D) Strontium phosphate reacts with sulfuric acid to form strontium sulfate and phosphoric acid. What is the coefficient for sulfuric acid when the equation is balanced using the lowest, whole-numbered coefficients?

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) none of these

Explanation / Answer

The word thermal implies heat or temperature. Therefore thermal energy is

A) energy associated with the temperature of an object

Which should give the least vigorous reaction when dropped in water?

All the metals in the options are Group 1 metals. Group 1 metals become more reactive towards water as we go down the group. Lithium tops the group, hence its the least reactive.

A) Li

Which should give the most vigorous reaction when dropped in water?

B) Patassium (K) should give the most vigorous reaction when dropped in water

The balance reaction between Strontium phosphate and sulfuric acid is as follows,

Sr3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 ----> 3SrSO4 + 2H3PO4

We can see that the coefficient for H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is 3

C) 3
