Stoichiomety:

1 moles of C + 1 mol of O2 = 1 mol of CO2

multiply each # of moles times the atomic molar mass of the compund to find the relation is weights

Atomic or molar weights:

C: 12 g/mol
O2: 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol
CO2 = 12 g/mol + 2* 16 g/mol = 44 g/mol

Stoichiometry:

12 g of C react with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2

Then 18 g of C will react with: 18 * 32/ 12 g of Oxygen = 48 g of Oxygen

And the result will be 12 g of C + 48 g of O2 = 60 g of CO2.

You cannot obtain 72 g of CO2 from 18 g of C.

May be they just pretended that you use the law of consrvation of mass and say that you need 72 g - 18g = 54 g. But it violates the proportion of C and O2 in the CO2 and is not possible.

Calculate the moles of Cu in 7.4×1021 atoms of Cu.
IceJOKER [234]
1 moles -------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
 ?? moles ----- 7.4x10²¹ atoms

moles = 7.4x10²¹ / 6.02x10²³

 = 0.01229 moles

hope this helps!

Will platinum (pt) metal react with a lead(ii) nitrate solution?
My name is Ann [436]

To answer this question, we must first look at the reactivity series table. From the table, we can see that those which are located above are the most reactive while those below are less reactive. Which means that elements cannot replace those elements which are above them.

From the series, platinum is below lead, hence there will be no reaction.

 

Answer:

No reaction

6. Geologists in Egypt and Ethiopia are comparing rock samples from rocks
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Both are different.

Explanation:

Both rocks are different from one another because both formed from different types of rocks. Rock A was formed from small pieces of rock while on the other hand, Rock B was formed from liquid  rock so they both have different sources of rocks from which they were formed. Forming at the same time does not show that they are similar to each other, it is their source which decides that they are similar or different.
