How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond (pure carbon) with a mass of 55 mg ?
kari74 [83]
1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams.
x mol of Carbon = 55 grams

12*x = 1 * 55
x = 55/12
x = 4.583333 mols of carbon

1 mol of anything is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
4.58333333 mol = x

1/4.5833333 = 6.02 * 10^23/x
x = 4.58333* 6.02*10^23
x = 2.7591 * 10^23 Carbon atoms

Some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O) to make hydrogen fuel with
skad [1K]

A.  Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.

Explanation:

In decomposing water to release hydrogen gas to make fuel cells, the process requires a very high activation energy.

                             2H₂O ⇆ 2H₂  + O₂

 This is the overall reaction. O-H must be broken to release free hydrogen to produce hydrogen gas.

The O-H bond is a very strong force of attraction that requires a high activation energy to overcome.

  • The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.
  • The sun is a renewable source of energy.
  • Water decomposition produces useful oxygen gas needed by all life for cellular respiration.

Given below is the balanced equation for the combustion of decane. 2C10H22 (l) + 31O2 (g) --> 20CO2 (g) + 22H2O (g) What is t
Aleks [24]

Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced combustion reaction is,:

2C_{10}H_{22}(l)+31O_2(g)\rightarrow 20CO_2(g)+22H_2O(g)

Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31

Why do atoms form blonds​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.
