Answer:

An Atom.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist. It the fundamental piece of matter. Therefore, splitting carbon into smaller pieces , the smallest piece that would still be called "carbon" would be an Atom of carbon. However, atom is also made of three subatomic particles called electrons, protons and neutrons.

A certain sample of coal contains 1.60 percent sulfur by mass. when the coal is burned, the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxid
alina1380 [7]
<span>1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide The reaction looks like SO2 + CaO => CaSO3 First, determine the mass of sulfur in the coal 5.00 x 10^6 * 1.60 x 10^-2 = 8.00 x 10^4 Now lookup the atomic weights of Sulfur, Calcium, and Oxygen. Sulfur = 32.065 Calcium = 40.078 Oxygen = 15.999 Calculate the molar mass of CaO CaO = 40.078 + 15.999 = 56.077 Since 1 atom of sulfur makes 1 atom of sulfur dioxide, we don't need the molar mass of sulfur dioxide. We merely need the number of moles of sulfur we're burning. divide the mass of sulfur by the atomic weight. 8.00 x 10^4 / 32.065 = 2.49 x 10^3 moles Since 1 molecule of sulfur dioxide is reacted with 1 molecule of calcium oxide, just multiply the number of moles needed by the molar mass 2.49 x 10^3 * 56.077 = 1.40 x 10^5 So you need to use 1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide per day to treat the sulfur dioxide generated by burning 5.00 x 10^6 kilograms of coal with 1.60% sulfur.</span>

Determine the oxidation state of the metal ion in [co(nh3)5br]2+. express your answer as an integer.
Zanzabum
                                           [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺

Ligands and charges on them,

                             5 × NH₃  =  5 × 0  =  0

                             1 × Br⁻¹  =  1 × -1  =  -1

Charge on sphere  =  +2

So, putting values in equation,

                                       Co + (0)₅ - 1  =  +2

                                       Co + 0 - 1  =  +2

                                       Co - 1  =  +2

                                       Co  =  +2 + 1

                                       Co  =  +3

Result:
           Oxidation state of Co in [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺ is +3.

Our skies are blue because of what kind of light? (for my science class pls help- :&lt;)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

"Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time."
