<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Oxygen

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>A bunsen burner attains a blue gas flame when there is enough oxygen for complete combustion. </u></em>
When there is sufficient oxygen, the gas flame appears blue because complete combustion creates enough energy to excite and ionize the gas molecules in the flame.
In other words; increasing oxygen supply, less black body-radiating soot is produced as a result of a more complete combustion and the reaction creates enough energy to excite and ionize gas molecules in the flame, and a blue flame is formed.

Which biomes would be found nearest to the equator?

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

tropical rain forests and savannas

Explanation:

Tropical rainforests are found near the equator due to the amount of rainfall and the amount of sunshine these areas receive. ...

savannas-Because of their warm climate requirements, savannas tend to be found closer to the equator, which marks the halfway point between the north and south hemispheres of the earth. Because this area gets direct sunlight more of the year than the north and south extremes, the temperature doesn't change much.

Study this chemical reaction: (aq)(s)(s)(aq) Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that hap

disa [49]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction ;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

What coefficients can be used to balance the following equation

zheka24 [161]

The coefficient that can be used to balanced the given equation are 3, 2, 6, 1

<h3>What is a chemical equation? </h3>

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The reactants are located on the left side while the products are located on the right side.

Reactants —> Products

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

<h3>How to balance the equation </h3>

K₂CO₃ + FeCl₃ -> KCl + Fe₂(CO₃)₃

There are 3 atoms of C on the right side and 1 on the left side. It can be balanced by writing 3 before K₂CO₃ as shown below:

3K₂CO₃ + FeCl₃ -> KCl + Fe₂(CO₃)₃

There are 6 atoms of K on the left side and 1 on the right side. it can be balanced by writing 6 before KCl as shown below:

3K₂CO₃ + FeCl₃ -> 6KCl + Fe₂(CO₃)₃

There are 6 atoms of Cl on the right side and 3 on the left. It can be balanced by writing 2 before FeCl₃ as shown below:

3K₂CO₃ + 2FeCl₃ -> 6KCl + Fe₂(CO₃)₃

Now the equation is balanced.

Thus, the coefficients are; 3, 2, 6, 1

The following diagram shows various positions of the moon in its orbit around Earth. The image of the moon shows its phase as se

Serga [27]

Answer:

Position D

Explanation:

One fourth of the Moon will be visible from Earth when the Moon is in position D. The reason why this is the right position is that the Moon will be in a position where the majority of its surface that is lighted by the Sun is facing the Sun. On the other hand, the angle is just right that about one quarter of the lighted part of the Moon is also facing the Earth. This will result in a perception from the Earth's view point that the Moon is lighted at one quarter of its surface.
