<u>Answer:</u> The missing coefficients are 2 and 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given reaction is a combustion reaction which is defined as the reaction where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

Every equation follow law of conservation of mass which states that the total number of individual atoms present on the reactant side is always equal to the total number of individual atoms present on the product side.

For the given chemical equation:

CH_4+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 4

Number of oxygen atoms = 2

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of oxygen atoms = 3

As, the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are not balanced, therefore we add some coefficients to make them balanced.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation follows:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Thus, the missing coefficients are 2 and 2.

CH4+(x)O2=CO2 +(Y)H2O
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=2+? +H=?
H=4>>Y=2
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=(2+2) +H=4
C=1 +H=4 +O=4 = C=1 +O=4 +H=4
O=4>>X=2
CH4+(2)O2 =CO2 +(2)H2O

Excess intake of antibiotics is harmful because too much can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. So technically your teaching good bacteria to be bad.

The hybridization for the B in Bcl3 is ?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

sp²

Explanation:

You need to look at how many electron orbitals around the atom.  Looking at the structure below, you can see that there are three electron orbitals.  This gives you an sp² hybridization.

Calculate the molarity of a sugar solution if 4 liters of the solution contains 12 moles of sugar.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

3M

Explanation:

Molarity is one of the measures of the molar concentration of a solution, which can be calculated by using the formula below:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

From the information given in this question, 4 liters of a solution contains 12 moles of sugar. This means that n = 12mol and V = 4L

Molarity = n/V

Molarity = 12/4

Molarity = 3

Hence, the molarity of the sugar solution is 3mol/L or 3M
