Fe + 2HCl →  FeCl2 + H H2 + O2 →  H2O C3H8 + 5O2 →  3CO2 + 4H2O 2Na + 2Cl2 →  2NaCl 3 / 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. Unrelated to the total mass of the products. Greater than the total mass of the products. Less than the total mass of the products. 4 / 20 In the balanced equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what is the coefficient of hydrogen (H) on the product side? 1 3 2 4 5 / 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 + 2O2 → 2CO2 + H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O 6 / 20 What is the coefficient in a balanced chemical equation? A large number written in front of a chemical formula An element on the right side of the equation An element on the left side of the equation A small number written behind a chemical formula 7 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? Ag2O → Ag + O2 2 , 4 , 1 2 , 2 , 2 5 , 4 , 2 1 , 2 , 3 8 / 20 In the balanced equation N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, how many atoms of hydrogen (H) are on the reactant side? 2 3 6 4 9 / 20 A chemical reaction happens when ___________. new atoms are created in the products existing atoms in the reactants are destroyed new bonds are formed to create complex compounds existing bonds break and the atoms rearrange to form new bonds 10 / 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 11 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? P + O2 →  P2O5 4 , 5 , 2 1 , 3 , 4 2 , 2 , 5 2 , 5 , 4 12 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can: Change the chemical formulas of the reactants and products Change the coefficients in front of the formulas None of the above Add or remove atoms from the equation 13 / 20 What is the coefficient needed in front of O2 to balance the following equation? CH4 + O2 →   CO2 + 2H2O 1 4 3 2 14 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can change the subscripts in the chemical formulas. False True 15 / 20 In the unbalanced equation: Fe + O2 → FeO3 how many Fe atoms are on the reactant side? 2 There is no Fe in the equation It depends on the amount of Fe used 1 16 / 20 What does balancing a chemical equation mean? Changing the names of the reactants and products Adding heat to a reaction Replacing elements with different ones Making sure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the reaction arrow 17 / 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. 18 / 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 19 / 20 When balancing the equation Fe + S →  FeS, what coefficient is needed in front of FeS? 2 It cannot be balanced. 1 3 20 / 20 What is the Law of Conservation of Mass? The total charge of a system must remain constant. 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. Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
