Homework Statement I am having trouble on knowing what products are formed in a chemical reaction, such as these : i) aluminium oxide and sodium hydroxide Al2o3 + 2NaOH + 3H2O -> NaAl(OH)4 How do we know that we have to add H2O? And how we know that the product is NaAl(OH)4 ? Why can't it be...

(a) Newtons III law : Every action has equal and opposite reaction By (a), if I apply a force of 10N on an object, it sholudnt move, as it has equal reaction, by friction of -10N so as to stop it. Isnt that logic correct?

im reading a chemistry text and its says in daltons law chemicals can not change into atoms during a chemical reaction.but if fusion is a chemical reaction then this is wrong beacuse in stars for example hydrogen combine with hydrogen to form helium .i guest i need a little clarification of...
