<u>Answer:</u> The coefficients for balancing the given chemical equation are 2, 7, 4 and 6

<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 the reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The given balanced chemical equation follows:

2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 4

Number of hydrogen atoms = 12

Number of oxygen atoms = 14

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 4

Number of hydrogen atoms = 12

Number of oxygen atoms = 14

Hence, the coefficients for balancing the given chemical equation are 2, 7, 4 and 6

kirill [66]

Answer:

option b. B3+

Explanation:

Boron takes the 5th position on the periodic table, therefore it has 5 electrons....2 on the inside and 3 on the outside. when it lost it 3 external electrons, it become positively charged with the amount of electron it loses.

1. What process occurs along transform fault plate boundary?​
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Along the third type of plate boundary, two plates move laterally and pass each other along giant fractures in Earth's crust. Transform faults are so named because they are linked to other types of plate boundaries. The majority of transform faults link the offset segments of oceanic ridges.

Carbon reacts with steam (h2o) at high temperatures to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. if 2 mol of carbon are exposed to 3
Ne4ueva [31]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
C + H₂O ---> H₂ + CO
stoichiometry of C to H₂O is 1:1
1 mol of C reacts with 1 mol of H₂O
we need to find which is the limiting  reactant
2 mol of C and 3.1 mol of H₂O
therefore C is the limiting reactant and H₂O is in excess.
stoichiometry of C to H₂ is 1:1
then number of H₂ moles formed are equal to C moles reacted
number of H₂ moles formed = 2 mol
