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.

Water vapor changing to liquid water
kiruha [24]

Explanation:

When water vapour changes to liquid water then this process is known as condensation.

For example, when lid is placed in a hot water filled pan then after sometime vapours appear on the surface of lid. When temperature of water decreases then water vapours convert into liquid form.

Thus, we can conclude that in condensation water vapor changes to liquid water.

Choose the correct statement regarding the behavior of water.Group of answer choicesThe heat capacity of liquid water is greater
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The water phase with the smallest temperature increase when adding 10 kcal of heat is solid ice.

Explanation:

The rest of the statements are incorrect. The density of ice is lower than the density of water. The heat capacity of solid ice is greater almost twice the heat capacity of the liquid water. The heat capacity of vapors is less than heat capacity of liquid.

The principal that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and that an object in motion will stay in motion is the law o
Bogdan [553]

Answer: <em>Newton's first law</em>

Explanation: <em>The idea that objects only change their velocity due to a force is encapsulated in Newton's first law. Newton's first law: An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.</em>
