13.29 X $10^{21}$ moles of NaCl are in a pinch of salt and a pinch of salt has

approximately 3.29x $10^{21}$ formula units of NaCl.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12; its symbol is “mol”.

We know that 1 formula unit of sodium chloride has a molar mass of 58.44g/mol

Hence;

Mass of 1 formula unit = 58.44g

Mass of 3.29 x $10^{21}$ formula units

13.29 x $10^{21}$ x 58.44g

776.6676 x $10^{21}$

Moles = $\frac{776.6676 X 10^{21} }{ 58.44g}$

Moles = 13.29 X $10^{21}$

Therefore;

13.29 X $10^{21}$ moles of NaCl are in a pinch of salt.

Which of these has the highest h+ concentration? lemon juice, ph = 2.3 red wine, ph = 3.2 tomato juice, ph = 4.7 household ammon

BartSMP [9]

Lemon juice has the highest h+ concentration. The more acidic something is the more H+ it has.

ph = 1 is the most acidic
ph = 14 is the most basic (opposite of acidic... think of soap.)

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...
C7H16+11O2--->7CO2+8H2O
