Since the question is incomplete, I can help you with a detailed explanation on how to calculate the number of moles of mehate in an erlenmeyer flask.


There are two possible scenaries for this question.


1) Scenary I. Known mass.


Whether you are given the mass or other information that permits to calculate the mass of methane, you can work with the molecular formula to calculate the number of moles, in this way:


i) Methane chemical formula: CH₄


ii) Molar masss: sum the mass of each element in the formula, using the atomic mass and number of atoms of each.


Molar mass = 12.011 g/mol + 4× 1.008 g/ mol = 16.043 g/mol


iii) Number of moles


Formula: number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass = mass in grams / 16.043 g/mol.


That is it. Use the last formula to calculate the number of moles of methane.


2) Scenary 2. P, T,and V known.


You do not know the mass but the conditions: temperature (T), volume (V), and pressure (P).


In this case you use the ideal gas equation:


PV = nRT, from which you clear for the number of moles (n):


n = PV/(RT).


Plug in the data of P, V and T in coherent unit system.


R is the universal law of gases, which you must also use with the appropiate units, depending on the units of P, V, and T used.


For example, R = 0.0821 atm×liter / (K×mol); and R = 8.314 KPa×liter/(mol×K).

How many molecules are in 6.0g of sodium phosphate?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

2.2 x 10²² molecules.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles in (6.0 g) sodium phosphate:

<em>no. of moles = mass/molar mass </em>= (6.0 g)/(163.94 g/mol) = <em>0.0366 mol.</em>

  • <em>It is known that every mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules.</em>

<em />

<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of sodium phosphate contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

0.0366 mole of sodium phosphate contains → ??? molecules.

<em>∴ The no. of molecules in  6.0 g of sodium phosphate</em> = (6.022 x 10²³ molecules)(0.0366 mole)/(1.0 mole) = <em>2.2 x 10²² molecules.</em>

Are all acids dangerous? Give at least two examples to show what you mean.
juin [17]

Answer:

Laboratory acids are far too dangerous to taste, but you will have swallowed some dilute weak acids. Acids have a sour taste, like vinegar, which contains ethanoic acid, and lemons, which contain citric acid. These are safe to use in food, but they can still hurt if they get into a cut or into your eyes.

Explanation:

They can safely be consumed and do not irritate the skin. However, at greater concentrations weak acids can be harmful. Acids can react violently with water and are harmful in the presence of moisture in the mouth or eyes or in proximity with other aqueous solutions.

hope that helps!
