<span>In chemistry, the law of definite proportions, sometimes called Proust's law or the law of definite composition, or law of constant composition states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio and does not depend on its source and method of preparation. An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition, which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition by mass.</span>

In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The following reaction takes place in the battery. Fe(s) + 2 NiO(OH)(s)
AveGali [126]

Ans: Moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.

Given reaction:

Fe(s) + 2NiO(OH) (s) + 2H2O(l) → Fe(OH)2(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(aq)

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of Fe reacts with 2 moles of NiO(OH) to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)2

It is given that there are:

5.35 moles of Fe

7.65 moles of NiO(OH)

Here the limiting reagent is Fe

Therefore, number of moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.

If we react 5.4g of sodium chloride with an unknown amount of fluorine gas, we produce 4.9g of sodium fluoride and 3.7g chlorine
Bumek [7]

Answer:

4.43 g

Explanation:

The reaction between sodium chloride and flourine gas is given as;

NaCl + F2 --> NaF + Cl2

From the stochiometry of the equation;

1 mol of NaCl reacts eith 1 mol of F2 to form 1 mol of NaF and Cl2

Mass of 1 mol of F2 = 38g

Mass of 1 mol of sodium flouride, NaF = 42g

This means 38g of flourine reacted with NaCl to form 42g of NaF

xg of F2 would form 4.9g of NaF

38 = 42

x = 4.9

x = 4.9 * 38 / 42

x = 4.43 g

Trans fats: Think about how the prefix trans- is used in naming alkenes.
wel
In an alkene, cis and trans isomers are possible because the double band is rigid, cannot rotate, has groups attached to the carbons of the double bond that are fixed relative to each other, and only occurs with double bonds-possibility that molecule will have different geometries; two different molecules with slightly different properties. 
-Trans-2 ends of chain across the double bond.
While naming Cis-Trans isomers the prefix cis or trans are placed in front of the alkene name when there are cis-trans isomers.

K forms the compound K2O , which is an ionic compound that is brittle. Identify another element, M , that is likely to form a br
meriva

The metal is sodium, Na.

<u>Explanation:</u>

K₂O is an ionic compound in which K is in the oxidation state of +1 and it belongs to group 1.

Group 1 elements also form oxides with the metals with the general formula M₂O and M being Na, K, Li and so on.

Metals Like sodium and Potassium are so brittle in nature and also their oxides.

So the other metal that form metal oxide which is brittle as well as ionic in nature, and so the metal oxide is Na₂O.

So the metal is sodium, Na.
