First you need to solve for the number of moles in each. 
1 mole of anything = atomic mas of that element (g)

Carbon has an atomic mass of 12.0107
1 mole of Carbon = 12.0107 g

Iron has an atomic mass of 55.845
1 mole of Iron = 55.845 g

now convert each from grams to moles 
(grams of Carbon cancel and you are left with moles of carbon)
<u>100.0 g Carbon x 1 mol Carbon </u> = 8.326 mol Carbon
       12.0107 g Carbon

(grams of Iron will cancel and you are left with moles of iron)
<u>100.0 g Iron x 1 mol Iron</u> = 1.791 mol Iron
      55.845 g Iron

now we can use avogadro's number to solve for the amount of atoms in each 
1 mol = 6.02x10^23 atoms

<u>8.326 mol Carbonx 6.02 x 10^23 atoms </u> = 5.012 x 10^24 atoms Carbon<u>
</u>        1 mol Carbon
<u>
</u><u>1.791 mol Iron x 6.02 x 10^23 atoms </u> = 1.078 x 10^24 atoms Iron<u>
</u>        1 mol Iron
<u>
</u>5.012 x 10^24 atoms Carbon > 1.078 x 10^24 atoms Iron
<u>
</u>

A 17.6-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
postnew [5]
These problems are a bit interesting. :)

First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate. 

NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)

17.6 gNH4CO3

Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse. 

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)

Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)

NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol


17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4

Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!

4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4

Turn on Write equation. What you see is an equation that shows the original uranium atom on the left. The boxes on the right rep
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form Thorium-234 as daughter product.

Explanation:

Alpha decay is indicative of loss of the equivalents of a helium particle emission. The reaction equation for this reaction is shown below:

_{92} ^{238} U_{}→ _{90} ^{234} Th_{} + _{2} ^{4} He_{}

I hope this explanation is clear and explanatory.

Cu + 2AgNO3 →
netineya [11]

Answer: 292.54g of Ag

Explanation:

Cu + 2AgNO3 →Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

mass conc. Of Ag = n x molar Mass

Mass conc. Of Ag = 2 x 108 = 216g

From the equation,

63.5g of Cu produced 216g of Ag

Therefore, 86g of Cu will produce Xg of Ag. i.e

Xg of Ag = (86 x 216)/63.5 = 292.54g
