What are the similarities between molecules and elements

1 answer:

7 0

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

Molecular hydrogen (H2), molecular oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are compounds because each is made from more than one element. The smallest bit of each of these substances would be referred to as a molecule. For example, a single molecule of molecular hydrogen is made from two atoms of hydrogen while a single molecule of water is made from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

1. Number of moles, n

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

2. Mass

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

How much energy is needed to warm 7.40g of water by 55 degress C?

zloy xaker [14]

E = mCdT
E = energy, m = mass, C = specific heat capacity, dT = change in temperature.
526 = 0.074C x 17
E = 0.074C x 55
Divide the equations
E/526 = (0.074C x 55)/(0.074C x 17) = 55/17
E = (55 x 526)/17 = 1702 J

After being thoroughly stirred at 10.°C, which mixture is heterogenous?(1) 25.0 g of KCl and 100. g of H2O

zheka24 [161]

The answer is (2) KNO3. This depends on the solubility of these four compounds at 10℃. For NaCl, it is 35.8 g, For NaNO3, 80.8 g. KCl, 31.2 g. KNO3, 21.9g. So only KNO3 is less than 25.0 g.
