Molecular weight of P (Phosphorous) = 30.97g/mol

Hydrogen is just 1 g/mol.

How many moles is 34g of PH3?

Get the weight of PH3 (30.97 + (3X1)) = 33.97g/mol

So 34g/33.97g/mol = 1.0009 moles.

I bet for this problem it's easier to round this to 1.

If you look at just the moles in the equation:

P4(s) + 6 H2(g) → 4 PH3(g)

1 + 6 → 4

If 1 (P4) gives us 4 (PH3), what gives us 1 (PH3)?

1/4 = x/1

solve for x

An isotope of potassium with a half-life of roughly one billion years is often used in radioactive dating. This isotope decays t

melisa1 [442]

Answer : The chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, (Ar) for argon.

Explanation :

Electron capture : In this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. Simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. Mass number does not change in this process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}$

The equation for the given reaction is,

$_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}$

Thus, the chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, argon (Ar).

How might the biodiversity of a mowed lawn compare to that of huge weedy field?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: The mowed lawn is the one from where the grasses are removed by using the machines or tools.

Explanation:

The mowed lawn is expected to have low number of species as the grasses may be few or scanty thus can support the population of few species like insects, mice, birds, and small number of grazing animals. On the other hand the weedy field can be hub of insects, reptiles like snakes, small mammals, and large mammals. Large weed field can provide food, and habitat to the large number of species. This will support the increase in biodiversity as compared to the mowed lawn.
