Min is asked to balance the equation below.

Physics
2 answers:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
6 0
It is incorrect, because the identity of the original product has changed. Ca3(OH)2 does not exist! It is no longer calcium hydroxide. To balance an equation, you must manipulate the coefficients, a.k.a. the big numbers that go before reactants or products. Subscripts, the little numbers inside the reactants or products, cannot be changed without completely changing the substance.

Ca3P2 + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + PH3

Min’s result: Ca3P2 + H2O → Ca3(OH)2 + PH3

Which best describes Min’s method for balancing the chemical equation?

It is correct, because now there are three Ca atoms on each side of the equation.

It is incorrect, because the identity of the original product has changed.

It is correct, because Ca3(OH)2 creates a more stable compound.

It is incorrect, because the subscript “2” should be added instead.

Answer: B

Why Is It Hard For Electrons To Move Through An Insulator
Mrac [35]
An insulator is not a good source for heat or electricity to move through.  Wood is an example of an insulator. The opposite of insulator is conductor.  An example of a conductor is metal.

A vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3). What is the angle of the displacement?
Naily [24]

Answer:

135degrees

Explanation:

Given that a vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3)

y component value = -3

x component value = 3

angle of the displacement theta = arctan(y/x)

theta = arctan(-3/3)

theta = arctan (-1)

theta = -45degrees

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant

theta = 180 - 45

theta = 135degrees

Hence the angle of the displacement is 135degrees

How to find the coefficient of kinetic friction?
ycow [4]
It depends on the type of question, mechanical condition and given values, 
You can use the formula, 

Coefficient of kinetic friction  =  Force of Kinetic friction  /  Normal force (perpendicular to contacting surfaces)

Hope this helps!

Properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance
Zolol [24]

The complete statement is "chemical properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance".


It states a key concept in chemistry.


A chemical property is the ability of a substance, element or compound, to <em>transform</em> into other substances either <em>by decomposing or by combining</em> with one or more substances.


This transformation is defined as chemical reaction.


During chemical reactions some chemical bonds  are broken and others are formed leading to the formation of one or more different substances called products.


Some examples of chemical properties are: reactivity with oxygen, reactivity with water, acidity, basicity, oxidation, reduction. The only way to tell if a substance has certain chemical property is by letting it react and so observe the change of the original substance into one or more different substances.
