Explanation:

There are three states of matter: Solid, liquid and gas. With change in pressure and temperature, matter changes its state. A solid has closely packed particles while a liquid and gas have loosely packed constituent particles. An outside force either compresses or expands the packed matter which causes it to change the state. On compression, particles come closer and gas changes to liquid and liquid to gas where as on expansion, the solid turns to liquid and liquid to gas.

Why does nuclear charge increase as you go left to right across a period

MariettaO [177]

The atomic number increases moving left to right across a period and subsequently so does the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, moving left to right across a period the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radii decreases.

1. Ibuprofen (C13H18O2) is the active ingredient in many nonprescription pain relievers. Each tablet contains 200 mg of ibuprofe

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer :

The molar mass of ibuprofen is, 206.29 g/mole.

The number of moles of ibuprofen in a single tablet is, 0.000969 moles

The number of moles of ibuprofen in four doses is, 0.007752 moles

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mole

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.99 g/mole

1) Now we have to calculate the molar mass of ibuprofen.

Molar mass of ibuprofen, $C_{13}H_{18}O_2$ = $(13\times 12.01)+(18\times 1.01)+(2\times 15.99)=206.29g/mole$

The molar mass of ibuprofen = 206.29 g/mole

2) Now we have to calculate the moles of ibuprofen.

Formula used : $Moles=\frac{Mass}{\text{ Molar mass}}$

Given : Mass of ibuprofen = 200 mg = 0.2 g (1 mg = 1000 g)

$\text{ Moles of ibuprofen}=\frac{\text{ Mass of ibuprofen}}{\text{ Molar mass of ibuprofen}}=\frac{0.2g}{206.29g/mole}=0.000969moles$

The moles of ibuprofen = 0.000969 moles

3) Now we have to calculate the number of moles of ibuprofen for four doses.

Number of tablets in one dose = 2

Total number of tablets in 4 doses = 4 × 2 = 8

Number of moles of ibuprofen in 8 tablets =

$\text{ Number of moles of ibuprofen in 1 tablet}\times \text{ Total number of tablets}=0.000969\times 8=0.007752moles$

How many moles are there in 2.30 x 1024 atoms of silver?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Step 1 should be convert atoms to moles (n). Step 2 should be convert moles (n) to mass (m).

Step 1

Use dimensional analysis to convert the number of atoms to moles.

1 mole atoms = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

n(Ag) = 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms × (1 mol Ag/6.022 × 10²³ Ag atoms) = 3.8193 mol Ag

Step 2

Convert the moles of Ag to mass.

mass (m) = moles (n) × molar mass (M)

n(Ag) = 3.8193 mol Ag

M(Ag) = atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol = 107.868 g Ag/mol Ag

m(Ag) = 3.8193 mol × 107.868 g/mol = 412 g Ag = 410 g Ag rounded to two significant figures

The mass of 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms is approximately 410 g.

In a redox reaction, reduction is defined by the:

jonny [76]

Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
