Hey there!
Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂
Balance PO₄.
1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.
Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂
Balance H.
6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.
Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Balance Ca.
1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.
3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Our final balanced equation:
3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Hope this helps!
Gain or lose.
The exchange of electrons in chemical bonding seeks to fulfill the octet rule. There are some exceptions, such as with hydrogen and helium, whose valence shells have a capacity of two electrons.
Answer:
Explanation: There are 2 moles of C6H12O6 in 300 g C6H12O6 , rounded to one significant figure.
Answer:
If it loses 2 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be 2+
If the atom instead gains 4 electrons, the net charge will be 4-
Explanation:
It is based on adding and subtracting charges. Protons are +1 and electrons are -1
If the atom has 9 protons and 9 electrons, the net charge is +9 + (-9) = 0. The +9 is the 9 protons and the -9 is from the 9 electrons.
If two electrons are taken away, there would be 9-2 or 7 electrons with 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-7) = +2. +9 comes from the 9 electrons and -7 is from the 7 electrons.
So, if two electrons are taken away, the net charge is +2.
Similarly, if the atom gains 4 electrons, there will be 9+4 or 12 electrons and 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-12) = -4. +9 comes from the 9 protons and -12 comes from the 12 electrons.
So, if 4 electrons are added, the net charge is -4.
