Oduvanchick [21]2 years ago

Explanation:

First write down the basic chemical equation with the reactants and products,

\text{P}_4+\text{ Cl}_2\to\text{ PCl}_3

Balancing the chemical equation*,

\text{P}_4 (s) + 6 \text{Cl}_2 (g) \to 4 \text{PCl}_3 (l)

\color{blue}\text{Note: To balance any chemical equations, we should ensure the number of atoms of each elements are the same on both the product and reactant side.}

\color{blue}\text{The phosphorous molecule has 4 P, but the }\text{PCl}_3\text{ molecule on the product side only has one P atom. Therefore, we need 4 }\text{PCl}_3\text{ molecules to balance.}

\color{blue}\text{But that will mean we have }4\cdot 3=12\text{Cl atoms on the product side. So we need 6 }\text{Cl}_2 \text{ molecules on the reactant side.}

Answer: The gas generated by two antacid tablets has a smaller volume.

Explanation:

Since the antiacid is the limiting reagent, we know that the more tablets there are, the more gas there will be.

This means that there will be more gas generated by the four antiacid tablets when compared to the two antiacid tablets, which gives us that the gas generated by the two antiacid tablets has a smaller volume.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

yes  it can  λ =265  nm

Explanation:

Here we will use  the relationship

   E = h c/λ  ∴   λ  = E/ hc  where

                                          h= Plank's constant

                                           c= Speed of light

                                           λ = Wavelength = ?

Substituting

note need E in J ,

E = 4.7 eV x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/eV = 7.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

λ = 7.5 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ J / (  6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js x 3 x 10^8) =  2.65 x 10⁻⁷ m = 2.65

=  2.65 x 10⁻⁷ m x 1 x 10⁹ nm/m = 265 nm

Explain how a sedimentary rock forms. Include all the words in the chart.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.Apr 4, 2017
