Answer:
a. volcanic changes create new land
The atmosphere provides C02 for us, it protects us from the Sun's UV rays, it protects us from many objects in space that could crash into earth without it, and it holds the moisture in the air.
Firstly the limiting reactant should be identified. Limiting reactant is the reactant that is in limited supply, the amount of product formed depends on the moles present of the limiting reactant.
the stoichiometry of x to y = 1:2
1 mole of x reacts with 2 moles of y
if x is the limiting reactant, there are 3 moles of x, then 6 moles of y should react, however there are only 4 moles of y. Therefore y is the limiting reactant and x is in excess.
4 moles of y reacts with 2 moles of x
since there are 3 moles of x initially and only 2 moles are used up, excess amount of x is 1 mol thats in excess.
Answer for your question is;
2,6 = 8
The first shell is 2 electrons the other shell is 6 electrons
The answer is C. They lower the activation energy of an elementary step of a reaction
This makes the reaction rate to increase since less energy is required to make a reaction occur.
