Answer:

Water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. This has to do with the polarity of each water molecule. The hydrogen side of each water (H2O) molecule carries a slight positive electric charge, while the oxygen side carries a slight negative electric charge.

A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of...

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) conservation of matter

Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.

A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.

For example:

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$

Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol

Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol

As,

Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side

Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2 }}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{Moles of Cu(OH)}_{2} = \text{23.45 g Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{97.562 g Cu(OH)}_{2}} = \\\\\text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}$

2. Calculate the molecules of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}\\\\= 1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}\\\text{The sample contains $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.447 \times 10^{23}}\textbf{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$

I need help what is s-1/3=7/9???? please help guys and thank you

nalin [4]

Answer:

10/9

Explanation:

First, let's convert 1/3 and 7/9 so that the have the same denominator. To do this let's find the least common multiple of 3 and 9.

List the multiples of 3 and 9:

3: 3, 9

9: 9

They have a least common multiple of 9

We need to convert 1/3 so it has a denominator of 9:

1/3*3/3 (we can multiply it by 3/3 because any number over itself is 1) = 3/9

s-3/9=7/9

Add 3/9 to both sides to isolate s

s=10/9
