Which of the following represents a chemically balanced decomposition reaction of nickel (III) oxide into its elements?
-
Ni2O3 + H2O2 → 2Ni + 3O2 + H2
-
2Ni3O2 → 4Ni + 3O2
-
2Ni2O3 → 4Ni + 3O2
-
2NiO → 2Ni + O2
Correct Answer
A. 2Ni2O3 → 4Ni + 3O2Explanation
The correct answer is 2Ni2O3 → 4Ni + 3O2. This is a balanced decomposition reaction because it shows that two molecules of nickel (III) oxide (Ni2O3) decompose into four atoms of nickel (Ni) and three molecules of oxygen gas (O2). The coefficients in the equation represent the stoichiometric ratios needed to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the reaction.Rate this question:

You can tell a chemical reaction because it always produces …
-
A different substance
-
Reactants
-
A change of state
-
Water
Correct Answer
A. A different substanceExplanation
A chemical reaction can be identified by the production of a different substance. This means that the reactants undergo a transformation and form new products with different properties. This change in substance is a characteristic feature of a chemical reaction, distinguishing it from physical changes or other processes.Rate this question:

Which one of the following is a chemical equation?
-
Ice + heat --> water
-
Iron + oxygen --> rust
-
CO2
-
C + O2 --> CO2
Correct Answer
A. C + O2 --> CO2Explanation
The correct answer is C + O2 --> CO2. This is a chemical equation because it represents a chemical reaction where carbon (C) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2). The arrow indicates the direction of the reaction, with the reactants (C and O2) on the left side and the product (CO2) on the right side of the arrow.Rate this question:

What is the product of neutralization?
-
Sugar
-
Salt
-
Water
-
Salt + water
Correct Answer
A. Salt + waterExplanation
Neutralization is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base, resulting in the formation of a salt and water. In this case, the product of neutralization is salt and water. The acid and base react with each other, causing the formation of a salt compound and water molecules. Therefore, the correct answer is salt + water.Rate this question:

C2H5OH + 3 O2 à 2 CO2 + 3H2O Combustion
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given equation represents the combustion of ethanol (C2H5OH). In this reaction, ethanol reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This is a combustion reaction because it involves the reaction of a fuel (ethanol) with oxygen to release energy in the form of heat and light. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.Rate this question:

9) H2SO4 + 2NaOH à Na2SO4 + 2H2O Decomposition
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The given equation represents a neutralization reaction, not a decomposition reaction. In a neutralization reaction, an acid (H2SO4) reacts with a base (NaOH) to form a salt (Na2SO4) and water (H2O). Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of a single compound into two or more simpler substances. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

Mg + HCl à MgCl2 + H2 Single replacement
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In this reaction, magnesium (Mg) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2). This is an example of a single replacement reaction, where one element (in this case, magnesium) replaces another element (hydrogen) in a compound (HCl). Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.Rate this question:

Fe (II) + CuSO4 à FeSO4 + Cu Single replacement
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because it correctly describes a single replacement reaction between iron (II) and copper sulfate. In this reaction, iron (II) replaces copper in copper sulfate, resulting in the formation of iron sulfate and copper. This type of reaction is a common example of a single replacement reaction, where one element replaces another element in a compound.Rate this question:

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 à 2NaCl + BaSO4 Double replacement
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because it correctly describes the reaction between sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and barium chloride (BaCl2) as a double replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, the cations and anions of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. In this case, sodium chloride (NaCl) and barium sulfate (BaSO4) are formed.Rate this question:
