How many total atoms are in 0.170 g of p2o5?

1 answer:

3 0

7.20594 x 10^20

First you must determine how many moles of P3O5 you have. This is done by using the formula
Number of moles (n) = mass in grams of substance (m) /divided by/ Molar mass (M) [this is the sum of the atomic mass of all atoms in the compound]

n = 0.170 / P (31 x 2) + O (16 x 5)
n = 0.170 / 142
n = 0.001197 moles

Then you use avagadros number 6.02 x10^23 this is the number of atoms in one mole of any substance. Since you have 0.001197 moles you multiply the number of moles by avagadros number

0.001197 x (6.02 x 10^23)
= 7.20594 x 10^20 atoms

What is polar satellites????

katrin [286]

Answer:

polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun) on each revolution. It has an inclination of about 60 - 90 degrees to the body's equator.[1] A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits.

Launching satellites into polar orbit requires a larger launch vehicle to launch a given payload to a given altitude than for a near-equatorial orbit at the same altitude, due to the fact that much less of the Earth's rotational velocity can be taken advantage of to achieve orbit. Depending on the location of the launch site and the inclination of the polar orbit, the launch vehicle may lose up to 460 m/s of Delta-v, approximately 5% of the Delta-v required to attain Low Earth orbit. Polar orbits are a subtype of Low Earth orbits with altitudes between 200 and 1,000 kilometers.[1]

If you were asked to describe metals and magnetism you could say. A. non–paired electrons spin in opposite directions in all met

attashe74 [19]

Answer : Option D) the electrons in some metals pair up to create a magnetic field.

Explanation : Most of the metals are magnetic in nature including some exceptions. When the unpaired electrons get aligned with the magnetic field they posses magnetism. Also there are some paired electrons in metals which align themselves according to the magnetic field and create magnetism in them.

Read the following passage.

Archy [21]

Answer is: the discovery of sub atomic particles like electrons.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis (the atom was composed of immaterial vortices).

J.J. Thomson placed two oppositely charged electric plates around the cathode ray. He did experiments using different metals as electrode materials and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material he used.

Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks (atoms are made up of smaller particles).

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
