2S + 3O2 ==> 2SO3  
Let's start off with the unbalanced equation and count atoms of each element on both sides of the arrow.  
S + O2 ==> SO3  
There's 1 sulfur atom on both sides which is good. However, there's 2 oxygen atoms on the left and 3 on the right. So calculate the Least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 3 which is 6. And adjust the coefficients on both sides to have 6 oxygen atoms on each side, giving: 
S + 3O2 ==> 2SO3  
Now we have 6 oxygen atoms on each side which is good, but there's only 1 sulfur atom on the left and 2 on the right. Since the LCM of 1 and 2 is 2, all we need to do is adjust the coefficient on the left to get 2 sulfur atoms there. So:
 2S + 3O2 ==> 2SO3  
We now have 2 sulfur atoms on each side of the equation and 6 oxygen atoms on each side, so the resulting equation is balanced.

Give the oxidation state of the metal species in each complex. ru(cn)(co)4 -
kogti [31]
The given complex ion is as follow,

                                              [Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻

Where;
            [ ]  =  Coordination Sphere

            Ru  =  Central Metal Atom  =  <span>Ruthenium

            CN  =  Cyanide Ligand

            CO  =  Carbonyl Ligand

The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,

                               Ru + (CN) + (CO)</span>₄  =  -1
Where;
            -1  =  overall charge on sphere

             0  =  Charge on neutral CO

            -1  =  Charge on CN

So, Putting values,


                               Ru + (-1) + (0)₄  =  -1

                               Ru - 1 + 0  =  -1

                               Ru - 1  =  -1

                               Ru  =  -1 + 1

                               Ru  =  0
Result:
          <span>Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)</span>₄]⁻ is zero.

Labels of many food products have expiration dates, at which point they are typically removed from the supermarket shelves. A pa
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since it first order, we use order rate equation

In ( \frac{A1}{A0}) = -kt where A1 is the final quality = 0.8 (80%), A0 is the initial quality = 1 ( 100%)

also, t half life = \frac{In2}{k} where k is rate constant

k = \frac{In 2}{45 days} = 0.0154

In ( \frac{0.8}{1}) = - 0.0154 t

-0.223 / -0.0154 = t

t = 14.49 approx 14.5 days from the date the yogurt was packaged
