They go back from rain

Nutrients can come back to soil through animals, plants, and even water. When animals die or produce waste, the nutrients returns to the soil and degrades with time. When a plant dies or a fruit from a tree falls to the ground, once the object disintegrates with time, nutrients is returned. Water can also bring things to the soil when it rains.

What is the net ionic equation for 2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 6NaOH

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

Explanation:

First of all, let us balance the equation to give;

2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 3NaOH

Now, we can observe the presence of positive Sodium ions (Na+) and negative hydroxyl ions (OH-) on both left and right sides of the equation.

Now, the two ions will cancel out. These ions are not really involved in the overall reaction and thus do not require being written in the overall equation. Hence, the overall net ionic reaction can now be written as:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

Hydrogen and oxygen react chemically to form water how much water would form if 14.8grams of hydrogen reacted with 34.8 grams of

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

There will be formed 39.1935 grams H2O formed

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2H2 + 02 → 2H20

Step 2: Given data

mass of hydrogen = 14.8 grams

Molar mass of hydrogen = 2.02 g/mole

mass of oxygen = 34.8 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate moles

moles = mass / Molar mass

moles of hydrogen = 14.8g/ 2.02 g/mole = 7.33 moles

moles of oxygen = 34.8g / 32g/mole = 1.0875 moles

For 2 moles hydrogen consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen.

This means oxygen is the limiting reagens and will be consumed completely. Hydrogen is the reactant in excess, there will remain 5.155 moles of hydrogen

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

We see that for 2 moles of H2 consumed, there is needed 1 mole of O2, to produce 2 moles of H2O.

For 1.0875 moles of oxygen consumed, there will be produced 2.175 moles of H2O

Step 5: Calculate mass of water

Mass of H2O = moles of H2O * Molar mass of H2O

Mass of H2O = 2.175 moles * 18.02 g/moles 39.1935 grams

There will be formed 39.1935 grams H2O formed

I NEED ANSWER PLEEEAASSEE!!!

emmasim [6.3K]

The answer is B. This is because Sodium has 1 valence electron and Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. All elements want 8 valence electrons so they may be stale, like the noble gases are. Hope this helps.
