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.

Lab: newton's laws of motion assignment: lab report
poizon [28]

Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

<h3>What are Newton's motion laws?</h3>

Newton's motion laws are a set of scientific statements aimed at explaining the physical property of movement.

These laws explain why objects in movement tend to maintain the same velocity for a short period of time.

In conclusion, Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

Distance=Speed\times Time

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters

Thus no of football fields=\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields
