CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → 2CO2 + H2O CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 3 / 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: Impossible to determine without knowing the amount of oxygen used. More than 5 grams. Less than 5 grams. Exactly 5 grams. 4 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? P + O2 → P2O5 2 , 5 , 4 1 , 3 , 4 2 , 2 , 5 4 , 5 , 2 5 / 20 Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy? Energy can't be transferred between the system and the surroundings. 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. 6 / 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 1 It depends on the amount of Fe used 7 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can: Add or remove atoms from the equation None of the above Change the coefficients in front of the formulas Change the chemical formulas of the reactants and products 8 / 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 9 / 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 A small number written behind a chemical formula An element on the left side of the equation 10 / 20 When balancing an equation, you can change the subscripts in the chemical formulas. True False 11 / 20 In a closed system undergoing a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must be: Unrelated to the total mass of the products. Equal to the total mass of the products. Less than the total mass of the products. Greater than the total mass of the products. 12 / 20 What are the missing coefficients for the chemical equation below? Ag2O → Ag + O2 2 , 2 , 2 1 , 2 , 3 5 , 4 , 2 2 , 4 , 1 13 / 20 What does balancing a chemical equation mean? Adding heat to a reaction 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 14 / 20 Why is it important to balance a chemical equation? To represent the Law of Conservation of Mass To make the equation look neat To calculate the rate of reaction To identify the reactants and products 15 / 20 In the balanced equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what is the coefficient of hydrogen (H) on the product side? 1 2 4 3 16 / 20 Which of the following equations is balanced? H2 + O2 → H2O 2Na + 2Cl2 → 2NaCl Fe + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O 17 / 20 What is the Law of Conservation of Mass? The total energy absorbed and released from a chemical reaction varies. Matter can be neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. The total charge of a system must remain constant. 18 / 20 In the balanced equation N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, how many atoms of hydrogen (H) are on the reactant side? 6 3 4 2 19 / 20 When balancing the equation Fe + S → FeS, what coefficient is needed in front of FeS? 2 1 It cannot be balanced. 3 20 / 20 What is the coefficient needed in front of O2 to balance the following equation? CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 4 1 3 2 Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
