The correct answer is D. The law of conservation of mass states that in a system matter can neither be created or destroyed, hence atoms of each element on reactant side should equal atoms of each element on product side. In the unbalanced equation:

C_2H_4 + O_2 ==> H_2O + CO_2, the are 2 carbon atoms on reactant side as opposed to 1 carbon atom on product side,  there are 4 hydrogen atoms on reactant side as opposed to 2 hydrogen atoms on product side, and there are 2 oxygen atoms on reactant side as opposed to 3 atoms of oxygen on product side. To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on O_2 and on the product side we put a coefficient of 2 on both water H_2O and carbon dioxide CO_2.

C_2H_4 + 3O_2 ==> 2H_2O + 2CO_2.

1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.

2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency. 
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is no set way to do this. All you have to do is define left and right. Left will be minus and right will be the opposite --- plus.

That is completely arbitrary. It could be the other way around. It does not matter.

Left is minus so: - 600 N   is the force going left.

Right plus so: + 500 N

Now just add.

Net Force = +500 - 600

Net Force = - 100 N

So the Net Force is - 100 N going to the left.
