Plz answer thx How many moles are in 2.5 x 10^18 grams of water?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$1.39\times 10^{17}$ moles of water in $2.5\times 10^{18} g$ of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = $m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g$

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = $\frac{m}{M}$

$n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles$

So, there are $1.39\times 10^{17}$ moles of water in $2.5\times 10^{18} g$ of water.

In the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH ->Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, if 6 moles of FeCl2 are added to 6 moles of Na0H, how many moles of NaOH

pogonyaev

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole

Explanation :

Given moles of $FeCl_2$ = 6 moles

Given moles of $NaOH$ = 6 moles

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$FeCl_2+2NaOH\rightarrow Fe(OH)_2+2NaCl$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with 2 moles of $NaOH$

So, 6 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with $\frac{2}{1}\times 6=12$ moles of $NaOH$

From this we conclude that, $FeCl_2$ is an excess reagent and $NaOH$ is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH

The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles

A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the iron has an initial temperatur

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K

Explanation:

Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.

The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold

When silver nitrate reacts with copper, copper(II) nitrate and silver are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

posledela

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

When silver nitrate reacts with copper, copper(II) nitrate and silver are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

$2AgNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

Suppose 6 moles of silver nitrate react. The reaction consumes___ moles of copper. The reaction produces __ moles of copper(II) nitrate and __ moles of silver.

Answer: The amount of copper metal reacted is 3 moles, amount of copper (II) nitrate produced is 3 moles and amount of silver metal produced is 6 moles.

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 6 moles

For the given chemical reaction:

$2AgNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

For copper metal:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of copper metal

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 6=3mol$ of copper metal

Moles of copper reacted = 3 moles

For copper(II) nitrate:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of copper(II) nitrate

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 6=3mol$ of copper(II) nitrate

Moles of copper(II) nitrate produced = 3 moles

For silver metal:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 2 moles of silver metal

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 6=6mol$ of silver metal

Moles of silver metal produced = 3 moles

Hence, the amount of copper metal reacted is 3 moles, amount of copper (II) nitrate produced is 3 moles and amount of silver metal produced is 6 moles.

How does ionic radii increase

nalin [4]

<>"One such trend is closely linked to atomic radii -- ionic radii. Neutral atoms tend to increase in size down a group and decrease across a period. When a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, creating an anion or cation, the atom's radius increases or decreases, respectively."<>
