The key in the balancing of chemical reaction is to make sure that you got the exact chemical formula of the substance that is reacting and the yielded product. After getting the formula, identify first the hardest element/atom to be balanced such as Na, Zn, Cl, etc. Then proceed to the easier ones such as O, H. Make sure to not the atoms present in the molecule of the substance. For example Al(s) + HCl(aq) à AlCl3(aq) + H2(g). the hardest element here is the Cl. Observe that there are 3Cls in the product side so add 3 to the HCl. However, it would not balance the H2 in the product side so you increase the addition to AlCl3, add 2. Now you have 6 atoms of Cl, add this to the reactant side, you get 6HCl. Since you have 6Hs, add 3 to H2 (3 multiplied by 2 gives 6). Then Al has 2 atoms in the product side, add 2 to the reactant side. The balance chemical reaction is 2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) à 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g).

Hunting deer can be considered resource extraction. It involves the loss of biodiversity.

<h3>What does resource extraction mean?</h3>

Resource extraction refers to the usage of fundamental resources (biodiversity resources) from the environment.

Hunting deer is considered a resource extraction activity because this activity involves the loss of biodiversity.

Biodiversity is a fundamental issue for the health (homeostasis state) of the whole ecosystem.

During a reaction, the enthalpy of formation of an intermediate is 34 kJ/mol.

galina1969 [7]

Since the enthalpy can be calculated from the heat of formation, the enthalpy is 136 kJ/mol.

<h3>What is enthalpy?</h3>

The enthalpy of a reaction is the heat that is lost or gained in that reaction. We know that the enthalpy can be calculated from the heat of formation.

Thus, we can obtain the enthalpy of the reaction as 4 * 34 kJ/mol = 136 kJ/mol.

Doss [256]

The formula or chemical formula of a compound is same irrespective of source / mode of synthesis . Thus if a sample of compound has one carbon atom for every two atoms of oxygen (CO2), the formula will remains the same

So the answer is that for all other samples the compound X should hold this ration true.
