Answer : The correct coefficient for O_2 is, 5

Explanation :

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

P+O_2\rightarrow P_2O_5

According to the balanced chemical reaction, the number of different atoms of elements present on the reactant side should be equal to the the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

4P+5O_2\rightarrow 2P_2O_5

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 4 moles of phosphorous react with 5 moles of oxygen to give 2 moles of diphosphorous pentoxide as a product.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that the correct coefficient for O_2 is, 5

Hence, the correct coefficient for O_2 is, 5

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer : Option 3) Electrolysis.


Explanation : In the process of electrolysis, decomposition of the chemical is done by passing the electric current from the liquid or the solution containing ions in it. This is the process where compound is broken into ions namely, cations and anions.


Rest all options does not involves chemical decomposition of the compound.


Chromatography is a technique where rates of solute and solvent are compared in a medium where the solute components move at different rates and the separation is obtained.


Distillation simply purifies the liquid or solution by heating or cooling process.


Filtration just involves removal of impurities by using a more porous material device to get purified compound.

Part 1. A glass bottle, which is half-filled with water, has a balloon attached to its opening. The bottle is placed in a hot wa
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules that compose a gas are in constant random motion.

The temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.

When the balloon was placed in a hot water bath, the balloon becomes larger because the gas inside the balloon expands. This is because, more kinetic energy is supplied to the molecules of the gas hence they spread out.

When the balloon is placed in cold water, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the balloon decreases as temperature decreases hence the balloon shrinks

Be sure to answer all parts. What can be added to the equilibrium AgCl(s) + 2NH3(aq) ⇌ Ag(NH3)2+(aq) + Cl−(aq) (a) that will shi
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a) Ag(NH₃)₂⁺,  Cl⁻.

b) NH₃.

c) AgCl.

Explanation:

Based on LeChatelier's law, a system in chemistry can change responding to a disturbance of concentration, temperature, etc. in order to restore a new state.

In the reaction:

AgCl(s) + 2NH₃(aq) ⇌ Ag(NH₃)₂⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

When reactants are added, the system will produce more products restoring the equilibrium and vice versa. A reactant in solid state doesn't take part in the equilibrium, thus:

a) Ag(NH₃)₂⁺,  Cl⁻. The addition of products will shift the equilibrium to the left

b) NH₃. The addition of reactant will shift the equilibrium to the right.

c) As AgCl is in solid phase, will not shift the equilibrium in either direction.

How does the environment influence natural selection?
Nonamiya [84]
The environment affects natural selection. Speices need to adapt to changes in environmnet. The weaker organisms which fail to adapt to environment perish while the stronger ones who adapt to the environment survive. This is how environment affects natural selection.
