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 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 → 2CO2 + H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 3 / 20 In the balanced equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what is the coefficient of hydrogen (H) on the product side? 4 3 2 1 4 / 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 5 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can change the subscripts in the chemical formulas. False True 6 / 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. 7 / 20 Which of the following equations is balanced? H2 + O2 → H2O Fe + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H 2Na + 2Cl2 → 2NaCl C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O 8 / 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 1 2 There is no Fe in the equation 9 / 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. Exactly 5 grams. Impossible to determine without knowing the amount of oxygen used. Less than 5 grams. 10 / 20 When balancing the equation Fe + S → FeS, what coefficient is needed in front of FeS? 1 2 It cannot be balanced. 3 11 / 20 What is the coefficient needed in front of O2 to balance the following equation? CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 2 4 1 3 12 / 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. 13 / 20 In a balanced equation, the total number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the reaction arrow. True False 14 / 20 Why is it important to balance a chemical equation? To calculate the rate of reaction To make the equation look neat To identify the reactants and products To represent the Law of Conservation of Mass 15 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? P + O2 → P2O5 1 , 3 , 4 2 , 2 , 5 2 , 5 , 4 4 , 5 , 2 16 / 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 Replacing elements with different ones Changing the names of the reactants and products Adding heat to a reaction 17 / 20 Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy? 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 stays the same. Energy can't be transferred between the system and the surroundings. The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. 18 / 20 A chemical reaction happens when ___________. 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 new bonds are formed to create complex compounds 19 / 20 In the balanced equation N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, how many atoms of hydrogen (H) are on the reactant side? 4 6 3 2 20 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? Ag2O → Ag + O2 1 , 2 , 3 2 , 4 , 1 5 , 4 , 2 2 , 2 , 2 Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
