2 1^/4 + 11^/2 = 9^/4 + 3^/2 = 9^/4 + 6^/4 = 15^/4 = 3 3^/4

Answer:

$\frac{15}{4}$ pounds of cheese Sam had bought altogether.

Explanation:

Mass of Swiss cheese bought by Sam = $2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4} pounds$

Mass of cheddar cheese bought by Sam = $1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} pounds$

Total mas of cheese bought by Sam:

$\frac{9}{4} pounds+\frac{3}{2} pounds$

$=\frac{9\times 2+3\times 4}{4\times 2} pounds=\frac{30}{8} pounds=\frac{15}{4} pounds$

$\frac{15}{4} pounds=3\frac{3}{4}$ pounds

$\frac{15}{4}$ pounds of cheese Sam had bought altogether.

Can someone help please!!!!

Valentin [98]

2. 5 acids: coffee, lemonade, soda pop, orange juice, vinegar

5bases: ammonia, baking soda, cough medicine, liquid soaps

3. Acids are very common in some of the foods we eat.

Bases have properties that mostly contrast with those acids

4. Acid+Base=H2O+Salt

HCI+NaOH=H2O+NaCI

Explanation:

2. (all those acids are strong (in pH meaning those are weak and don't affect you) (most the bases are very strong like ammonia)

4. Salt means any ionic compound formed from an acid/base reaction

please hurry! If 3.87g of powdered aluminum oxide is placed in a container containing 5.67g of water, what is the limiting react

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g

Mass of water = 5.67g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.

Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;

Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃

Number of moles;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole

number of moles = $\frac{3.87}{102}$ = 0.04mole

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole

number of moles = $\frac{5.67}{18}$ = 0.32mole

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O

0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O

But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.

This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant

The atomic number tells us how many __ or __ an element contains.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:-
Electrons or Protons

Explanation:-
Atomic number (Z) is defined as:
>>“The total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic number”. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons.
>>“The total number of protons in the nucleus or electrons revolving around the nucleus of an atom”.
Example:
For instance, Hydrogen has the Atomic number(Z) 1.
Helium has the atomic number 2.
Oxygen has the atomic number 8.
| Note | Atomic number is represented by “Z”. And some ppl don’t consider the 2nd definition it’s upto u to do both or the standard one.
