question 1: consider the equation:

s+302 → so3

is this equation balanced? why or why not?
(explain, )

question 2: how do you know if a reaction is exothermic?
(explain, )

tysm! (:

Explanation:

1. It is not Blanced. on the right the is 1S and 6O and the left there is 1S and 3O

2.If the energy level of the reactants is higher than the energy level of the products the reaction is exothermic (energy has been released during the reaction). If the energy level of the products is higher than the energy level of the reactants it is an endothermic reaction.

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
