O is an element. O2 is not an element. A compound is when a substance forms two or more elements that are chemically joined together. That is what O2 is so therefore, it is a compound. Hope this helps! :)

$H_3PO_3$ $2H_3PO_3$ $2H_3PO_3$ $P_2O_3$ Answer:

Explanation:

This question is about stoichiometry. From the balanced equation $P_2O_3 + 3H_2O$ ⇒ $2H_3PO_3$ , we see that 3 moles of water is needed to react with 1 mole of $P_2O_3$ .

This means that, to fully react 3.62 moles of $P_2O_3$ , we would need 3*3.62 or 10.86 moles of water. However, we only have 6.31 moles, so water is the limiting reactant.

Since 3 moles of water react with 1 mole of $P_2O_3$ , 6.31 moles of water can fully react with 6.31÷3 or 2.1033 moles of $P_2O_3$ .

From the balanced equation, we see that every mole of $P_2O_3$ reacted gets you 2 moles of $2H_3PO_3$ . Therefore, 2.1033 moles of $P_2O_3$ would give you approximately 4.21 moles of $H_3PO_3$ .

Tems11 [23]

Answer:56.98496

Explanation:

half if diameter is radius or 1.55 and double the radius is 3.10 or the length of the diameter. you have a height given, so use the radius and heaight to plug it in the circular cylinder calculator and you get 56.98496
