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 5 / 20 Which of the following equations is balanced? H2 + O2 →  H2O C3H8 + 5O2 →  3CO2 + 4H2O Fe + 2HCl →  FeCl2 + H 2Na + 2Cl2 →  2NaCl 6 / 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 7 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? P + O2 →  P2O5 4 , 5 , 2 2 , 5 , 4 2 , 2 , 5 1 , 3 , 4 8 / 20 In a closed system undergoing a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must be: Greater than the total mass of the products. Unrelated to the total mass of the products. Equal to the total mass of the products. Less than the total mass of the products. 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 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O CH4 + 2O2 → 2CO2 + H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 10 / 20 What is the coefficient needed in front of O2 to balance the following equation? CH4 + O2 →   CO2 + 2H2O 3 2 1 4 11 / 20 In the unbalanced equation: Fe + O2 → FeO3 how many Fe atoms are on the reactant side? It depends on the amount of Fe used There is no Fe in the equation 1 2 12 / 20 Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy? The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction stays the same. 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. 13 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can change the subscripts in the chemical formulas. False True 14 / 20 Why is it important to balance a chemical equation? To make the equation look neat To calculate the rate of reaction To represent the Law of Conservation of Mass To identify the reactants and products 15 / 20 What is the Law of Conservation of Mass? The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Matter can be neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total charge of a system must remain constant. 16 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can: Change the chemical formulas of the reactants and products Add or remove atoms from the equation None of the above Change the coefficients in front of the formulas 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: More than 5 grams. Impossible to determine without knowing the amount of oxygen used. Exactly 5 grams. Less than 5 grams. 18 / 20 What does balancing a chemical equation mean? Making sure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the reaction arrow Changing the names of the reactants and products Replacing elements with different ones Adding heat to a reaction 19 / 20 In the balanced equation N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, how many atoms of hydrogen (H) are on the reactant side? 4 3 2 6 20 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? Ag2O → Ag + O2 2 , 2 , 2 1 , 2 , 3 2 , 4 , 1 5 , 4 , 2 Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
