A 20.0 gram sample of an element contains 4.95 x 1023 atoms. what is the element?

You will want to find how many grams are in a whole mole so you know which element it is. To do this, find out how much of a mole you have.

4.95 x 10^23 atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms (one whole mole of any element) = .8219860511 or ~82% of 1 mole

Now we know that, find what to multiply 20 g by to get the rest of the mole.

1 mole / .8219860511 mole = 1.216565657

20 g x 1.216565657 = ~24.33 g / mol

Now that you have grams per mole, you can look at the periodic table and the molar masses to see which this number is closely aligned.

Your answer is Magnesium (Mg), which has a molar mass of 24.305 g

Create a comic strip that follows the journey of energy from the sun as it travels through the humpback whale

Arisa [49]

The path of energy flow from the sun to the humpback whale is as follows:

Sun---> Plankton ---> Small fishes ---> Humpback whale.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy is the ability to do work.

The primary source of energy on the earth is the sun.

The energy from the sun is used by producers to produce food on which other organisms depend on.

The energy from the sun gets to the humpback whale through producers such as plankton.

The path of energy flow from the sun to the humpback whale is as follows:

Sun---> Plankton ---> Small fishes ---> Humpback whale.

Calculate the enthalpy for this reaction: 2C(s) + H2(g) ---> C2H2(g) ΔH° = ??? kJ Given the following thermochemical equation

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The enthalpy for given reaction is 232 kilo Joules.

Explanation:

$C_2H_2(g) + \frac{5}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g) + H_2O(l), \Delta H^o_{1} = -1,123 kJ$ ...[1]

$C(s) + O_2(g)\rightarrow CO2(g), \Delta H^o_{2} = -340 kJ$ ..[2]

$H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l) ,\Delta H^o_{3} = -211 kJ$ ..[3]

$2C(s) + H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g),\Delta H^o_{4} =?$ ..[4]

2 × [2] + [3] - [1] ( Using Hess's law)

$\Delta H^o_{4}=2\times \Delta H^o_{2}+\Delta H^o_{3} - \Delta H^o_{1}$

$\Delta H^o_{4}=2\times (-340 kJ) + (-211 kJ) - (-1,123 kJ)$

$\Delta H^o_{4}=232 kJ$

The enthalpy for given reaction is 232 kilo Joules.

Balancing chemical equations

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

2B2 + 3O2 → 2B2O3

Explanation:

Balance The Equation: B2 + O2 = B2O3

1. Label Each Compound With a Variable

aB2 + bO2 = cB2O3

2. Create a System of Equations, One Per Element

B: 2a + 0b = 2c

O: 0a + 2b = 3c

3. Solve For All Variables (using substitution, gauss elimination, or a calculator)

a = 2

b = 3

c = 2

4. Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

2B2 + 3O2 = 2B2O3

L R

B: 4 4 ✔️

O: 6 6 ✔️
