8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts.  

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Then, taking into account all of the above, you can determine the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 2 H and 1 S

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8  

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

Now you need to start balancing the hydrogen to get the same amount from each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8  

Right side: 16 H and 8 S

<u><em>The balanced reaction is:</em></u>

<u><em>8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈</em></u>

0.0278, how many significant figures
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

There are three significant figures

Explanation:

When counting sig figs you don't count the zeros unless it is between a number greater than zero. The two zeros aren't between the greater numbers so there are only 3.

Which subatomic particles would be found orbiting around the nucleus?
LiRa [457]
An atom consists of three subatomic particles.

In the middle of atom it consists of nucleus which have two subatomic particles. They are protons and neutrons.

And there is a subatomic particle that is found orbiting around the nucleus in an atom, name of that subatomic particle is electron.

Hope this helps!

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

I think it should be C.

Explanation:

Because for a plant to start photosinthesis it need sun (heat is like the sun),water,and stuff that soil is made of (sand and clay) tell me if this is correct

Thanks
