As Fire needs oxygen to burn, Carbon Dioxide Covers the fire like an blanket and cuts the contact of fire to the oxygen present in the air, So Fire stops burning.That is why Carbon Dioxide is Considere as the best Fire Extinguisher.

Answer:Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing oxygen, or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle. The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well

What is the weighted average of a nail in the sample data given?
Natalka [10]

The weighted average of the nail in accordance with the given data is 11.176g.

<h3>How to calculate weighted average?</h3>

Weighted average is an arithmetic mean of values biased according to agreed weightings.

The weighted average of the nail in the image above can be calculated by multiplying the decimal abundance with the mass of the nail, then summed up as follows;

Weighted average = (decimal abundance × mass 1) + (decimal abundance × mass 2)

Weighted average = (0.12 × 3.3) + (0.88 × 12.25)

Weighted average = 0.396 + 10.78

Weighted average = 11.176g

Therefore, 11.176g is the weighted average of the nail

Which net ionic equation would match this description of a chemical reaction: When a
krok68 [10]

Answer:

3Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2PO_{4}^{3-}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)

Explanation:

Mg(NO_{3})_{2}, Na_{3}PO_{4} are strong electrolytes. Hence they are fully ionized in aqueous solution.

Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} is a sparingly soluble salt. Hence it remains undissociated in aqueous solution.

So, total ionic equation:

3Mg^{2+}(aq.)+6NO_{3}^{-}(aq.)+6Na^{+}(aq.)+2PO_{4}^{3-}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6Na^{+}(aq.)+6NO_{3}^{-}(aq.)

Net ionic equation is written by omitting spectator ions from total ionic equation.

Here, Na^{+} and NO_{3}^{-} ions are spectator ions as they remain present on both side of total ionic equation.

So, net ionic equation:

3Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2PO_{4}^{3-}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)

So, option (d) is correct.
