Consider the equations below. (1) ca(s) + co2(g) + 1 2 o2(g) → caco3(s) (2) 2ca(s)+o2(g) → 2cao(s) how should you manipulate these equations so that they produce the equation below when added? check all that apply. cao(s) + co2(g) → caco3(s) reverse the direction of equation (2) multiply equation (1) by 3 multiply equation (2) by 1/2

Answer : The correct options are, reverse the direction of equation (2) and multiply equation (2) by 1/2.

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation.

The main given balanced chemical reaction is,

Now we have to determine the main chemical reaction from the given two intermediate reactions.

(1)

(2)

Now reverse the equation (2), multiply equation (2) by 1/2 and then add both the equations, we get the main chemical reaction.

(1)

(2)

Now add both the equations, we get:

Hence, the steps used for the main reaction are, reverse the direction of equation (2) and multiply equation (2) by 1/2.

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current
