Mothballs in a clothes closet gradually disappear over time, because their components sublime.

Mothballs are small balls of chemical pesticide and deodorant, sometimes used in closets where clothes are susceptible to damage from mold or moths. Mothballs are usually made of naphthalene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene or camphor. What all the compounds have in common is that they sublime at room temperature. Sublimation is a physical change in which matter changes from the solid to the gas state. Once the components are in the gaseous state, the diffuse, and that's why there are no visible remainings over time.

a sample of carbon dioxide contains 3.8 moles of oxygen atoms, how many moles of carbon dioxide are in the sample?
dedylja [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.9 moles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a compound that is made up of carbon and oxygen elements.

It contains 2 moles of oxygen atoms and 1 mole of carbon atoms

Therefore;

We would say, 1 mole of CO₂ → 2 moles of Oxygen atoms + 1 mole of carbon atoms

Thus;

If a sample of CO₂ contains 3.8 moles of oxygen atoms we could use mole ratio to determine the moles of CO₂

Mole ratio of CO₂ to Oxygen is 1 : 2

Therefore;

Moles of CO₂ = 3.8 moles ÷ 2

                      = 1.9 moles

Hence, the moles of CO₂ present in a sample that would produce 3.8 moles of Oxygen atoms is 1.9 moles
