A mothball, composed of naphthalene (c10h8), has a mass of 1.64 g . part a how many naphthalene molecules does it contain?

1 answer:

3 0

The molar mass of Naphthalene is 128g/mol
Therefore; a mass of 1.64 g of Naphthalene contains'
= 1.64g/128 g
= 0.0128 moles
But, from the Avogadro's law 1 mole of a substance contains 6.022 × 10^23 particles
Therefore 1 mole of Naphthalene contains 6.022×10^23 molecules
Hence; 0.0128 moles × 6.022 ×10^23 molecules
= 7.716 × 10^21 molecules

how many liters of nitrogen gas are needed to react with 90.0 g of potassium at STP in order to produce potassium nitride accord

Snezhnost [94]

The atomic mass of potassium is 19 g/mol
90.0 g of potassium contains ;
= 90.0/19
= 4.737 moles
The reaction between potassium and nitrogen is given by the equation;
6K + N2 = 2K3N
The mole ratio of potassium and nitrogen is 6:1
The number of moles of nitrogen;
= 4.737/6
= 0.7895 moles
But, 1 mole of nitrogen occupies 22.4 liters at STP
Therefore; 0.7895 moles × 22.4 liters
= 17.685 liters

Why is water able to dissolve salts such as sodium chloride

adell [148]

Water has positive side and negative side. This is the reason why water can dissolve salt such sodium chloride. Example when sodium chloride dissociate in water it give Na+ ions and Cl- ions. the negative side of water attack the Na+ ions while the positive side of water attract Cl- ions
