Answer:

The answer to your question is " 3 "

Explanation:

Equation = ?

Phosphoric acid = H₃PO₄

Calcium hydroxide = Ca(OH)₂

This is an acid base reaction because there is an exchange of hydrogens.

Reaction

                   H₃PO₄   +   Ca(OH)₂   ⇒   Ca₃(PO₄)₂  +   H₂O

Balance

                             Reactants      Elements      Products

                                  1                       P                    2

                                  1                      Ca                   3

                                  5                     H                     2

                                  6                     O                    9

The reaction is unbalanced

               <u>    2H₃PO₄   +   </u><u>3</u><u>Ca(OH)₂   ⇒   Ca₃(PO₄)₂  +   6H₂O</u>

Balance

                             Reactants      Elements      Products

                                  2                      P                    2

                                  3                      Ca                  3

                                 12                     H                    6

                                 14                     O                    14

Now, the reaction is balanced, the coefficient of Calcium hydroxide is 3

A 445N student eats 50g of Pringles. They feel guilty and decide to climb up some stairs to make up for it. How many flights of
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

808

Step-by-step explanation:

One serving of Original Pringles = 28 g           = 150 Cal  

Pringles  ⟶ Cal     50 g × (150 Cal/28 g)          = 268 Cal

Cal ⟶ J                  268 Cal × (4184 J/1 Cal)      = 1.121 × 10⁶ J

J ⟶ N·m                 1.121 × 10⁶ J × (1 N·m/1 J)      = 1.121 × 10⁶ N·m

N·m ⟶ m                1.126 × 10⁶ N·m/455N         = 2460 m

m ⟶ km                 2460 m × (1 km/1000 m)     = 2.46 km

km ⟶ mi                2.46 km × (0.6214 mi/1 km) = 1.53 mi

mi ⟶ ft                   1.53 mi ×(5280 ft/1 mi)         = 8080 ft

ft ⟶ flights             8080 ft × (1 flight/10 ft)        = 808 flights

The student would have to climb 808 flights of stairs to burn off the energy from 50 g of Pringles [that's equivalent to climbing the stairs in the Salesforce Tower (1070 ft) in San Francisco about 7½ times].

The number placed in front of a compound to balance a chemical reaction is called
masha68 [24]

Answer: <em>The number placed in front of a compound to balance a chemical reaction is called </em><em><u>coefficient</u></em>.

Explanation:

Assume this general form for a <em>chemical equation</em>:

  • <em>a</em>A + <em>b</em>B → <em>c</em>C + <em>d</em>D

The letters <em>a, b, c, </em>and <em>d,</em> in front of each compound A, B, C, and D, are called coefficients and indicate the number of formula units (molecules or ions) that take part in the equation.

Those coefficients are needed to <em>balance the equation</em> and ensure compliance with the law of mass conservation.

This example shows it:

  • Word equation: hydrogen + oxygen yields water

  • Chemical equation: H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O(g)

  • Balance, adding the coefficients so that the number of each kind of atoms is the same on the left and the right of the chemical equation:

        H₂ (g) + 2O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

In that equation:

  • The coefficient of H₂ (g) on the left is 1 (it is not written)
  • The coefficient of O₂(g) on the left is 2
  • The coefficient of H₂O(g) on the right is 2

You read it as: 1 mole of gaseous hydrogen and 2 moles of gaseous oxygen yield 2 moles of water vapor.
