Atoms are considered the smallest particles of an element because they are the basic unit. They cannot be broken down into any smaller substance.

They are considered the smallest part of an element because when you break down an element into smaller and smaller parts, theoretically when you reach thed smallest part and you cant break it any more, it will be one atom of whatever element you are breaking down.

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2 H2O How many grams of CO2 are required to react with exactly 3.00 mol of O2? 106 g 132 g 165 g 76.8 g
cricket20 [7]

Hey there!:

Given the reaction:

2 C2H2 + 5 O2 → 4 CO2 + 2 H2O

5 moles O2 ------------- 4 moles CO2

3.00 moles O2 ----------  ( moles of CO2 ?? )

moles of CO2 = 3.00 * 4 / 5

moles of CO2 =  12 / 5

moles of CO2 = 2.4 moles

So, molar  mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Therefore:

1 mole CO2 -------------- 44.01 g

2.4 moles CO2 ---------- ( mass of CO2 )

mass of CO2 = 2.4 * 44.01 / 1

mass of CO2 = 106 g

Answer A


Hope that helps!

How many moles of Calcium Oxide are needed to produce 4 moles of Calcium Hydroxide?
Tpy6a [65]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CaO: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 1 mole
  • Ca(OH)₂:  1 mole

<h3>Moles of CaO required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometric reaction 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaO, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are produced by how many moles of CaO?

moles of CaO=\frac{2 moles of Ca(OH)_{2}x1 mol of CaO }{1 mole of Ca(OH)_{2}}

moles of CaO= 2 moles

Finally, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

Calculate the rate constant at 200.°C for a reaction that has a rate constant of 8.30 × 10−4 s−1 at 90.°C and an activation ener
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

23.0 s⁻¹ is rate constant

Explanation:

Using the Arrhenius equation:

k = A * e^(-Ea/RT)

Where k is rate constant

A is frequency factor (1.5x10¹¹s⁻¹)

Ea is activation energy = 55800J/mol

R is gas constant (8.314J/molK)

And T is absolute temperature (24°C + 273 = 297K)

Replacing:

k = 1.5x10¹¹s⁻¹ * e^(-55800J/mol/8.314J/molK*297K)

k = 1.5x10¹¹s⁻¹ * 1.53x10⁻¹⁰

k = 23.0 s⁻¹ is rate constant    i hope this helpsss
