The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
What is the coefficient of when the following equation is properly balanced with the smallest set of whole numbers?
Answer: The coefficient of is 3
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
The coefficient of is 3
Explanation:
A change that does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.
For example, mass, density, volume etc are all physical changes.
On the other hand, a change that brings change in chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical change.
For example, combustion, toxicity, reactivity etc are all chemical changes.
Hence, following statements are identified as chemical or physical changes as follows.
(a) Oxygen gas supports combustion : Chemical change
(b) Fertilizers help to increase agricultural production : Chemical change
(c) Water boils below on top of a mountain : Physical change
(d) Lead is denser than aluminum : Physical change
(e) Uranium is a radioactive element : Chemical change
