A synthesis reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. In this case, ammonia (NH\u2083) and sulfuric acid (H\u2082SO\u2084) combine to form ammonium sulfate ((NH\u2084)\u2082SO\u2084), a compound that contains both ammonium ions (NH\u2084\u207a) and sulfate ions (SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the correct answer is:<br><strong>b. synthesis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Balance the unbalanced chemical equation: Sg(g) + O\u2082(g) \u2192 SO\u2083(g)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The unbalanced equation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Sg(g)} + \\text{O}_2(g) \\rightarrow \\text{SO}_3(g)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s balance this step-by-step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Balance sulfur atoms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is 1 sulfur atom on the left-hand side (Sg), and 1 sulfur atom on the right-hand side (in SO\u2083). Therefore, sulfur is balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Balance oxygen atoms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On the right-hand side, there are 3 oxygen atoms in SO\u2083. On the left-hand side, O\u2082 contains 2 oxygen atoms per molecule. To balance the oxygen atoms, we need to adjust the number of O\u2082 molecules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to have a total of 3 oxygen atoms on the left-hand side to balance the 3 oxygen atoms on the right-hand side. Therefore, we need 3\/2 molecules of O\u2082 on the left-hand side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Sg(g)} + \\frac{3}{2} \\text{O}_2(g) \\rightarrow \\text{SO}_3(g)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Remove the fraction by multiplying the entire equation by 2.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplying by 2 will remove the fraction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>2 \\text{Sg(g)} + 3 \\text{O}_2(g) \\rightarrow 2 \\text{SO}_3(g)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Balanced Equation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>2 \\text{Sg(g)} + 3 \\text{O}_2(g) \\rightarrow 2 \\text{SO}_3(g)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of balancing a chemical equation follows the law of conservation of mass, which states that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sulfur (Sg) atoms are balanced because there is 1 sulfur on each side, but we needed to adjust the number of oxygen (O\u2082) molecules to achieve this balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oxygen (O\u2082) is a diatomic molecule, so the challenge was adjusting the number of O\u2082 molecules. By multiplying the equation by 2, we achieved whole numbers for the coefficients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identify this reaction NH3 + H2SO4 + (NH4)2SO4) a. double displacement b. synthesis c. single displacement d. decomposition The Correct Answer and Explanation is : 1.
