Answer:

Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.

Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,

(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021

= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.

So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be

(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)

= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.

1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is

20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)

= $5,840,000,000,000,000

How many moles are in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate?
Svetlanka [38]

Hey there!

Magnesium chlorate: Mg(ClO₃)₂

Find molar mass.

Mg: 1 x 24.305 = 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453 = 70.906

O: 6 x 16 = 96

------------------------------------

                      191.211 g/mol

We have 187.54 grams.

187.54 ÷ 191.211 = 0.9808

There are 0.9808 moles in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate.

Hope this helps!

The following unbalanced equation illustrates the overall reaction by which the body utilizes glucose to produce energy: C6H12O6
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

the conversion factor is f= 6  mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

Explanation:

First we need to balance the equation:

C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) (unbalanced)

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) (balanced)

the conversion factor that allows to calculate the number of moles of CO2 based on moles of glucose is:

f = stoichiometric coefficient of CO2 in balanced reaction / stoichiometric coefficient of glucose in balanced reaction

f = 6 moles of CO2 / 1 mol of glucose = 6  mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

f = 6 mol of CO2/ mol of glucose

for example, for 2 moles of glucose the number of moles of CO2 produced are

n CO2 = f * n gluc = 6 moles of CO2/mol of glucose * 2 moles of glucose= 12 moles of CO2

Consider the following equilibrium reaction having gaseous reactants and products. 4HCl + O2 ⇌ 2H2O + Cl2 Which of the following
gulaghasi [49]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

B.The rate of forward reaction increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Le Chatelier's principle states that changing a factor such as concentration, temperature, or pressure of a reaction at equilibrium will cause the reaction to shift in the direction that counteracts the effect of that change.
  • <em><u>Therefore, when reactants are added to a reaction at equilibrium shift when more reactants are added then the reaction shifts to the right to make more products.</u></em>
