Hey there!
P₄ + Cl₂ → PCl₃
First, let's balance Cl.
There are 2 on the left, and 3 on the right.
To balance this, let's put a coefficient of 3 in front of Cl₂ and a coefficient of 2 in front of PCl₃.
P₄ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃
Now we have 6 on the left and 6 on the right.
Next, let's balance P.
There are 4 on the left and 2 on the right.
Let's change the coefficient in front of PCl₃ from 2 to 4.
P₄ + 3Cl₂ → 4PCl₃
There are now 4 P on each side.
However, now Cl is unbalanced, with 6 on the left and 12 on the right.
We can change the coefficient in front of Cl₂ from 3 to 6.
P₄ + 6Cl₂ → 4PCl₃
So now, we have 4 P on each side and 12 C on each side.
This is our final balanced equation.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Too much phosphorus in the water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle. Large growths of algae are called algal blooms and they can <u>severely reduce or eliminate oxygen in the water</u>, leading to illnesses in fish and the death of large numbers of fish.
Explanation
Futhermore, with a loss of fish the whole ecosystem will be upset and will be in need of serious recovery.
Answer:
55.4g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of atoms in the bottle = 8.34 x 10²²atoms
Unknown:
Mass of air in the bottle = ?
Solution:
The given specie is argon.
Molecular mass of Argon = 40g/mol
To find the mass of this Argon ;
Mass = number of moles x molecular mass;
Let us find the number of moles of the Argon;
6.02 x 10²³ atoms can be found in 1 mole of any substance
8.34 x 10²² atoms will give 
mole of Argon
= 0.139mole of Argon
So;
Mass of argon = 40g/mol x 0.139mole = 55.4g
PbO2
You have to take the mass of lead in the problem, and divide by the molar mass.
When you do the same with oxygen, you get a number about twice as large as when you divide the mass of lead by the molar mass of lead. This means that the simplest formula would be PbO2
Step 1:
Divide mass of each element with its M.mass in order to find out moles.
C = 63.2 g / 12 g/mol = Moles = 5.26 moles
H = 5.26 g / 1.008 g/mol = Moles = 5.21 moles
C = 41.6 g / 16 g/mol = Moles = 2.6 moles
Step 2:
Select moles of the element with least value and divide all moles of element by it,
C H O
5.26/2.6 : 5.21/2.6 : 2.6/2.6
2.02 : 2.00 : 1
Result:
Empirical Formula = C₂H₂O
