Answer:
The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.
Explanation:
The mole is simply a very large number,
6.022
×

, that has a special property. If I have
6.022
×
10
23
hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have
6.022

H

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have
6.022

C
atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.
The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of
C
, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of
O
2
are required to react with the
C
, which I could measure by mass or by volume.
Answer: Fe<em>(aq)</em>+S<em>(aq)</em>=FeS<em>(s)</em>
Explanation: The Sodium and Bromine are spectator ions because they don't react with anything, you can see this by writing the ionic equation like so:
1.) Molecular formula (given): FeBr2 (aq)+Na2S (aq)= FeS(s)+2NaBr(aq)
Each dissolved FeBr2 breaks up into one Fe with a charge of 2+ and two Br with a negative charge. This gives you:
Fe(aq)+ 2Br(aq)+Na2S(aq)=FeS(s)+2NaBr
2.) Now repeat what was shown with the other compounds in the given molecular formula, and pay attention to the states that each ion is in (solid, liquid, aqueous, gas) because this will give you the ionic equation, which from there you can get rid of any ions that don't change amount or state.
3.) Ionic formula: Fe(aq)+ <u>2Br(aq)</u>+<u>2 Na(aq)</u>+S (aq)=FeS(s)+<u>2 Na(aq)+2Br(aq)</u>
4.)When you've derived a total ionic equation (above), you'll find that some ions appear on both sides of the equation in equal numbers. For example, in this case two Na cations and two Br anions appear on both sides of the total ionic equation. What does this mean? It means these ions don't participate in the chemical reaction. They're present before and after the reaction. Nothing happens to them. So those are removed and you're left with the net ionic: Fe(aq)+S(aq)=FeS(s)
Hope this helps :)
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. the number infront is how many of each element there are, they are increasing and decreasing
