<span>210. moles To determine the number of moles of a substance you have, simply divide the mass of the substance you have by its molar mass. So 3.79 kg / 18.02 g/mol = 3790 g / 18.02 g/mol = 210.3218646 mol Since we only have 3 significant figures, the answer should be rounded to 3 figures, giving 210. as the result. Notice that the decimal point is required. If you state the number of moles is 210, then that answer will only have 2 significant figures. But the value of 210. has 3 significant figures.</span>

First, we will convert the mass of the gallon to grams:
a gallon of water has a mass of 3.79 * 1000 = 3790 grams of water

number of moles can be calculated using the following rule:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
Therefore,
number of moles = 3790 / 18.02 = 210.32 moles

Determine total H for bonds broken and formed, the overall change in H, and the final answer with units. Is it ENDOthermic or EX
Mrac [35]
  • E(Bonds broken) = 1371 kJ/mol reaction
  • E(Bonds formed) = 1852 kJ/mol reaction
  • ΔH = -481 kJ/mol.
  • The reaction is exothermic.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

2 H-H + O=O → 2 H-O-H

There are two moles of H-H bonds and one mole of O=O bonds in one mole of reactants. All of them will break in the reaction. That will absorb

  • E(Bonds broken) = 2 × 436 + 499 = 1371 kJ/mol reaction.
  • ΔH(Breaking bonds) = +1371 kJ/mol

Each mole of the reaction will form two moles of water molecules. Each mole of H₂O molecules have two moles O-H bonds. Two moles of the molecule will have four moles of O-H bonds. Forming all those bond will release

  • E(Bonds formed) = 2 × 2 × 463 = 1852 kJ/mol reaction.
  • ΔH(Forming bonds) = - 1852 kJ/mol

Heat of the reaction:

  • \Delta H_{\text{rxn}} = \Delta H(\text{Breaking bonds}) + \Delta H(\text{Forming bonds})\\\phantom{ \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} = +1371 + (-1852) \\\phantom{ \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} = -481 \; \text{kJ} / \text{mol}

\Delta H_{\text{rxn}} is negative. As a result, the reaction is exothermic.

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
ycow [4]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial position and can only vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, a solid has definite shape and volume. Solids cannot be compressed.

Whereas in plasma, molecules are hot ionized which include positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. They collide much more rapidly with each other and are widely spreaded out.

Therefore, they occupy the volume of container in which they are placed. Plasma can be compressed.

Thus, we can conclude that substance X is a solid and substance Y is a plasma.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Number of molecules = 1.8267×10^20

Explanation:

From the question, we can deuced that the gases behave ideally, the we can make use of the ideal gas equation, which is expressed below;

PV = nRT

where

P =pressure

V =volume

n = the number of moles

R is the gas constant equal to 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

T is the absolute temperature

Given:

P = 6.75 atm;

T = 290.0 k,

; V = 1.07 cm³ = 0.001 L

( 6.75 atm)(0.00107 L) = n(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(290K)

n = 3.0335167*10^-4 moles

But there are 6.022×10²³ molecules in 1 mole,

Number of molecules = 1.8267×10^20

g If a small amount of a strong acid is added to a buffer made up of a weak acid, HA, and the sodium salt of its conjugate base,
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation is in the answer

Explanation:

The pH of the buffer solution does not change appreciably because the strong acid (free H⁺) reacts with conjugate base of buffer producing more weak acid. pH formula of buffers is (Henderson-Hasselbalch formula):

pH = pKa + log ( [A⁻] / [HA] )

The addition of strong acid decreases [A⁻] increasing [HA]. pH change just in the log of the ratio of [A⁻] with [HA], that is a real little effect over pH of the buffer solution.
