Concept explainers
a.
To balance:
The given
Introduction:
In the chemical reaction, reactants are combined into a formed product that may or may not have the same property of the reactants.
The balancing of a chemical equation is based on the principle of Law of conservation of mass that states “In an ordinary chemical reaction, mass can neither be created nor destroyed”. This during a chemical reaction no gain or loss of any atom is there.
In the balancing of a chemical reaction, the number of atoms should be equal in reactant and product side.
b.
To balance:
The given chemical reaction in which phosphorus and oxygen to form phosphorus pentoxide.
Introduction:
In the chemical reaction, reactants are combined into a formed product that may or may not have the same property of the reactants. Chemical bonds formed during the chemical reaction. The chemical reaction can be reversible and irreversible.

- Consider multiplying “26.2” by “16.43.” What would a mathematician say the answer is? What would a scientist say? Justify the scientist’s answer, not merely citing the rule, hut explaining it.arrow_forwardConsider the addition of “1 5.4” to “28.” What would a mathematician say the answer is? What would a scientist say? justify the scientist’s answer, not merely citing the rule, but explaining it.arrow_forwardAlthough your textbook lists (he rules for converting an ordinary number to scientific notation, oftentimes students remember such rules better ¡f they put them into their own words. Pretend you are helping your 12-year-old niece with her math homework, and write a paragraph explaining to her how to convert the ordinary number 2421 to scientific notation.arrow_forward
- You may have noticed that when water boils, you can see bubbles that rise to the surface of the water. a. What is inside these bubbles? i. air ii. hydrogen and oxygen gas iii. oxygen gas iv. water vapor v. carbon dioxide gas b. Is the boiling of water a chemical or physical change? Explain.arrow_forwardA 26.0-oz container of salt costs $0.89. (Conversions: 6 teaspoons = 1 ounce; 16 ounces = 1 pound.) a. If a cookie recipe calls for ½ teaspoon of salt, what is the cost of the salt that is required by the recipe? b. If this recipe makes 3 dozen cookies, what is the salt cost per cookie? c. How many recipes of cookies could be made by a single container of this salt?arrow_forwardIf the price of gasoline in Belgium is €1.74 per liter and the value of 1.00 € is equal to $1.47, calculate the cost gasoline in dollars per gallon.arrow_forward
- Wire in the US is “labeled” by a number called a gauge. A 16-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.05082 inches. How long, in yards, will a 16-gauge wire be if 5.00 pounds of aluminum formed is used? [V=πr2h] Density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3arrow_forwardHow to properly use significant figures in this case?Ccal = (-ΔHrxn x nLR)/ΔTCcal = (-55.85 kJ/mol x 0.00100 mol)/5.3°CCcal = ?????? It would help if you can clarify the rules for multiplication and division. Thanks!arrow_forwardOn the planet Xgnu, the most common units of length are the blim (for long distances) and the kryll (for shorter distances). Because the Xgnuese have 14 fingers, it is not perhaps surprising that 1400 kryll = 1 blim. Two cities on Xgnu are 21.2 blim apart. What is this distance in kryll?arrow_forward
