Given that XeF4 reacts with water to form explosive XeO3, chemists would not handle it near water. However, why would you still not want to work with it on the lab bench, even if there was apparently no water around?

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)

Which is true concerning the products and reactants of photosynthesis and cellular respiration? a. the products of photosynthesis are sugars and the reactants of cellular respiration are starches. b. the products of photosynthesis are reactants in cellular respiration. c. oxygen is needed for photosynthesis and is given off in cellular respiration.
