Answer is - Decreasing surface area of a solid reactant, rate of reaction can be slowed down.

Explanation: The quantity of a reactant species consumed or the quantity of product species formed in unit time in a chemical reaction is called rate of reaction. With passage of time, concentration of reactant decreases and concentration of product increases. Rate of reaction depends on various factors like- concentration of reactant, temperature, nature of reactant, catalyst and surface area of reactant.

By increasing the concentration of the reactants, rate of the reaction increases.

Presence of catalyst increases the rate of reaction.

With increase in temperature, kinetic energy of molecules increases which results to more number of effective collisions, so, rate of reaction increases.

With increase in the surface area of reactant, more number of molecules can react at a time and by decreasing the surface area of solid reactant rate of the reaction will diminish/ decrease.

A party balloon contains 5.50 x 10 ^22 atoms of helium gas. What is the mass, in grams of the

eduard

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 0.365 \ g\ He}}$

Explanation:

1. Convert Atoms to Moles

We must use Avogadro's Number: 6.022*10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of helium. We can create a ratio.

$\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ He}{1 \ mol \ He}$

Multiply by the given number of helium atoms.

$5.50 *10^{22} \ atoms \ He *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ He}{1 \ mol \ He}$

Flip the fraction so the atoms of helium cancel.

$5.50 *10^{22} \ atoms \ He *\frac {1 \ mol \ He}{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ He}$

$5.50 *10^{22} *\frac {1 \ mol \ He}{6.022*10^{23} }$

$\frac {5.50 *10^{22} \ mol \ He}{6.022*10^{23} }= 0.09133178346 \ mol \ He$

2. Convert Moles to Grams

We must use the molar mass, which is found on the Periodic Table.

Helium (He): 4.00 g/mol

Use this as a ratio.

$\frac { 4.00 \ g \ He }{ 1 \ mol \ He}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated. The moles will then cancel.

$0.09133178346 \ mol \ He *\frac { 4.00 \ g \ He }{ 1 \ mol \ He}$

$0.09133178346*\frac { 4.00 \ g \ He }{ 1 }$

$0.3653271338 \ g\ He$

3. Round

The original measurement has 3 significant figures (5, 5, and 0). Our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is thousandth place. The 3 in the ten thousandth place tells us to leave the 5.

$0.365 \ g\ He$

The mass is 0.365 grams of helium so choice A is correct.

In balancing reactions, the number of atoms on each side should be of equal number. It is the most important rule in reactions. Also, we should know the correct substances involved in the reaction. We do as follows:

2K + MgBr2 = 2KBr + Mg

How many atoms are there in 4.13 moles of nickel (Ni)

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

24.87× 10²³ atoms of Ni

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Ni= ?

Number of moles of Ni = 4.13 mol

Solution:

we will calculate the number of atoms of Ni by using 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.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

4.13 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms /1 mol

24.87× 10²³ atoms of Ni
