When elemental boron, B, is burned in oxygen gas, the product is diboron trioxide. If the diboron trioxide is then reacted with

a measured quantity of water, it reacts with the water to form what is commonly known as boric acid, B(OH)3. Write a balanced chemical equation for each of these processes. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter in your answer.)

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.  

The chemical equation for the reaction of elemental boron and oxygen gas follows:

4B+3O_2\rightarrow 2B_2O_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of elemental boron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of diboron trioxide.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and water follows:

B_2O_3+3H_2O\rightarrow 2H_3BO_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of diboron trixoide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 2 moles of boric acid.

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.

An iron has a net charge of 3+. If this job has 8 protons, how many electrons does it have
kati45 [8]

Answer:

5 electrons

Explanation:

When an atom loses are gain the electrons ions are formed.

There are two types of ions.

Anion

Cation

1 = Anion

It is formed when an atom gain the electrons. when atom gain electron negative charge is created on atom. For example.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

2= Cation

It is formed when an atom loses the electrons. when atom lose electron positive charge is created on atom. For example.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

When an atom loses three electrons +3 charge is created. If this atom have 8 protons it means there were 8 electrons too. When it lost three electrons then remaining number of electrons are 5.

X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻

Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums.<br><br><br> T<br> F
Mariana [72]

The answer is true

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light.The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.
