Answer:

This is due to the water moisture present in the recovered sample.

Explanation:

The total amount of material recovered isn’t meant to weigh more than the original sample. However when this happens then it means there is the presence of water moisture in the recovered sample.

The recovered samples however needs to be heated to make it dry and eliminate the water moisture through evaporation.

Doss [256]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>Ca + Cl2 =  CaCl2
</span>
We are given the amount of calcium metal to be used for this reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

56 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g Ca) (1 mol Cl2 / 1 mol Ca) ( 22.414 L Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2 ) = 31.32 L Cl2 gas produced from the reaction

Answer:

The correct answer is "A consumer is obtaining carbon by eating carbon-based molecules stored in a producer".

Explanation:

The animal is consuming the carbon present in the molecules stored in the grass. Plants process the carbon present in the soil along with other minerals. The animal, when it feeds on these plants, is consuming the carbon they obtained from the soil. Grasslands are defined largely by their use for grazing, which includes between 10 and 30 percent of soil carbon worldwide.

Balance the equation ___Fe+__O2–&gt;___Fe2O3
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

4 Fe + 3 O2 = 2 Fe2O3

Explanation:

In order to balance the equation, there should be equal number of iron atoms (Fe) and oxygen atoms (O2) in Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3).

Since there are two atoms of Oxygen in 1 oxygen molecule and 3 atoms of Oxygen in 1 Iron Oxide, the least common multiples of the total oxygen atoms which would equal each other is 6 atoms of Oxygen. This results in 3 molecules of O2 and 2 molecules of Fe2O3.

In order to balance out the amount of iron in iron oxide, you must then calculate the total iron atoms in iron oxide; since there are 2 atoms of Fe in each molecule of Iron Oxide and there is 2 molecules of Fe2O3, the total is 2*2 = 4 atoms of iron, Fe.

In order to get 4 atoms of iron from molecules of Fe, you need 4 molecules of Fe, since each molecule contains 1 Fe.
