Answer: it should be as simple and logical as possible.

Explanation: when producing a scientific theory, one shouldn't introduce stretched realities. For example, if I come back home and find the fridge open, it's very unlikely that a pink elephant came into my house while I was gone and opened it, I must have left it open when I left.

Are these synthesis decomposition single replacement or double replacement?

marishachu [46]

Answer:

1. Synthesis

2. Decomposition

3. Single replacement

4. Synthesis

5. Decomposition

6. Synthesis

Explanation:

Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:

Synthesis:

a + b ---> ab In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new compounds

Decomposition:

ab ---> a + b In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds

Single replacement:

a + bc ---> b + ac In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.

Double replacement

ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.

Now, let's go through the assignment

1. P + O2 --> P4O10 This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.

2. HgO ---> Hg + O2 This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.

3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2 This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).

4. Mg + O2 ---> MgO This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.

5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2 This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.

6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3 This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.

Determine how many gmol, kmol, and lbmols there are in 50 kilograms of n-hexane.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 581 gmol

0.581 kmol

$1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{50\times 1000g}{86g/mol}=581mol$

1. The conversion for mol to gmol

1 mol = 1 gmol

581 mol= $\frac{1}{1}\times 581=581gmol$

2. The conversion for mol to kmol

1 mol = 0.001 kmol

581 mol= $\frac{0.001}{1}\times 581=0.581kmol$

3. The conversion for mol to lbmol

1 mol = $2.2\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

581 mol= $\frac{2.2\times 10^{-3}}{1}\times 581=1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

The density of water is 1 g/cm3. brent used the following method to convert 1 g/cm3 to kg/m3.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a) The wrong denominator for the equivalent fraction of kilograms to grams

b) The use of the scale factor of length rather than the scale factor of volume for the equivalent fraction of cubic centimeters to cubic meters

c) The arrival at the correct 1000 kg/m³ rather than 0.1 g/m³ based on the expression on the left of the equation

The density of water = 1 g/cm³

The given equation is presented as follows;

1 g/cm³ × 1 kg/(1000 kg) × 100 cm³/(1 m³) = 1000 kg/m³

The error in the conversion method are;

a) The conversion, 1 kg/(1,000 kg) has an error, the correct conversion is (1 kg)/1,000 g)

b) The volume conversion error, 100 cm³/(1 m³), the correct volume conversion is (100 cm)³/(1 m³) = 1,000,000 cm³/(1 m³)

c) The right of the equal to sign error; using the left side expression only, the (wrong) answer is 0.1 g/m³

The correct equation is presented as follows;

1 g/cm³ × 1 kg/(1000 g) × 1,000,000 cm³/(1 m³) = 1000 kg/m³

If a can of soup 150 g mass and 0.75g/ cm^3 density what’s the volume

Liula [17]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 200 cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

$volume = \frac{mass}{density}\\$

From the question

mass = 150 g

density = 0.75 g/cm³

We have

$volume = \frac{150}{0.75} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
