exothermic synthesis reaction
How does the change in components of a chemical reaction at equilibrium differ from the change in components when the reaction is not at equilibrium?
At equilibrium, there is no change in components while there is always a change when the reaction is not at equilibrium.
Which part of an atom creates most of the atom’s volume?
electron

When adding sugar to tea, it was observed that the sugar kept dissolving. When ice was added, some sugar precipitated to the bottom of the glass. The mixture is then considered to be
saturated
In his model of the atom, Bohr proposed that electrons move at fixed distances from the nucleus and that the energy of the electron is related to its orbit. What discovery contributed to the development of this atomic model?
Elements have characteristic wavelengths of light emission and absorption.
what would the precipitate be in the reaction below?
Ag2SO4
Physicists have described four basic forces in the universe. Which one of the four basic forces holds the protons together within the nucleus of the oxygen atom in a water molecule?
strong force
Air conditioners contain refrigerant, a substance that circulates through pipes of the system. The refrigerant transfers large amounts of heat from the air inside a room to the air outside by using a continuous cycle of evaporation and condensation. Which of the following BEST explains why evaporation and condensation play an important role in air conditioning?
Substances absorb heat energy when they evaporate and release heat energy when they condense.
