Answer:

Five molecules of oxygen.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the given chemical reaction, we must write a five before the oxygen in order to equal the number of oxygen atoms at both the right and left side (ten) so phosphorous remain the same (4):

P_4(s) + 5 O_2(g)\rightarrow  P_4O_{10}(s)

It means that five molecules of oxygen (O₂) are needed to form one molecule of tetraphosphorous decaoxide (P₄O₁₀).

Best regards.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C. 25.6 kPa

Explanation:

The Gauge pressure is defined as the amount of pressure in a fluid that exceeds the amount of pressure in the atmosphere.

As such, the formula will be,

PG = PT – PA

Where,

PG is Gauge Pressure

PT is Absolute Pressure

PA is Atmospheric Pressure

Inputted in the formula,

PG = 125.4 - 99.8

PG = 25.6 kPa

The gauge pressure inside the container is 25.6kPa which is option C.

Polycarbonate plastic has a density of 1.2 g/cm3 . A photo frame is constructed from two 3.0 mm sheets of polycarbonate. Each sh
valina [46]
<span>440 g First, determine the volume of each sheet. And it's easier if each dimension is using the same unit of measure. So each sheet is 28 cm by 22 cm by 0.30 cm. Multiply them together 28 cm * 22 cm * 0.30 cm= 184.8 cm^3 Since we have 2 identical sheets, double the total volume 184.8 cm^3 * 2 = 369.6 cm^3 Now multiple the volume by the density 369.6 cm^3 * 1.2 g/cm^3 = 443.52 g Round the results to 2 significant digits since all of the given figures are only 2 significant digits long. 443.52 g = 440 g</span>

A 2.40 kg block of ice is heated with 5820 J of heat. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J•g^-1•C^-1. By how much will it’s temp
MrMuchimi

Answer: The temperature rise is 0.53^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed by ice = 5280 J

m = mass of ice = 2.40 kg = 2400 g   (1kg=1000g)

c = heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g^0C

Initial temperature  = T_i

Final temperature = T_f  

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=?

Putting in the values, we get:

5280J=2400g\times 4.18J/g^0C\times \Delta T

\Delta T=0.53^0C

Thus the temperature rise is 0.53^0C

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product
