Answer:
B. Ca(NO2)2
Explanation:
Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.
This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:
Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2
Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.
So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow.
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
Answer: 122 moles
Procedure:
1) Convert all the units to the same unit
2) mass of a penny = 2.50 g
3) mass of the Moon = 7.35 * 10^22 kg (I had to arrage your numbers because it was wrong).
=> 7.35 * 10^22 kg * 1000 g / kg = 7.35 * 10^ 25 g.
4) find how many times the mass of a penny is contained in the mass of the Moon.
You have to divide the mass of the Moon by the mass of a penny
7.35 * 10^ 25 g / 2.50 g = 2.94 * 10^25 pennies
That means that 2.94 * 10^ 25 pennies have the mass of the Moon, which you can check by mulitiplying the mass of one penny times the number ob pennies: 2.50 g * 2.94 * 10^25 = 7.35 * 10^25.
5) Convert the number of pennies into mole unit. That is using Avogadros's number: 6.022 * 10^ 23
7.35 * 10^ 25 penny * 1 mol / (6.022 * 10^ 23 penny) = 1.22* 10^ 2 mole = 122 mol.
Answer: 122 mol
