1. Just like vitamins, minerals help your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. The body uses minerals to perform many different functions, from building strong bones to transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat.

2. Population growth is the increase in the number of people living in a particular area. Since populations can grow exponentially, resource depletion can occur rapidly, leading to specific environmental concerns such as global warming, deforestation and decreasing biodiversity.

Hope this helps.

Three resistors, 21 Ω, 58 Ω, and 64 Ω, are connected in series, and a 0.50-A current passes through them. What are (a) the equiv
adoni [48]
<h2>a) Equivalent resistance is 143 Ω</h2><h2>b) Potential difference is 71.5 V</h2>

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in series, effective resistance is given by

                R_{eff}=R_1+R_2+R_3+......

Here

         R₁ = 21Ω

         R₂ = 58Ω

         R₃ = 64Ω

a)      R_{eff}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_{eff}=21+58+64\\\\R_{eff}=143\Omega

  Equivalent resistance is 143 Ω

b) We know

               Potential difference = Current x Resistance

               V = IR

               I = 0.5 A

               R = 143Ω

Substituting

               V = 0.5 x 143 = 71.5 V

Potential difference is 71.5 V

Question 7 of 25
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2PBr₃ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃ + 3Br₂

2Na + MgCl₂ → 2NaCl + Mg

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is a chemical equation that have an equal number of elements of each type on both sides of the equation

Among the given chemical reactions, we have;

2PBr₃ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃ + 3Br₂

In the above reaction;

The number of phosphorus, P, on either side of the equation = 2

The number of bromine atoms, Br, on either side of the equation = 6

The number of chlorine atoms, Cl, on either side of the equation = 6

Therefore, the number of elements in the reactant side and products side of the reaction are equal and the reaction is balanced

The second balanced chemical reaction is 2Na + MgCl₂ → 2NaCl + Mg

In the above reaction, there are two sodium atoms, Na,  one magnesium atom and two chlorine atoms on both sides of the reaction, therefore, the reaction is balanced
