Answer:
There are two sets of groups in the periodic table. The first set are Group A elements and are also known as representative elements. The second set are Group B elements and are also known as transition metals. Representative elements are the most abundant elements on earth.
Make a quick chart with each element represented, and count them up. HINT - leave the polyatomic anions together - in this case, PO4
Left Right
1 Ca 3
2 O 1
5 H 2
1 PO4 2
Begin by balancing like finding common denominators of fractions - apply to both sides:
I started by adding a 2 in front of H3PO4 on the left, them 6 in front of H2O on the right. Last, a 3 in front of Ca (OH)2. Then, re-count using the chart format to make sure you're right.
3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 = Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
1. Observation-- making observations and taking notes about what you see, smell, hear, think, etc.
2. Question-- developing a question to test your observations.
3. Hypothesis-- creating an educated guess as to the answer of your question.
Answer:
2.08 moles (3 s.f.)
Explanation:
number of moles
= number of atoms ÷ Avogadro's constant
Avogadro's constant= 6.022 ×10²³
Thus, number of moles
= 1.25×10²⁴ ÷ (6.022 ×10²³)
= 2.08 moles (3 s.f.)
