Given a balanced chemical equation it is always possible to determine A)
the physical state of the products and reactants
B)
whether a reaction will or will not take place
C)
the relative number of moles taking part in the reaction
D)
the conditions necessary for the reaction to take place

C)  the relative number of moles taking part in the reaction

Explanation:

From a balanced chemical equation, it is always possible to determine the relative number of moles taking part in a chemical reaction.

The number of moles is the amount of the reacting specie that makes up a chemical reaction.

In balanced chemical equation, the number of moles of reactants and products must be the same. From this understanding, we can determine the amount of reactants and products needed for a chemical reaction to take place.

The population of unionid mussels decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to displace the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase  over the years. the unionid mussel population decreased because  of lack of food.

The reaction 2kalsi3o8 + 2(h+ + hco3-) + h2o  →  al2si2o5(oh)4 + 2k+ + 2hco3- + 4sio2 shows that feldspar kalsi3o8 is chemically altered by hydrolysis to form chalky-looking clay mineral kaolinite al2si2o5(oh)4. the chemical breakdown of potassium feldspar due to exposure to acidic water results to the mineral binding with the water molecule to become kaolinite with silica and potassium and bicarbonate ions in solution.
