Answer: B) The fireworks give off heat
The reaction is given as
Fe2O3 (s)+ 3CO(g)--->3CO2(g)+ 2Fe(s)
No.of moles=mass in gram/molar mass
As for Fe mole =156.2g/55.847=2.7969~2.797
The ratio b/w CO and Fe is 3:2
Moles of CO needed= 2.797x3/2=4.1955
Mass of CO needed= 4.195mol x 28.01g/mol= 117.515g
Answer: assume pathogens are present and treat the samples accordingly
Explanation:
When investigators are unable to conclusively ascertain the source of a biological sample found at a crime scene, the correct thing to do is to treat it as if pathogens are present in it and handle it according to set rules on how to handle pathogens.
This is done to ensure that if a pathogen is indeed present, it would not cause a health emergency by infecting those who come in contact with the samples at the scene.
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
