Answer:

Burning of the candle is both physical and chemical change. Burning of the candle melts the wax and hence physical state of wax has changed from solid to liquid.  

Again the wax combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide, heat and light.  

Thus both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.

Explanation:

hope this helps!

How many grams of oxygen can be produced from the decomposition of 100. g of kclo3?
aivan3 [116]
<span>100 g of KClO3 @ 122.55 g/mol = 0.816 moles of KClO3
   by the reaction
 2 KClO3 --> 2 KCl & 3 O2

   0.816 moles of KClO3 @ 3 moles O2 / 2 moles KClO3 = 1.224 moles of O2 can be made using molar mass
 1.224 moles of O2 @ 32.0 g/mol =
 39.2 grams of O2 can be made</span>

Part B Now that we have put a coefficient of 3 in front of CaSO4, what coefficient should go in front of CaCl2 to balance calciu
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The coefficient must be 3.

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.

CaSO_4+AlCl_3\rightarrow CaCl_2+Al_2(SO_4)_3

The number of atoms of each element has to be same on both sides, thus the balanced chemical reaction will be:

3CaSO_4+2AlCl_3\rightarrow 3CaCl_2+Al_2(SO_4)_3

Thus a coefficient of 3 should go in front of CaCl_2 to balance calcium (Ca).
