What do subscripts represent in a chemical formula?

Chemistry

nekit [7.7K]3 years ago

The numbers appearing as subscripts indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. So when you see H2O, you know there are two hydrogens because a two follows the H.

Assuming it behaves as an ideal gas, calculate the density of sulfur dioxide, so2, at stp.
Arisa [49]
Hello!

At Standard Pressure and Temperature, an ideal gas has a molar density of  0,04464 mol/L.

So, we need to apply a simple conversion factor to calculate the density of Sulfur Dioxide using the molar mass of Sulfur Dioxide.

\frac{0,04464 mol SO_2}{1 L SO_2}* \frac{64,066 g SO_2}{1 mol SO_2}=2,8599 g/L

So, the Density of Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) at STP is 2,8599 g/L

Have a nice day!

15.3 g of nano3 were dissolved in 100g of water in a calorimeter. The temperature of the water drops from 25.00°c to 21.56°c. Ca
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.259 kJ/mol ≅ 0.26 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat absorbed by ice (Q = ??? J).

m is the mass of the ice (m = 100.0 g).

c is the specific heat of water (c of ice = 4.186 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 21.56°C - 25.0°C = -3.44°C).

<em>∵ Q = m.c.ΔT</em>

∴ Q = (100.0 g)(4.186 J/g.°C)(-3.44°C) = -1440 J = -1.44 kJ.

<em>∵ ΔH = Q/n</em>

n = mass/molar mass = (100.0 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 5.556 mol.

∴ ΔH = (-1.44 kJ)/(5.556 mol) = 0.259 kJ/mol ≅ 0.26 kJ/mol.

Metal atoms bond together to form what kind of bond?
Helen [10]

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms. Hope this helps!!!

What term represents a compound
alukav5142 [94]
Compound can be described using element symbol and numbers .  it is a mixture which is result of two or more chemical element in such a way that atoms of different elements held together  by chemical compound that are difficult to break . Most often a compound looks and behave like an element 
 for example :-   Hydrogen   and oxygen ..   both of these elements are gaseous at room temperature and atmospheric pressure , but when both combined they both form compound water . ( H2O )

What does density have to do with the cycling of matter in earths interior
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The rocks of higher density inter the mantle. Due to density they sink and melt. When they melt the density decreases and rises to the top. They then are recycled through volcanoes.
