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.

Calculate the grams of sodium hydroxide formed when 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react with water
Romashka [77]
The balanced reaction is 
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH

If 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react, that means 4.48 moles of NaOH is formed as it is a 1 to 2 stoichiometric relationship.

Now we multiply by the molar mass to get grams.

4.48 moles NaOH * (39.997 grams/1 mole) = 179.2 grams

Your answer is 179. grams.

The solubility of Cr(NO3)3⋅9H2O in water is 208 g per 100 g of water at 15 ∘C. A solution of Cr(NO3)3⋅9H2O in water at 35 ∘C is
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

102g of crystals

Explanation:

When the Cr(NO₃)₃⋅9H₂O is dissolved in water at 15°C, the maximum mass that water will dissolve in the equilibrium is 208 g per 100g of water. When you heat the water, this mass will increases.

In this problem, at 35°C the water dissolves 310g in 100g of water, as in the equilibrium at 15°C the maximum mass is 208g, the mass of crystals that will form is:

310g - 208g = <em>102g of crystals</em>

<em>-Crystals are the Cr(NO₃)₃⋅9H₂O that is not dissolved-.</em>

I hope it helps!

A diver has a lung capacity of 2.4 L when the pressure is 0.8 atm. What is the volume of the diver’s lungs when the pressure cha
tangare [24]

Answer:

The final volume is 1.6 L.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A diver has a lung capacity of 2.4 L when the pressure is 0.8 atm. We need to find the volume of the diver’s lungs when the pressure changes to 1.2 atm. Let V₂ is volume.

It is based on Boyle's law. According to this law,

PV=K

K is constant

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{0.8\times 2.4}{1.2}\\\\V_2=1.6\ L

So, the final volume is 1.6 L.
