Answer:

Five molecules of oxygen.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the given chemical reaction, we must write a five before the oxygen in order to equal the number of oxygen atoms at both the right and left side (ten) so phosphorous remain the same (4):

P_4(s) + 5 O_2(g)\rightarrow  P_4O_{10}(s)

It means that five molecules of oxygen (O₂) are needed to form one molecule of tetraphosphorous decaoxide (P₄O₁₀).

Best regards.

the elements iron and oxygen can react to form the compound iron oxide. what type of reaction is this? please explain.
rjkz [21]
Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)

#1: Which of the following is the abbreviation for a unit of energy? A. K / B. °C/ C. W / D. cal............... #2: A 200 g bloc
stealth61 [152]
Among the choices, the unit of energy is calories. Answer in 1) is D. In 2) we are given with te mass , heat and temperature change. we just need to get the heat capacity and compare it with the following metals. The calculated heat capacity is 0.46 kJ/kg K. The answer is A. iron. In 3) we can compute the heat absorbed by the formula ΔH=mCpΔT. Cp of water is 4.18 J/g K. Answer of 3) is D. In 4) the formula used in Cp=ΔH/mΔT. Answer in 4) is A. The heat of enthalpy of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g. We convert this to J/g. Answer  in 5) is B.334 J/g.
