This is the chemical equation for the production of ammonia (chemical formula: NH3) from Nitrogen and Hydrogen (N2 and H2): N2 + H2 --> NH3

A student balanced the above chemical reaction as follows:

N2 + H2 --> N2H2

Explain why this is the incorrect way to balance an equation.

Honestly, I'm not even sure what the incorrect student was trying to do. The correct answer is:

( ) = the number of elements

(1)N2 and (3)H2

I think the student added the N2 and H2 to "balance" the chemical equation when instead they should have tried the balance the equation by making sure the atoms on the reactant side are equal to the atoms on the product side. You do this by multiplying the atoms on the reactant side until they equal the product side (not by adding them, as the student did).

answer: at room temperature (roughly 20 degrees c), you can dissolve 203.9 grams (or 200 grams) of sugar in 100 ml of water. as water temperature increases, the amount of sugar that will dissolve increases, up to about 500 grams of sugar in 100 ml water at 100 degrees c.

explanation:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
