Р + 02 = P4O6 balance the equation

Chemistry
1 answer:
sergejj [24]2 years ago
3 0

To balance a chemical equation, both sides should have equal mass, or in other words both sides should have same number of atoms as to follow the conservation of mass rule.

P + O₂ = P₄O₆

LHS:

Number of Phosphorus atoms = 1 atom

Number of Oxygen atoms = 2 atoms

RHS:

Number of Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Number of Oxygen atoms = 6 atoms

Also since P₄O₆ has the most number of atoms we will make the LHS equalize to P₄O₆.

Difference between Phosphorous atoms in LHS to RHS = 3

Since phosphorous is a monatomic we need 3 phosphorous atoms extra

Difference between Oxygen atoms is LHS to RHS = 4

But Oxygen is diatomic, so we need 4/2 = 2 Oxygen molecules

Now lets see if it is balanced

P + 3P + O₂ + 2O₂ -------> P₄O₆

               4P + 3O₂ ------>  P₄O₆

LHS:

Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6 atoms

RHS:

Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Oxygen atoms = 6 atoms

LHS = RHS

Therefore the balanced equation is 4P + 3O₂ =  P₄O₆

Happy to help :)

Weight measures
jasenka [17]

Answer: D) The effect of gravity on an object

Explanation: We're not talking about mass, we're talking about weight. Weight is measured by the force of gravity on a object. For examples, you might be 100 pounds on Earth but 12 pounds on the moon.

PLEASE HELP! sketch the structure of the nitrogen-containing product that is formed when ethylamine reacts with water​
Aleksandr [31]

First of all the ethylamine is base so will be react with water to take the proton from the water (H⁺) , because water is amphoteric will react with bases as acid and acids as a base, so the water in this case will react as an acid and will gives the proton to the base.

In the picture you may see the chemical equation and the structure of the products.
