Answer:

The coefficient of H3PO4 is 1

Explanation:

The equation is H3PO4(aq) + NaOH (aq) → Na3PO4(aq) + H2O (l)

To balance the reaction, we first balance the Na atoms: On the right there are 3 Na atoms, so on the left we multiply NaOH by 3

The number of P atoms on the left is 1, the number of the P atoms on the right is also 1. So, this is already balanced.

On the left there are 6 H atoms, on the right we have 2H atoms, so e have to multiply H2O by 3.

On the left we have 7 O atoms, on the right, now we have also 7O atoms.

So this is already balanced.

The fully balanced reaction is H3PO4 (aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Na3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(l)

The coefficient of H3PO4 is 1

Why copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites?

Dafna1 [17]

Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn

ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = $3.00\times 10^8\ m/s$

The distance = $7.9\times 10^8\ km$

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = $7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m$

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Thus,

$3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}$

$300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s$

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time= $\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min$

Answer:

It would be True

Explanation:

Because they both have the same push of gravity. Gravity affects all objects equally. If you drop an egg and a watermelon at the same time they would both collide with the floor at the same time.
