Answer:

Only the hydrogen needs to be balanced. There are equal numbers of aluminum and chlorine.

Explanation:

I took the K12 test, listened to some other idiot and got it wrong, so this is the correct one.

Hope this helps!

<u>Answer:</u> Only the hydrogen needs to be balanced. There are equal numbers of aluminum and chlorine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A balanced chemical equation always follow 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.

For the given chemical equation, the balanced reaction follows:

2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 3H_2+2AlCl_3

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of aluminium atoms = 2

Number of hydrogen atoms = 6

Number of chlorine atoms = 6

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of aluminium atoms = 2

Number of hydrogen atoms = 6

Number of chlorine atoms = 6

Hence, only the hydrogen needs to be balanced. There are equal numbers of aluminum and chlorine.

Imagine that Kevin can instantly transport himself between Planet X and Planet Y. Which statement could be said about Kevin in t
Over [174]
What are the choices ? 

Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation.  A few of them might be . . .

-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.

-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.

           -- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).

           -- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.

         -- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)

-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
     if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.

How does air pressure change with altitude?
charle [14.2K]
Air pressure changes with altitude because of issues related to gravity. Molecules have more weight the closer they are to the Earth and more of them move to lower elevations as a result; this causes increased pressure because there are more molecules in number and proximity. Conversely, air at higher elevations has less weight, but also forces pressure on those layers below it, resulting in the molecules closer to the Earth supporting more weight, increasing the pressure
