The answer is:  [B]:  " 2 " .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
Given the chemical equation:
____________________________________

     <u> ? </u> H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂<span>O   ;
____________________________________________
</span>      → <span> We are asked, "What coefficient, if any — should be put in front of the:  " H</span>₂ " ;
__________________________________________________
          (which is on the "left-hand side" side of the chemical equation given—      the "reactants") ;

     →  to get a balanced chemical equation?
__________________________________________________
 →  Let us examine the "right-hand side" of this chemical equation—the product(s).  In this case, the "product" given is:  " 2 H₂O " .  

So, on the "right hand side", we have:
__________________________________________________
     1)  4 "H's" → {Two "H₂" 's = 2 * 2 = "4 H's"} ;  <u><em>and</em></u>:
     2)  2 "O's" → { Two "O's").
__________________________________________________
   So, the left-hand side should have:
__________________________________________________
     1)  4 "H's" ;  <u><em>and</em></u>:
     2)  2 "O's" ;
__________________________________________________
Let us examine the left-hand side (the "reactants").
__________________________________________________
                  " <u> ? </u><u /> H₂  +  O₂ " ; 
__________________________________________________
On the left-hand side, we already have: 
__________________________________________________
     1)   " 2  O's " ;   →  one "O₂" = "2 O's" ;  and:
     2)    "2  H's " ;   →  one "H<span>₂" .</span>

Now, we would need:
__________________________________________________
A "<u>total of "4 H's</u>".  Is there any number we could put as a coefficient on the other reactant, which happens to be:  "H₂" ;  to make a <u><em>total of</em></u> "4 H's" ?          

         {Note: There are only these TWO (2) reactants in this chemical equation.}.  

        → The "H₂" ;  as it stands alone, is insufficient—since that would be only                                                                                         "2 H's".
 __________________________________________________
     →  Thus, we can rule out:  "Answer choices: [A] and [D]."  
___________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:  
→  Choice [A]:  "1" ;  The coefficient, "1";  is generally not (never?) used; and basically would function as the same as:
          →  Choice: [D]:  "<span>no coefficient is needed".
</span>→  <span>Choices [A] & [D]: would leave us with only "2 H's" on the "reactants side" (i.e. "left-hand side of the equation"; and we need FOUR ("4 H's").
__________________________________________________
Since we are given:  "H</span>₂" ; what coefficient could we put in front of this to get:       "4 H's" ?  (4÷2 =2).  So we could put a "2" in front of the "H₂" ; to get: 
    "4 H's".  The coefficient, "2" , corresponds directly with: 
__________________________________________________
                                             → Answer choice:  [B]:  "2" .
_________________________________________________
   { <u>NOTE</u>:  The remaining answer choice, [C], which is, "3" ; is INCORRECT; since 3 "H₂'s" would be "6 H's" ; (since 3 * "2 H's" equal "6 H's") ; which is too many "H's" → We need <u>exactly</u> "4 H's".}.
_________________________________________________
   So, the correctly balanced equation is:

             2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O  ; 
_________________________________________________
     → The coefficient that goes before the "H₂" ; to make this chemical equation balanced, is:  "2" . 
_________________________________________________
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "2" .  

      → The coefficient that goes before the "H₂" is:  "2" .
_________________________________________________
         Hope this answer—and {lengthy} explanation—is of help!

Write a program that has a while loop to print out the first five multiples of 15, 43, and 273 between the numbers of 3168 and 3
Reika [66]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void printmultiples(int n) //function to print first five multiples between 3168 and 376020

{

   int a =3168,c=1;

   cout<<"First five multiples of "<<n<<" are : ";

   while(a%n!=0 && a<=376020) //finding first mutiple of n after 3168.

   {

       a++;

   }

   while(c<6)//printing multiples.

   {

       cout<<a<<" ";

       a+=n;

       c++;

   }

   cout<<endl;

}

int main() {

   int t,n;

   cin>>t;//How many times you want to check.

   while(t--)

   {

       cin>>n;

       printmultiples(n);//function call..

   }

return 0;

}

Input:-

3

15

43

273

Output:-

First five multiples of 15 are : 3180 3195 3210 3225 3240  

First five multiples of 43 are : 3182 3225 3268 3311 3354  

First five multiples of 273 are : 3276 3549 3822 4095 4368

Explanation:

I have used a function to find the first five multiples of the of the numbers.The program can find the first five multiples of any integer between 3168 and 376020.In the function I have used while loop.First while loop is to find the first multiple of the integer n passed as an argument in the function.Then the next loop prints the first five multiples by just adding n to the first multiple.

In the main function t is for the number of times you want to print the multiples.In our case it is 3 Then input the integers whose multiples you want to find.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

public class Book {

   private String title;

   private String author;

   private int yearPublished;

   private long ISBN;

   //The Constructor for all the feilds

   public Book(String title, String author, int yearPublished, long ISBN) {

       this.title = title;

       this.author = author;

       this.yearPublished = yearPublished;

       this.ISBN = ISBN;

   }

   //Mutator methods (set) to Set values of all the fields

   public void setTitle(String title) {

       this.title = title;

   }

   public void setAuthor(String author) {

       this.author = author;

   }

   public void setYearPublished(int yearPublished) {

       this.yearPublished = yearPublished;

   }

   public void setISBN(long ISBN) {

       this.ISBN = ISBN;

   }

   //Accessor Methods (getters) for all the feilds

   public String getTitle() {

       return title;

   }

   public String getAuthor() {

       return author;

   }

   public int getYearPublished() {

       return yearPublished;

   }

   public long getISBN() {

       return ISBN;

   }

}

// The Demo Class creating three instances of this class

class BookDemo{

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Book bookOne = new Book("The Lion and the Princess","David A.",2000,12334556);

       Book bookTwo = new Book ("Me and You", "Jane G.", 2001, 4567342);

       Book bookThree = new Book("together forever", "Baneely H.",2019,34666);

   }

}

Explanation:

  • Please pay attention to the comments provided in the solution
  • Using Java Programming Language
  • The class Book is created with the required fields
  • The constructor is created to initialize the values of the fields
  • Getter methods are created
  • Setter Methods are Created
  • A demo Class BookDemo that creates three objects of the Book class is the created (This can be in the same file as the Book class but cannot start with the keyword public or in a separate file with the keyword public class BookDemo)
  • Inside BookDemo class, three instances of the Book class are created and initialized.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Using personal computers for internet access has various advantages because of the physical attributes of these computers. One of the major reason that it is good for internet access is its large screen. The large screen allows things to be easily viewed and read. Also, personal computers have a keyboard that helps for easy data entry, as opposed to pads, and other types of devices that may have just touch-pad and data entry may be difficult.
