Answer:
The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.
Explanation:
Step 1: The unbalanced equation
P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)
Step 2: Balancing the equation
P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)
On the left side we have 4x H (in P2H4), on the right side we have 3x H (in PH3). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply P2H4 on the left side by 3 and PH3 on the right by 4.
3P2H4(g
) ⇆ 4PH3(g) + P4(s)
On the left side we have 6x P (in 3P2H4) on the right side we have 8x P (4x in 4PH3 and 4x in P4). To balance the amount of P on bot hsides, we have to multiply 3P2H4 by 2 and 4PH3 also by 2. Now the equation is balanced
6P2H4(g
) ⇆ 8PH3(g) + P4(s)
The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.
The correct answer is C.
Most of the time, double replacements produce one product that is soluble and one that is insoluble
This results in a precipitate within a liquid or aqueous solution

The correct answer would be D. Ca^2+ has 18 electrons. This is because 2+ means that 2 electrons have been removed, and Ca starts out with 20 electrons. As 20 - 2 = 18 electrons, D is the correct answer.
Hope this helps!
