1) Find the number of molecules in 7.88 g of sulfur

molar mass of S8 = 8*atomic mass of S = 8 * 32.0 g / mol = 256.0 g/mol

Number of moles  = mass in grams / atomic mass = 7.88 g / 256.0 g / mol = 0.0308 moles

2) Find the mass of 0.0308 moles of P4

mass = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of P4 = 4 * atomic mass of P = 4 * 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol

mass of P4 = 0.0308 moles * 124 g/mol = 3.8192g ≈ 3.82 g.

Answer: 3.82 grams of P4 will have the same number of molecules as 7.88 g of S8 (that is 0.0308 moles of molecules)

For which compound does 0.256 mole weigh 12.8 g?
mylen [45]
Number of moles = \frac{mass (g)}{Molar mass}
so to calculate molar mass (Molecular weight of compound):
Molecular weight = \frac{mass (g)}{number of moles}
            = \frac{12.8 g}{0.256 mole} = 50 g / mole
Now we calculate molecular weight of each compound in choices:
a) C₂H₄O = 44
b) CO₂ = 44
c) CH₃Cl = 50.4 ALMOST 50  so this is the correct answer
d) C₂H₆ = 30

Bubba falls out of a plane flying over his peanut field. What will bubba speed be after falling for 8 seconds?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Variables we know:

t = 8 seconds

Vi = 0 m/s

g = -9.81

Δy = ?

Vf = ?

Equation we will be using to solve for Vf: Vf = Vi + gt

Steps to solve:

Vf = (0) + (-9.81)(8)

Vf = -78.48 m/s

Hope this helps!! :)
