Answer: definite proportions.

Explanation:

1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).

2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.

The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.

Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).

The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.

A mothball, composed of naphthalene (C10H8), has a mass of 1.52g. How many naphthalene molecules does it contain?

Anna35 [415]

The molar mass of naphthalene is calculated as follows,
10 x (12.01 g/ mol) + 8 x (1.01 g/mol) = 128.12 g/mol
Divide the given mass by the molar mass to determine the number of moles of naphthalene present in the ball.
n = 1.52 g / 128.12 g/mol = 0.01186 mole
Multiply the number of moles to number of moles per mole.
(0.01186 mol) x (6.022 x10^23 molecules / mole) = 7.14 x 10^21 molecules

You measure salt water in a tank to have a density of 1.02 g/mL. A balloon weighs 2.0 g and you weights have a mass of 30.0 g ea

Elden [556K]

Weight of the balloon = 2.0 g

Six weights each of mass 30.0 g is added to the balloon.

Total mass of the balloon = 2.0 g + 6*30.0 g = 182 g

Density of salt water = 1.02 g/mL

Calculating the volume from mass and density:

$182g*\frac{mL}{1.02g} =178mL$

Converting the volume from mL to cubic cm:

$178 mL * \frac{1cm^{3} }{1mL} =178cm^{3}$

Assuming the balloon to be a sphere,

Volume of the sphere = $\frac{4}{3}$ π $r^{3}$

$178 cm^{3} = \frac{4}{3}(\frac{22}{7})r^{3}$

r = 3.49 cm

Radius of the balloon = 3.49 cm

Diameter of the balloon = 2 r = 2*3.49 cm = 6.98cm
