General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Compounds
- Moles
<u>Stoichiometry</u>
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[Given] 993.6 g K₂SO₄
[Solve] moles K₂SO₄
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[PT] Molar Mass of K: 39.10 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of S: 32.07 g/mol
[PT] Molar mass of O: 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of K₂SO₄: 2(39.10) + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 174.27 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
- [DA] Set up:

- [DA] Divide [Cancel out units]:

<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 4 sig figs.</em>
5.7015 mol K₂SO₄ ≈ 5.702 mol K₂SO₄
An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle, whereas a proton is positively charged, and a neutron has no charge.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Since ice is less dense than water, it floats. This forms an ice cover sheet in cold regions such as in the poles. This insulates the water beneath from excessive heat loss hence preventing it from turning into ice too, This protects the marine life beneath. Also, water does not gain heat or loss it rapidly (due to its high heat capacity) hence offering a more or stable temperature range for marine life.
