Why can't the subscripts be changed?

Chemistry

Subscripts cannot be changed because they are the ratio of the amount. And as we know, in a chemical equation/reaction, mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore, we cannot change subscripts, however, we could change coefficients. <span />

Because it messes the whole problem up! Change the coefficants unstead of subscripts

A cylinder with 10 mL of coconut oil has a mass of 9.3 g. What is the density of the oil? Round to the nearest hundredth. ​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.93 grams per milliliter

Explanation:

Density is the division of mass by volume. It is how "hefty" an object is; for example, wood isn't very "hefty" but metal is. The density is measured in mass over volume, so it is 9.3/10. After applying units, it is 0.93 grams per milliliter.

A weather system moving through the American Midwest produced rain with an average pH of 5.02. By the time the system reached Ne
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

nekit [7.7K]
The ion composition of Magnesium is 12,10, 2+.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and an atomic number 12, it has 12 protons, and 12 electrons with a chemical configuration of 2:8:2. It requires to loose two electrons to form a stable configuration forming a cation (positively charged ion) with a charge of +2 and  a configuration of 2:8 ( 12 protons and 10 electrons).
