Anestetic [448]3 years ago
3 0
The balanced equation will be:
6Mg + P(sub 4) -> 2Mg(sub 3)P(sub 2)
On the right side your Magnesium is 2*3 which equals 6, hence the 6 in front of the Magnesium on the left side. Your Phosphorus on the right side is 2*2 which equals 4, so you do not need another number in front of the Phosphorus on the left side. I hope you have a great day and I hope I helped the understanding behind balancing formulas!!

How many molecules are in 20.2 moles of CO₂?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1.22 x 10²⁵ molecules CO₂

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules, you need to multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's Number. Avogadro's Number is a ratio which represents the amount of molecules per every 1 mole. It is important to arrange this ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (since you are going from moles to molecules, moles should be in the denominator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs like the given value.

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

 20.2 moles CO₂           6.022 x 10²³ molecules
---------------------------  x  --------------------------------------  = 1.22 x 10²⁵ molecules
                                                     1 mole

A sample obtained from the national bureau of standards had a calibrated weight of 20.000. When it was used tocalibrate a studen
melisa1 [442]

Answer : The measurements are both precise and accurate.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

When the level of precision is very very less, the measurement can be considered as most precise and most accurate.

As we are given the standard value of the sample is 20.000 and the values measured by the balance are, 19.995, 20.005, 20.001.

Since these three values are in the range of +/- 0.005 from one another. So, we can say that the measurements are both precise and accurate.

Hence, the measurements are both precise and accurate.
