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

Density is the ratio of a sample's mass to its volume. A bar of lead has a mass of 115.2 g. When it is submerged in 25.0 mL of w
Margarita [4]

Answer:

$10.97 \ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of a bar of lead = 115.2 g

Initial water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 25 mL

Final water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 35.5 mL

Difference in the water level = 35.5 - 25

                                               = 10.5 mL

                                               = 10.5 \ cm^3

We know that when a body is submerged in water, it displaces its own volume of water.

Therefore, the volume of the lead bar = volume of the water displaced = 10.5 mL  = 10.5 \ cm^3

We know that mathematically, density is the ratio of mass of body to its volume.

Density of the lead bar is given by :

$\rho =\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

$\rho =\frac{\text{115.2 g}}{\text{10.5 cm}^3}$

  = $10.97 \ g/cm^3$

During an experiment, the percent yield of calcium chloride from a reaction was 82.38%. Theoretically, the expected amount shoul
gregori [183]

Answer:

Actual yield = 86.5g

Explanation:

Percent yield = 82.38%

Theoretical yield = 105g

Actual yield = x

Equation of reaction,

CaCO₃ + HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

82.38% = actual yield / theoretical yield

82.38 / 100 = x / 105

Cross multiply and make x the subject of formula

X = (105 * 82.38) / 100

X = 86.499g

X = 86.5g

Actual yield of CaCl₂ is 86.5g

"One has more oxygen atoms than the other" best distinguishes carbon dioxide from carbon monoxide

<u>Explanation</u>:

In both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, there is the presence of carbon and oxygen. However,they vary depending on the number of oxygen atoms.In carbon monoxide, there is the presence of one only  carbon and oxygen atom. Thus carbon monoxide is chemically represented as CO. Only about 0.2%ppm of carbon monoxide present in air.  carbon monoxide is toxic and causes death in human when not consumed is correct proportion.

Whereas in carbon dioxide, only one carbon atom,and two oxygen atom and hence chemically represented as co2.

You now know that [Pb+2] = 0.17 M. Calculate [Cl-].
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

0.34 M

Explanation:

I assume that the compound is PbCl2.

One mole of PbCl2 contains one mol of Pb+2 and 2 moles of Cl-

Molarity (M)= moles (n) /Volume (V)

Moles Pb2+ = M x V = 0.17 V

Moles Cl- = moles Pb2+ x (2 moles Cl-/1 mole Pb2+) = 0.17 V x 2 = 0.34 V

M Cl- = moles Cl-/V = 0.34V/V = 0.34 M
