Answer:

A scientific claim is a statement about the results of your experiment that is supported by evidence gathered during the experiment and reasoning that explains how the evidence is connected to the claim. For example: Claim: Air is matter.

You have 16.7 grams of hydrogen and 15.4 grams of oxygen in a synthesis rxn. Which is the limiting reagent?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g

Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.35 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,

H₂ : H₂O

2 : 2

8.35 : 8.35

O₂ : H₂O

1 : 2

0.48 : 2×0.48 = 0.96 mol

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.

Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?

EastWind [94]

The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.

ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.

Convert 3.01 x 10^24 molecules of ammonium sulfate to mass

Dmitry [639]

Mass of ammonium sulfate = 660.7 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3.01 x 10²⁴ molecules of ammonium sulfate

Required

mass

Solution

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

mol ammonium sulfate (NH₄)₂SO₄ :

n = N : No

n = 3.01 x 10²⁴ : 6.02 x 10²³

n = 5

mass ammonium sulfate :

= mol x MW

= 5 x 132,14 g/mol

= 660.7 g

Complete and balance the molecular equation for the reaction of aqueous sodium carbonate, Na 2 CO 3 , and aqueous nickel(II) chl

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

NiCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) ---> NiCO3 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

Explanation:

Soluble ionic compounds exist as ions in solution.

Na 2CO3, will contain Na2CO3 (aq) --> 2Na ^+ (aq) + CO2 ^-3 (aq)

The same way, a solution of calcium chloride,

CaCl 2, will contain CaCl2 (aq) --> Ca2^+ (aq) + 2Cl^− (aq)

Mixing both solution, the calcium cations

Ca 2^+ , will apir up with the carbonate anions, CO2^−3 , and form the Insoluble calcium carbonate, CaCO ^3, which precipitates out of solution.

The complete ionic equation, which features all the ions that are present in solution, will be like this

2 Na^+ (aq) + CO2^−3 (aq) + Ca2^+ (aq) + 2Cl^− (aq) --> CaCO 3 ↓ (s) + 2Na^+ (aq) + 2Cl^− (aq)

Notice that you have two sodium cations and two chloride anions on the products' side, which is why you have 2NaCl

NiCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) ---> NiCO3 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
