What is wrong with the following explanation of an experiment? When it was heated, the sample of carbon decomposed.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
7 0
"Carbon" is an element. It is found in the fourth group of the periodic table, and it is a stable element. This means that it can not be decomposed via heating, because if an element were to break down, it would release its subatomic particles. The explanation was probably one used to describe the thermal decomposition of a compound into smaller compounds.

How many molecules of carbon dioxide, CO2, are present in 388.1 grams?
swat32

Answer:

53.11× 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of CO₂ = ?

Mass of CO₂ = 388.1 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12× 1 + 16×2

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 388.1 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.82 moles

Now we will calculate the number of molecules by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

8.82 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol

53.11× 10²³ molecules

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, how much water is produced if 22.5 g of
nadezda [96]

Answer: The amount of water produced is 9.3 grams

Explanation:

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.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

mass of reactants = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = 22.5 g + 35.7 g = 58.2 g

mass of products = mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 48.9 g +  mass of water

48.9 g +  mass of water = 58.2 g

mass of water = 9.3 g

The equation most often associated with Newton's Second Law of Motion is
nignag [31]

Answer:

F = ma or Force = mass x acceleration.

Explanation:

Newtons second law is about the force put onto an object. To find this you would use the formula:

Force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=ma)
