The word elliptical refers to an Oval.
Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.
The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:
<span>5P4O6 +8I2 ---> 4P2I4 +3P4O10
We are given the amount of reactants used for the reaction. We first need to determine the limiting reactant from the given amounts. We do as follows:
8.80 g P4O6 (1 mol / </span><span>219.88 g) = 0.04 mol P4O6
12.37 g I2 ( 1 mol / </span><span>253.809 g ) = 0.05 mol I2
Therefore, the limiting reactant is iodine since less it is being consumed completely in the reaction. We calculate the amount of P2I4 prepared as follows:
0.05 mol I2 ( 4 mol P2I4 / 8 mol I2 ) (</span><span>569.57 g / 1 mol) = 14.24 g P2I4</span>
Answer:
the answer is k? lol thanks
Let's start to understand this question by a simple combustion reaction involving oxidation of Ethane in the presence of Oxygen. When Ethane is burned in the presence of Oxygen it produces Carbon Dioxide and Water respectively. Therefore, the equation is as,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Above reaction shows the reaction and the equation is unbalanced. Balancing chemical equation is important because according to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, we should balance the number of elements on both side.
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 1
Hydrogen Atoms 6 2
Oxygen Atoms 2 3
It means this equation is not obeying the law. Now, how to balance? One way is as follow,
C₂H₆ + O₃ → C₂O₂ + H₆O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 3 3
We have balanced the equation by changing the subscripts. But, we have messed up the chemical composition of compounds and molecules like Oxygen is converted into Ozone.
Therefore, we will change the coefficients (moles) to balance the equation as,
C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 7 7
Now, by changing the coefficients we have balanced the equation without disturbing the chemical composition of compounds and molecules.
