there are 2 copper atoms on the left side of the arrow, but none on the other side. there are also 7 oxygen atoms on the left hand side, but only 5 on the right hand side of the arrow.
Answer:
Without corals, the algae are not protected and cannot perform photosynthesis.
Carbon has a tendency to form covalent bonds.
Given equation:
P + O2 → P2O5
In order for the equation to be balanced, the stoichiometry of the atoms of one kind on the reactant side must be equal to that on the product
Reactants Products
P = 1 P = 2
O = 2 O = 5
The balanced equation would be:
4P + 5O2 → 2P2O5
Reactants Products
P = 4 P = 4
O = 10 O = 10
Ans: D)
