Answer: 
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced equation will be:
Answer:- 0.88
Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.
mass percent of Ag = 
Mass of Ag = 17.6 g
mass of Cu = 2.40 g
mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g
Let's plug in the values in the formula:
mass percentage of Ag = 
mass percentage of Ag = 88%
So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.
Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
Answer: it’s a I believe
Explanation: protons are smaller then atoms which means they have less mass
Answer:
The anser is C
Explanation:
This is because the fungi and bacteria are the decomposer, and their job is to decompose dead organism.
