Answer:

Coefficient

Explanation:

We can explain this discarting options too. Now, let's write again the chemical equation;

C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(l)

In a chemical equation, we have two sides. The left side we have the reactants of the reaction, these can be elements or compounds that reacts between each other, to produce another compound or substance. This compounds or elements are on the right side of the reaction. This side we have the products of the reaction of reactants.

Now, as in every situation of life, we need a balance of reactants and products, so, the only way to balance a chemical equation is by putting numbers behind every compound of the reactant and/or products to equal the number of atoms on each side. So if in the reactants we have 3 atoms of C, in the products we need to have the same 3 atoms.

Based on the above explanation, we can say that the number 4 is behind the H2O. This compound is on the side of products, but the number only, do not represent a product, so this option can be discarted.

A reactant cannot be either, cause it's not on the side of reactant.

Chemical formula, could be, if the number were as subscript, but it's not the case, and the chemical formula is composed of symbols.

Finally, as the number that we put behind the compounds work to balance the equation, the only function that these numbers have here, is to be coefficients of the reactions, and furthermore, it will work as mole.

So the correct option is the third one, Coefficient.

Can somebody help me with this also plz

just olya [345]

ANSWER:

4 a) Specific elements have more than one oxidation state, demonstrating variable valency.

For example, the following transition metals demonstrate varied valence states: $Fe^{2+}$ , $Fe^{3+}$ , $Cr^{2+}, Cr^{3+}$ , etc.

Normal metals such as $Pb^{2+} and Pb^{4+}$ also show variable valencies. Certain non-metals are also found to show more than one valence state $Pb^{3+} and Pb^{5+}.$

4 b) Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

For example, Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon, having six protons and eight neutrons in the nucleus. However, C-14 does not last forever and there will come a time when it loses its extra neutrons and becomes Carbon-12.

5 a) $2Fe + 3Cl_2$ → $2FeCl_3$

5 b) $3Pb + 8HNO_3$ → $3Pb (NO_3)_2 + 4H_2O + 2NO_2$

5 c) $Zn + H_2SO_4$ → $ZnSO_4 + H_2$ (already balanced so don't need to change)

5 d) $2H_2 + O_2$ → $2H_2O$

5 e) $2Mg + 2HCl$ → $2MgCl + H_2$

EXPLANATION (IF NEEDED):

1. Write out how many atoms of each element is on the left (reactant side) and right (product side) of the arrow.

2. Start multiplying each side accordingly to try to get atoms of the elements on both sides equal.

The average rate of consumption of br− is 1.86×10−4 m/s over the first two minutes. what is the average rate of formation of br2

Scorpion4ik [409]

By considering the reaction equation is:
5Br(aq)+BrO3(aq)+6H(aq)= 3Br2(aq)+3H2O(l)
when the average rate of consumption of Br = 1.86x10^-4 m/s
So from the reaction equation
5Br → 3Br2 when we measure the average rate of formation (X) during the same interval So,
∴ 1.86x10^-4/5 = X / 3
∴X = 1.1 x 10^-4 m/s
∴the average rate of formation of Br2 = 1.1x10^-4 m/s

Why is this flower able to self-pollinate

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A flower is self-pollinated if pollen is transferred to it from any flower of the same plant and cross-pollinated if the pollen comes from a flower on a different plant.

Explanation:

This is because each flower is capable of fertilizing itself by autogamy. Autogamy means that the male part of a flower sends pollen to the female part of the same flower.

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?

Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.
