Answer;

c.electrons move from the wool to the rod.

Explanation;

-Atoms are generally neutral (have the same number of protons as electrons). Substances lose electrons to become positively charged, while other substances gain electrons to become negatively charged.

-When a plastic rod is rubbed with woolen cloth or wool, a transfer of electrons occurs (from the wool to the rod). The rod gains electrons; thus, it is negatively charged.

Theoretically, how many moles of carbonic acid will be produced by 3.00 g sample of NaHCO3?
Kryger [21]
NaHCO3 = 22.99 + 1.008 + 16(3) = 83.99 g/mol 

Na = 22.99g/83.99 g weight of molecule =.2727 or 27.27% 

3.0 g* .2727 = 0.8211 grams of sodium in sample of NaHCO3 

0.8211 grams Na + 1.266 grams Cl = 2.087 grams

Calculate how many grams of o2(g) can be produced from heating 87.4 grams of kclo3(s).
Rufina [12.5K]
<span>34.2 grams Lookup the atomic weights of the involved elements Atomic weight potassium = 39.0983 Atomic weight Chlorine = 35.453 Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass KClO3 = 39.0983 + 35.453 + 3 * 15.999 = 122.5483 g/mol Moles KClO3 = 87.4 g / 122.5483 g/mol = 0.713188188 mol The balanced equation for heating KClO3 is 2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2 So 2 moles of KClO3 will break down into 3 moles of oxygen molecules. 0.713188188 mol / 2 * 3 = 1.069782282 mols So we're going to get 1.069782282 moles of oxygen molecules. Since each molecule has 2 atoms, the mass will be 1.069782282 * 2 * 15.999 = 34.23089345 grams Rounding the results to 3 significant figures gives 34.2 grams</span>

A 3.140 molal solution of NaCl is prepared. How many grams of NaCl are present in a sample containing 2.314 kg of water?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

g NaCl = 424.623 g

Explanation:

<em>C</em> NaCl = 3.140 m = 3.140 mol NaCl / Kg solvent

∴ solvent: H2O

∴ mass H2O = 2.314 Kg

mol NaCl:

⇒ mol NaCl = (3.140 mol NaCl/Kg H2O)×(2.314 Kg H2O) = 7.266 mol NaCl

∴ mm NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

⇒ g NaCl = (7.266 mol NaCl)×(58.44 g/mol) = 424.623 g NaCl

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3

The I.C.E table can be represented as:

                     2SO₂              O₂                   2SO₃

Initial:             14                  2.6                     0

Change:        -2x                -x                      +2x

Equilibrium:   14 - 2x          2.6 - x                2x

However, Since the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol.

SO₃ = 2x,

then x = 1.6/2

x = 0.8 mol

For 2SO₂; we have 14 - 2x

= 14 - 2(0.8)

= 14 - 1.6

= 12.4 mol

For O₂; we have 2.6 - x

= 2.6 - 1.6

= 1.0 mol

Thus;

[SO₂] = moles / volume = ( 12.4/50) = 0.248 M ,

[O₂] = 1/50 = 0.02 M ,  

[SO₃] = 1.6/50 = 0.032 M

Kc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² [O₂]

= ( 0.032²) / ( 0.248² x 0.02)

= 0.8325

Recall that; the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3 = 0.8325;

If we want to find:

SO_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to SO_3

Then:

K_c = (0.8325)^{1/2}

\mathbf{K_c = 0.912}

Since no temperature is given to use in the question, it will be impossible to find the final temperature of the mixture.
