Answer 2

@Hoslos

Answer 3

Yes, yes...

Answer 4

Can you help me with these ones?

Answer 5

Of course. It is my job to help anyone whenever I am able to.

Answer 6

OK thanks. so let's start with a)

Answer 7

When a carbonat reacts with an acid, it behaves as a base, making an acid-base neutralization or titration.
The products of the reactions are typically salt and water.

Answer 8

ok thanks. now b)

Answer 9

B) K2CO3 + 2HNO3 - 2KNO3 + H2O + CO2

Answer 10

thanks. :) now c)

Answer 11

As fortis one, I would answer in terms of Biology. The first reaction is called light reaction, in which activation energy is required to make the reactancts CO2 and H2O reactive . Secondly, there is dark reaction in which the plants is able to convert these reactants into sugar and manufacture chemical energy.

Answer 12

thanks. now d)

Answer 13

d) 6CO2 + 6H2O - C6H12O6 + 6O2

Answer 14

oh good. thanks :) now e)

Answer 15

The type of reaction is condensation reaction. It takes place when gases or any types of reactants reactants, where one of the products is water or water vapour.

Answer 16

thanks! now f)

Answer 17

I think f and d are the same, don't you think?

Answer 18

for f) we need a balanced equation for what you described in d)

Answer 19

I also balanced in d).

Answer 20

can you write it as a balance chemical equation?

Answer 21

It is balanced, when I wrote for d).

Answer 22

oops i mean e) NOT d) :)

Answer 23

f. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction described in (e)

Answer 24

e) is to give a statement, not reaction and it is also about d).

Answer 25

e. Write 2–3 sentences to describe and identify the type of reaction that occurs when water is formed from its elements. (2 points)
f. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction described in (e).

Answer 26

already did e) now we just need a balanced chemical equation for the reaction described in e)

Answer 27

Oh, I get it now. It is not water's formation from photosynthesis. Let me re-do e), my mistake, Vera.

Answer 28

ok :)

Answer 29

So f) 2H2 + O2 - 2H2O.
e) the reaction is combustion. It consits in an element reacting with Oxygen and having one of the products as water.

Answer 30

thanks! :)

Answer 31

You are welcome.
