The correct answer is answer choice C, three. In the formula Ca3 (P O4)2, there are 3 atoms of calcium (Ca), 2 atoms of phosphorus (P), and 8 atoms of oxygen (O). You can tell this by looking at the subscripts (or numbers, in this case, since you can't type subscripts). The subscript applies to the number directly beside it. Furthermore, if you have parentheses with a number beside it, just distribute. In this problem, we have (P O4)2.

(P O4) 2   Given
P2 O8   Distribute
We now have 2 atoms of phosphorus and 8 atoms of oxygen. 

This problem has decided to be nice and just ask for calcium, so we don't have to distribute. All you have to do for this problem is look at the subscript beside Ca, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Strike441 [17]
The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.

1. <u>1 - 2 - 1 - 2</u>

2. <u>2 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 1</u>

3. <u>2 - 4 - 1</u>

4. <u>2 - 4 - 3</u>

5. <u>2 - 2 - 2 - 1</u>

6. <u>1 - 1 - 1</u>

7. <u>2 - 1 - 2</u>

8. <u>3 - 1 - 2 - 3</u>

9. <u>3 - 1 - 2 - 3</u>

10. <u>2 - 1 - 1 - 1</u>

Explanation:

To balance this equations first count how many times an element is on each side and then see what needs to be changed in order to balance them.

Rectify the following equation 101 - 102 = 1 by moving just one digit
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Make 2 in 102 as the power of 10

10^2 = 100

101 - 10^2 = 101 - 100 = 1

Hope it helped:)

Consider the reaction. How many grams of carbon should be burned in an excess of oxygen at STP to obtain 2.21 L of carbon dioxid
MissTica

You must burn 1.17 g C to obtain 2.21 L CO₂ at STP.

The balanced chemical equation is

C + O₂ → CO₂.

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>litres of CO₂ to moles of CO₂</em>.

STP is <em>0 °C and 1 bar</em>. At STP the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas is 22.71 L.

Moles of CO₂ = 2.21 L CO₂ × (1 mol CO₂/22.71 L CO₂) = 0.097 31 mol CO₂

<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of C:CO₂ to <em>convert moles of CO₂ to moles of C </em>

Moles of C = 0.097 31mol CO₂ × (1 mol C/1 mol CO₂) = 0.097 31mol C

<em>Step 3</em>. Use the molar mass of C to <em>calculate the mass of C </em>

Mass of C = 0.097 31mol C × (12.01 g C/1 mol C) = 1.17 g C

It looks as if you are using the <em>old (pre-1982) definition</em> of STP. That definition gives a value of 1.18 g C.
