The number is far to big. A single mole of jelly beans would take up the whole planet earth. So imagine the numbers we would have to go into!

One mole is equal to avagadro number

Avagadro's number = 6.023 X 10^23

So it is a big big number. For pens or paper clips we do not need such big unit to express any figure.

Hence we cannot count the normal pens or pencils type macro objects in terms of moles

The mole is used for atomic level particles where in a small amount such large number of identities are present

solniwko [45]

16 protons and 18 electrons gives the atom a -2 charge because there are 2 more electrons than protons. If it were 16 protons and 16 electrons, the charge would be 0 or neutral.

___1___Zn + __2___HCl → ___1___H2 + ____1__ZnCl2
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Mass = 2.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 102 g

Mass of Zn = 128 g

Mass of H₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Zn      →     H₂ + ZnCl₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 128 g/ 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 2 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 102 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.8  mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen gas with HCl and Zn.

                   HCl          :        H₂

                     2            :        1

                     2.8         :       1/2×2.8 = 1.4 mol

                   Zn          :        H₂

                     1            :        1

                     2           :         2

Number of moles of hydrogen formed by HCl are less thus it will limiting reactant.

Mass of Hydrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.4 mol ×  2 g/mol

Mass = 2.8 g

What pressure will be necessary to compress 2 liters of a gas at 1 atm to a volume of 0.05 liters if the temperature remains con
PtichkaEL [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

40 atm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • According to Boyle's law, the pressure and the volume of a fixed mass of a gas are inversely proportional at constant absolute temperature.
  • That is; P\alpha \frac{1}{V}
  • At varying pressure and volume,

P1V1 =P2V2

In this case,

Initial volume, V1 = 2 L

Initial pressure, P1 = 1 atm

New volume, V2 = 0.05 L

We are required to calculate the new pressure,

Rearranging the formula;

P2 = P1V1 ÷ V2

     = (1 atm × 2L) ÷ 0.05 L

     = 40 atm

Therefore, the pressure required is 40 atm
