This question is about stoichiometry, the ratio of compounds in a reaction. The most important thing that comes out of physics relating to this is the principle of Conservation of Energy, that is energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.

This can mean a lot of different things depending on the context, usually to explain why perpetual motion is inpossible - energy transfers are never 100% efficient and as energy cannot be expressly created, the useful energy in an isolated system must dwindle (if you are interested that is called entropy).

But in a chemistry context, for stable atoms such as these where matter remains matter and energy remains energy, it leads to the principle of Conservation of Mass. That is to say there are as many atoms of each type to start with as there are to finish with.

This is why balancing is so important. You wouldn't react two oxygen atoms together (hypothetically) to form two O2 molecules because that would start with 2 atoms and end with 4. Similarly you wouldn't (excluding nuclear fusion reactions) react two magnesium atoms together to produce a Cl2 molecule because the mass has changed (an Mg has a different mass to a Cl).

Taking note of the number of each type of atom on each side of the equation, we find there is the same number always. This shows the equation is balanced. Conservation of Mass, and by extension Conservation of Energy, is satisfied so the answer is B.

What would be the bond order for He 2 2- molecule

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

In He2 molecule,

Atomic orbitals available for making Molecular Orbitals are 1s from each Helium. And total number of electrons available are 4.

Molecular Orbitals thus formed are:€1s2€*1s2

It means 2 electrons are in bonding molecular orbitals and 2 are in antibonding molecular orbitals .

Bond Order =Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals - electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals /2

Bond Order =Nb-Na/2

Bond Order =2-2/2=0

Since the bond order is zero so that He2 molecule does not exist.

Hi guys, my question is:

guapka [62]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

A) The rate law can only be on the reactant side and you can only determine it after you get the net ionic equation because of spectators cancelling out. So in this case the rate law is k=[CH3Br]^1 [OH-]^1. The powers are there because the rxn is first order.

B) Since the rxn is first order anything you do to it will be the exact same "counter rxn" per say so since you are decreasing the OH- by 5 the rate will decease by 5

C) The rate will increase by 4 since you are doubling both you have to multiply them both.

PLSSS HELP MEE 100 POINTS!!!!!!! How many atoms of each element does magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, contain? Magnesium = 1 atom,

Basile [38]

It would be Magnesium = 1 atom, Oxygen = 2 atoms, Hydrogen = 2 atoms. It has 5 atoms total. There is 1 magnesium and you multiply each element by the the 2 outside the parenthesis to get 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen.

If fluorine gas (F₂) occupies a volume of 45.5 L at a pressure of 850

pshichka [43]

Taking into account about the ideal gas law, the mass of fluorine gas is 63.2244 grams.

<h3>What is ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

P is the gas pressure.
V is the volume that occupies.
T is its temperature. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
R is the ideal gas constant.
n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Mass of fluorine gas</h3>

In this case, you know:

P= 850 mmHg= 1.11842 atm (being 1 mmHg= 0.00131579 atm)
V= 45.5 L
T =100 °C= 373 K (being 0°C= 273 K)
R= 0.082 $\frac{atm L}{mol K}$
n= ?

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

1.11842 atm ×45.5 L = n×0.082 $\frac{atm L}{mol K}$ × 373 K

Solving:

n= (1.11842 atm ×45.5 L)÷ (0.082 $\frac{atm L}{mol K}$ × 373 K)

<u><em>n= 1.6638 moles</em></u>

The molar mass of F₂ is 38 g/mole. Then you can apply the folowing rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 1 mole of the compound contains 38 grams, 1.6638 moles of the compound contains how much mass?

$mass= \frac{1.6638 molesx38 grams}{1 mole}$
