False True 4 / 20 Which of the following equations is balanced? H2 + O2 →  H2O 2Na + 2Cl2 →  2NaCl Fe + 2HCl →  FeCl2 + H C3H8 + 5O2 →  3CO2 + 4H2O 5 / 20 What is the coefficient needed in front of O2 to balance the following equation? CH4 + O2 →   CO2 + 2H2O 2 4 3 1 6 / 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: Less than 5 grams. More than 5 grams. Exactly 5 grams. Impossible to determine without knowing the amount of oxygen used. 7 / 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 amount of energy released by a system must be more than that absorbed by the surrounding. The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. Energy can't be transferred between the system and the surroundings. 8 / 20 When balancing the equation Fe + S →  FeS, what coefficient is needed in front of FeS? It cannot be balanced. 3 1 2 9 / 20 What is the balanced equation for the reaction between methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)? CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → 2CO2 + H2O 10 / 20 What does balancing a chemical equation mean? Changing the names of the reactants and products Making sure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the reaction arrow Adding heat to a reaction Replacing elements with different ones 11 / 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 12 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can change the subscripts in the chemical formulas. True False 13 / 20 In the balanced equation N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, how many atoms of hydrogen (H) are on the reactant side? 3 2 6 4 14 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? Ag2O → Ag + O2 1 , 2 , 3 2 , 4 , 1 2 , 2 , 2 5 , 4 , 2 15 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? P + O2 →  P2O5 2 , 2 , 5 1 , 3 , 4 4 , 5 , 2 2 , 5 , 4 16 / 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 17 / 20 In the unbalanced equation: Fe + O2 → FeO3 how many Fe atoms are on the reactant side? There is no Fe in the equation 2 It depends on the amount of Fe used 1 18 / 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. Less than the total mass of the products. Greater than the total mass of the products. Unrelated to the total mass of the products. 19 / 20 What is the coefficient in a balanced chemical equation? An element on the left side of the equation A large number written in front of a chemical formula A small number written behind a chemical formula An element on the right side of the equation 20 / 20 What is the Law of Conservation of Mass? Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. The total charge of a system must remain constant. Matter can be neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
