To determine which element is being oxidized, this is one approach that can be used.

Note: oxidation numbers are very similar to ionic charges, or charges that form as metals and nonmetals, undergo chemical bonding.

1) To note down the oxidation numbers for all elements/atoms in the substances, and then observe that if it is increasing then it is being oxidized, if it is reducing then it would be being reduced.

Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu

O +2 -2 -> +2 -2 0

Ignore the -2 as these are spectator ions that do not undergo the change, and are not part of the main reaction occurring.

Here we can see that Zn goes from 0 to +2, thus it would be oxidized, while Cu goes from +2 to 0, thus is reduced.

Moles/Mass/Molecules Practice Problem Worksheet
Komok [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Convert 11.03 moles of calcium nitrate to grams.

Given data:

Number of moles = 11.03 mol

Mass of calcium nitrate = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Now we will rearrange the formula because we have to calculate the mass.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of calcium nitrate =  164.088 g/mol

Mass = 11.03 mol ×  164.088 g/mol

Mass = 1809.89 g

2. How many molecules are contained in 103.4g of sulfuric acid?

The given problem will solve 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.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Given data:

Number of molecules = ?

Mass of sulfuric acid = 103.4 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 103.4 g/ 98.079 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.05 mol

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1.05 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1mol

6.323 × 10²³ molecules of sulfuric acid

3. 3.25 x 1024 molecules of dinitrogen pentoxide would be how many moles?

The given problem will solve 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.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Given data:

Number of molecules of dinitrogen pentoxide = 3.25 × 10²⁴

Moles of dinitrogen pentoxide = ?

Solution:

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1 mol  × 3.25 × 10²⁴ molecules / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

5.4 moles

4. What would be the mass of 9.03 x 1021 molecules of hydrobromic acid?

The given problem will solve 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.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Given data:

Number of molecules of hydrobromic acid = 9.03 × 10²¹

Mass of hydrobromic acid = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the moles of hydrobromic acid.

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1 mol  × 9.03 × 10²¹ molecules / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.015  moles

Mass of hydrobromic acid:

Mass =  number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.015 mol × 80.9 g/mol

Mass =1.21 g

5. A sample of iron (III) chloride has a mass of 26.29g. How many moles would this be?

Given data:

Number of moles =?

Mass of iron(III) chloride = 26.29 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of iron chloride  =  162.2 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Moles = 26.29 g/ 162.2 g/mol

Moles = 0.16 g

How do tidal bulges form?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: The pull of the moon's gravity on Earth's water causes tidal bulges to form on the side closest to the moon and farthest from the moon. In the place where there are tidal bulges, high tide occurs along coastline.

If one benzene molecule is placed in water, the total entropy of the water + benzene system:___________
valkas [14]

Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.
