<h2>Answer:</h2>

"He knew better than to drink and derive"

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Isaac Newton was known to be a passionately focused introvert who could go without sleep for days and live on bread and wine but refused a glass of wine before formulating the rules for differentiation because he did not want to cloud his thinking.

For the following problem convert both the reactants to moles and balance chemical equationsThe reaction of 167 g Fe2O3 with 85.
saul85 [17]

Let's start by balancing the reaction:

Fe_2O_3+CO\longrightarrow Fe+CO_2

As we can see, C appears only on two comopunds, CO and CO₂, and since both have 1 C each, their coefficients have to be the same for C to be balanced. However, CO has 1 O and CO₂ has 2, so there is a difference of 1 O betwee them.

The other source of O is Fe₂O₃, that has 3 O. So, we must choose a coefficient for CO and CO₂ such that the difference between the numbers of O is a multiple of 3, that way we can fix this difference with the O from Fe₂O₃. So, we can put coefficients of 3 on both of them:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\longrightarrow Fe+3CO_2

That way, we maintained C balanced (3 on each side) and now we have 3 + 3 O on the left side and 6 O on the right side, so the same amount.

Now, we just have to calance Fe, but it is easy since we have it alone in Fe. Since we have 2 on the left side, it is enough to put a coefficient of 2 on Fe to get the balanced reaction:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\longrightarrow2Fe+3CO_2

Now, to convert from mass to number of moles, we need the molar masses of the reactants, which we can calculate from the atomic weights of the elemnts in each of them:

M_{Fe_2O_3}=2\cdot M_{Fe}+3\cdot M_O=(2\cdot55.845+3\cdot15.9994)g/mol=159.6882g/molM_{CO}=1\cdot M_C+1\cdot M_O=(1\cdot12.0107+1\cdot15.9994)g/mol=28.0101g/mol

Now, we can convert their masses to number of moles:

\begin{gathered} M_{Fe_{2}O_{3}}=\frac{m_{Fe_2O_3}}{n_{Fe_{2}O_{3}}} \\ n_{Fe_2O_3}=\frac{m_{Fe_2O_3}}{M_{Fe_{2}O_{3}}}=\frac{167g}{159.6882g/mol}=1.045787\ldots mol \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} M_{CO}=\frac{m_{CO}}{n_{CO}} \\ n_{CO}=\frac{m_{CO}}{M_{CO}}=\frac{85.8g}{28.0101g/mol}=3.063180\ldots mol \end{gathered}

Now, to determine the limiting reactant, we need to divide both the number of mole by their coefficients on the balanced reaction, so we can see how many we need per reaction of each:

\begin{gathered} Fe_2O_3\colon\frac{n_{Fe_2O_3}}{1}=\frac{1.045787\ldots mol}{1}=1.045787\ldots mol \\ CO\colon\frac{n_{CO}}{3}=\frac{3.063180\ldots mol}{3}=1.021060\ldots mol \end{gathered}

Now, the limiting reactant is the one we have less number of moles per reaction. We can see that we have less CO than Fe₂O₃, so the limiting reactant is CO.

What controls flowering in many<br> plants?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

All flowering is regulated by the integration of environmental cues into an internal sequence of processes. These processes regulate the ability of plant organs to produce and respond to an array of signals. The numerous regulatory switches permit precise control over the time of flowering.

photoshop1234 [79]
The choices for this are as follows:

A) gases; solids
B) metals; nonmetals
C) nonmetals; metals
<span>D) reactive; nonreactive
</span>
I think the correct answer is option B. The stair-step line between the pink squares and the yellow squares separates the metals from the nonmetals. Hope this helps.
