Р + 02 = P4O6 balance the equation

Chemistry

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 :)

Do all organisms have organs? Explain
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

No, there are some organisms that only have one cell, although there are organ systems that are made up of many cells. Not all organisms have organ systems.

Explanation:

For example, the Trichoplax. It is an animal with no organs that is tiny and multicellular, and only feeds on microalgae. A Trichoplax are flat organisms about a millimetre in diameter with no internal structures and typically have two cellular layers. These organisms live in the oceans and seas all around the world but are not necessarily found in their natural habitat, more so in captivity such as a marine aquarium. Trichoplax are found to live in symbiosis with such things as bacteria and others in the oceans and seas.

The correct order given below shows the changes that occurs in a mice population in response to changes in their environment:

  • The population of mice is in an environment with many black rocks
  • Mice with black for are more likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
  • After many generations, most of the mice in the population have black fur
  • A sandstorm covers most of the population's environment with brown sand
  • Mice with black fur are less likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
  • After many generations, most of the mice in the population have brown fur

<h3>What is the correct order for natural selection in the desert environment given?</h3>

Based on the process of natural selection due to envrionmental pressures, the population of the mice in the desert changes as follows before and after the environmental change:

  • The population of mice is in an environment with many black rocks
  • Mice with black for are more likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
  • After many generations, most of the mice in the population have black fur
  • A sandstorm covers most of the population's environment with brown sand
  • Mice with black fur are less likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
  • After many generations, most of the mice in the population have brown fur

Therefore, the correct order shows the changes that occurs in a mice population in response to changes in their environment.
