This coefficient must be placed before KI to balance the equation:

Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + _KI(aq) → PbI₂(s) + KNO₃(aq)

What is 2? 

The balanced equation is:

After trees become darker from pollution, dark moths are better camouflaged than pale moths. This explains why dark moths may produce more offspring.

What is greater reproductive success?

400

These two ions are the spectator ions in the reaction:

Evidence such as redshift and cosmic microwave background radiation supports this explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe.

What is the Big Bang theory?

400

When the same force acts on a 2 kg trolley and a 4 kg trolley, this trolley has twice the acceleration.

What is the 2 kg trolley?
