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.

What are the horizontal (from left to right) parts of the periodic table called?
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is periods. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The horizontal lines in the periodic table are called periods (ranging from 1 to 7) and vertical lines (ranging from 1 to 18).

The period that an element belongs to coincides with the last electronic layer of the element (that compound in period 3 will have 2 electronic layers).

Can anyone help me with the calculations for the Frequency, Wavelength, Energy Chart?
sergeinik [125]
Use the following equations to fill the chart.

E = hf
where
h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s, Planck's constant
f = frequency Hz
E = quanta of energy, J

c = fλ
where
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s, the velocity of light
λ = wavelength, m

If energy is given in J/mmol, divide by Avogadro's number, N = 6.02 x 10²³, to convert it to J.

The completed table is shown below.

Thermal energy always moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

\fbox{Law -Based \: on \: laws \: of \: thermodynamic}

Explanation:

At constant pressure Thermal energy always moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level, laws of thermodynamics prove that.

Nature always likes to attain equilibrium either it's movement of heat energy or flow of water from higher region to lower region. The first and second law of thermodynamics are profe of that, the first law says that the total energy of universe is Constant. Energy can not be destroyed it always changes from one form to another, by work and heat. The second law explains why thermal energy moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level, it deals with the change in entropy of a system and surrounding and states heat flows from hot environment to cold environment.
