Use a proportion ... 
<span>100.0g - 38.67g - 13.86g = 47.47g Oxygen </span>
<span>285.0 mg = 0.285g </span>
<span>47.47/100 = x/0.285g </span>
<span>x = ( 47.47/100) X 0.285g </span>

using the same balanced equation, what is the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced from 3.750 moles of propane?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

11.25moles of CO2

Explanation:

First, let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction of propane to produce CO2. This reaction called Combustion. It is a reaction in which propane burns in air (O2) to produce CO2 and H20. The equation is given below:

C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O

From the equation,

1mole of C3H8 produced 3moles of CO2.

Therefore, 3.750 moles of C3H8 will produce = 3.750 x 3 = 11.25moles of CO2

What is the molarity of 10g of carbon in a 500L solution?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Molarity is the number of moles in a liter of a substance.

Molarity= Mole/volume

Mass= 10g

Molar mass of Carbon=12g

To calculate the mole we use the formula: mole= mass/molar mass

Mole = 10g/12g

Mole = 0.83

Molarity= 0.83/500 =0.0017moles per liter

How many moles are in 4.3 x 10 ^22 molecules of Na3PO4
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

0.071 moles of Na₃PO₄ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of Na₃PO₄ = 4.3× 10²² molecules

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

1 mole contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

4.3× 10²² molecules × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.71× 10⁻¹ mol

0.071 mol

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

"It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance"

A sample of gas occupies 10.0 l at 100.0 torr and 27.0
disa [49]
The pressure  of a sample  of a gas if the temperature  is changed  to 127  c  while  the volume  remains  constant   is calculated  using gay lussac law formula

that is P1/T1 = P2/V2
P1 = 100 torr
T1 = 27+273 = 300 k
T2 =127 +273 =400 k
P2=?

by  making P2 the subject of the formula
P2=T2P1/T1

=100  x 400/300 = 133.3 torr

How many atoms are in a 1.8 mol sample of Magnesium (Mg)?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

1.1 × 10²⁴ atoms Mg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Moles
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

[Given] 1.8 mol Mg

[Solve] atoms Mg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 1.8 \ mol \ Mg(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Mg}{1 \ mol \ Mg})
  2. [DA] Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                                      \displaystyle 1.08396 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Mg

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

1.08396 × 10²⁴ atoms Mg ≈ 1.1 × 10²⁴ atoms Mg
