Changing the names of the reactants and products Replacing elements with different ones Making sure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the reaction arrow Adding heat to a reaction 2 / 20 What is the balanced equation for the reaction between methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)? CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O CH4 + 2O2 → 2CO2 + H2O 3 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can: Change the coefficients in front of the formulas Change the chemical formulas of the reactants and products None of the above Add or remove atoms from the equation 4 / 20 In a balanced equation, the total number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the reaction arrow. False True 5 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can change the subscripts in the chemical formulas. True False 6 / 20 What is the coefficient in a balanced chemical equation? An element on the left side of the equation A small number written behind a chemical formula An element on the right side of the equation A large number written in front of a chemical formula 7 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? P + O2 →  P2O5 2 , 2 , 5 4 , 5 , 2 2 , 5 , 4 1 , 3 , 4 8 / 20 Why is it important to balance a chemical equation? To identify the reactants and products To represent the Law of Conservation of Mass To make the equation look neat To calculate the rate of reaction 9 / 20 When balancing the equation Fe + S →  FeS, what coefficient is needed in front of FeS? 3 It cannot be balanced. 1 2 10 / 20 Which of the following equations is balanced? C3H8 + 5O2 →  3CO2 + 4H2O H2 + O2 →  H2O Fe + 2HCl →  FeCl2 + H 2Na + 2Cl2 →  2NaCl 11 / 20 In the balanced equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what is the coefficient of hydrogen (H) on the product side? 1 4 3 2 12 / 20 A chemical reaction happens when ___________. new bonds are formed to create complex compounds new atoms are created in the products existing bonds break and the atoms rearrange to form new bonds existing atoms in the reactants are destroyed 13 / 20 In a closed system undergoing a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must be: Equal to the total mass of the products. Greater than the total mass of the products. Less than the total mass of the products. Unrelated to the total mass of the products. 14 / 20 What is the coefficient needed in front of O2 to balance the following equation? CH4 + O2 →   CO2 + 2H2O 1 3 2 4 15 / 20 In the balanced equation N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, how many atoms of hydrogen (H) are on the reactant side? 3 2 4 6 16 / 20 In the unbalanced equation: Fe + O2 → FeO3 how many Fe atoms are on the reactant side? 1 It depends on the amount of Fe used There is no Fe in the equation 2 17 / 20 If 5 grams of magnesium (Mg) react with oxygen (O₂) to form magnesium oxide (MgO), the total mass of the magnesium oxide produced will be: Exactly 5 grams. Impossible to determine without knowing the amount of oxygen used. More than 5 grams. Less than 5 grams. 18 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? Ag2O → Ag + O2 5 , 4 , 2 2 , 2 , 2 1 , 2 , 3 2 , 4 , 1 19 / 20 What is the Law of Conservation of Mass? The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. Matter can be neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total charge of a system must remain constant. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. 20 / 20 Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy? The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction stays the same. The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. Energy can't be transferred between the system and the surroundings. The amount of energy released by a system must be more than that absorbed by the surrounding. Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
