A chemist is trying to create a new compound in the lab. He combines OsO₄ and PtCl₄ in a reaction, hoping to produce PtO₂ and OsCl₈. However, he realizes that the reaction is not balanced. Which of the following equations correctly balances the chemical reaction?

• OsO₄ + 2PtCl₄ --> PtO₂ + OsCl₈

• OsO₄ + 2PtCl₄ --> PtO₂ + 2OsCl₈

• OsO₄ + Pt2Cl₄ --> PtO₂ + OsCl₈

• OsO₄ + 2PtCl₄ --> 2PtO₂ + OsCl₈

A blacksmith is trying to forge iron from iron ore using carbon monoxide. He realizes that the reaction Fe₂O₃ + CO --> Fe + CO₂ is not balanced. Can you help him choose the equation that shows the chemical reaction correctly balanced?

• Fe₂O₃ + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO₂

• 2Fe₂O₃ + 3CO --> 4Fe + 3CO₂

• Fe₂O₃ + CO --> Fe + CO₂

• Fe₂O₃ + 3CO --> 2Fe + CO₂

Imagine you are in a chemistry lab and you accidentally touch a flask in which a chemical reaction is taking place that releases heat (an exothermic reaction). What would you likely feel?

• The flask would probably feel cooler than before the reaction started.

• The flask would probably feel warmer than before the reaction started.

• The flask would feel the same as before the reaction started.

• None of the above.
