Answer:

False

Explanation:

Changing the coefficients is one of the steps of balancing a chemical equation. Changing the subscript changes the compounds being used, while changing the coefficient changes the amount of each compound being used.

Elan Coil [88]

The answer would be:

Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent Plate

This is why:

When two oceanic plates collide, the heavier of the two would subduct or in other words, go under the other plate. When this happens, ocean trenches and volcanic arcs form. The trench forms at the point oceanic plate goes under the other plate. And above the other plate that goes over create volcanic arcs.

A higher amplitude means...?

vekshin1

Answer:

High amplitude is equivalent to loud sounds.

Explanation:

Larger the amplitude, the higher the energy. In sound, amplitude refers to the magnitude of compression and expansion experienced by the medium the sound wave is travelling through. This amplitude is perceived by our ears as loudness.

The boiling points for the homonuclear diatomic molecules in the halogen family are 85 K, 238 K, 332 K, 457 K and 610 K. Which s

patriot [66]

Answer:

$Cl_{2}$ has boiling point of 238 K

Explanation:

Boiling point depends on different intermolecular force such as molecular wight, dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding, ionic attraction force.

Homonuclear diatomic molecules are covalent non-polar molecules and thereby free from dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding and ionic interaction forces.

Hence, boiling point of homonuclear diatomic molecules depends solely on molecular weight.

We know, higher the molecular weight of a molecule, higher will be its boiling point. This phenomenon can be realized in terms of increasing london dispersion force with increase in molecular weight.

Decreasing order of molecular weight of halogen molecules :

$I_{2}$ > $Br_{2}$ > $Cl_{2}$ > $F_{2}$

So, decresing order of boiling point of halogen molecules:

$I_{2}$ > $Br_{2}$ > $Cl_{2}$ > $F_{2}$

Hence $Cl_{2}$ has boiling point of 238 K

Molten gallium reacts with arsenic to form the semiconductor, gallium arsenide, GaAs, used in light-emitting diodes and solar ce

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a) 1.2g of arsenic b) 0.64g of arsenic c) 3.481g of gallium d) 3.806g of gallium e) 2.61g arsenic

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

Ga + As = GaAs, 1:1 mole ratio

a) mass (gallium)/ molar mass of Ga = 4/ 69.723 = 0.0574mol

Mass (arsenic)/ molar mass of As = 5.5/74.9216 = 0.0734, subtracting the moles from each other (knowing already that the ratio is 1:1), arsenic is in excess by 1.2g

b) repeating the procedure (changing the values)

It will be 0.0574 to 0.06593

Arsenic is in excess by 0.00854

0.00854* mass of arsenic (such must be done for the first remaining mole) = 0.64g

c) the mole ratio is 0.0574: 0.00747

Gallium is in excess by 0.05

Mass of excess gallium = 0.05* 69.723 = 3.481g

d) using the mass given, the new ratio is

0.128: 0.0734

Gallium is in excess by 0.054mol

Mass of excess gallium = 0.054*69.723 = 3.806g

e) using the mass again, the new ratio is 0.0574: 0.02,

Gallium is in excess by 0.0374*69.723 = 2.61g
