Answer:
B. To decrease surface area of a solute
To balance a reaction, we must say to it that the number of elements in one side is equal to the other side. For a combustion reaction such as the one given, we first need to balance the number of carbon atoms, then the hydrogen atoms and lastly the oxygen atoms.

Answer:
Halogens such as chlorine, bromine and iodine have properties that enable them to react with other elements to form important salts such as sodium chloride, also known as table salt.

Answer:
2Fe(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2FeCl3(s)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
iron = Fe = solid = Fe(s)
chlorine = Cl2 = gas = Cl2(g)
iron(III) chloride = FeCl3 = solid = FeCl3(s)
Step 2: The unbalanced equation
Fe(s) + Cl2(g) → FeCl3(s)
Step 3: Balancing the equation
Fe(s) + Cl2(g) → FeCl3(s)
On the left we have 2x Cl (in Cl2) and on the right side we have 3x Cl (in FeCl3). To balance the amount of Cl we have to multiply Cl2 (on the left) by 3 and FeCl3 by 2.
Fe(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2FeCl3(s)
On the left side we have 1x Fe and on the right side we have 2x Fe (in 2FeCl3). To balance the amount of Fe, we have to multiply Fe on the left side by 2. Now the equation is balanced.
2Fe(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2FeCl3(s)
Answer:
In graphite, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 3 other carbon atoms. ... These extra electrons are delocalised, or free to move, in the area between layers of carbon atoms. As these electrons are free to move they are able to carry charge and thus graphite can conduct electricity.
