation, we will multiply $H_3PO_4$ by 2 on reactant side and we will multiply $H_2O$ by 2 on product side. Hence, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

$2H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + 2H_2O$

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -

Katarina [22]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

Hydrogen bonding
Dipole-dipole interactions
London dispersion forces.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$
