Answer:

Coefficient of H_{2}O in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.

Explanation:

Unbalanced equation: Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)

Balance Ca: 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)

Balance PO_{4}  : 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)

Balance H and O: 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)

Balanced equation: 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)

So coefficient of H_{2}O in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.

Atoms of metallic elements tend to...
lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.

Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.  

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

During which phase change does the arrangement of water molecules become more orderly?
KatRina [158]
The phase change in which the water molecules become most orderly is the freezing. This is the process of changing water as liquid to its solidified form. The process of freezing is an exothermic which means that for this to occur, heat should be removed from the system.
