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

Identify two ways that the rate of a chemical reaction could be increased

Increase the Surface Area of the Reactants. Increasing the surface area of the reactants increases the rate of the reaction. More surface area means more collisions of the reactant molecules and an increased rate of the reaction. This occurs when reactants are made to react in powdered form

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.

A student Increases the temperature of a 417 cubic centimeter balloon from 278 K to 231 K. Assuming constant pressure what shoul

WITCHER [35]

Initial Conditions:
Volume= v1= 417 cm³
Temperature= T1 = 278 K

Final Conditions:
Temperature= T2 = 231K
Volume = v2 =?

Use the general gas equation;

P1*v1/T1 = P2*v2/T2
As, the temperature is constant;
So,
v1/T1 = v2/T2
417/278 = v2/231
v2= 346.5 cm³

This is what your screen should look like. start with Hydrogen -1 and drag 2 neutrons over the to the nucleus. What happens to t

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A tritium is produced.

Explanation:

Combining two additional neutrons to the nucleus of the hydrogen atom makes it a tritium, Hydrogen-3.

neutron is designated ¹₀n; this shows a mass number of 1 and no atomic number

Hydrogen-1 is designated as ₁¹H; a mass number of 1 and atomic number of 1. This particle is actually more like a proton.

Combining both:

₁¹H + 2¹₀n → ³₁H

This is a nuclear reaction and in balancing such reaction equation, mass numbers and atomic numbers must be conserved.

In the forward reaction of this equilibrium, which substance acts as the Brønsted-Lowry base? H2S(aq)+CH3NH2(aq)⇋HS−(aq)+CH3NH+3

timama [110]

H2S donates a proton, therefore it is a Brønsted-Lowry base; CH3NH2 accepts a proton, so it’s a Brønsted-Lowry base.
