<span>0.127 moles The formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9 so let's first calculate the molar mass of it. Carbon = 12.0107 Nitrogen = 14.0067 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 C3H5N3O9 = 3 * 12.0107 + 5 * 1.00794 + 3 * 14.0067 + 9 * 15.999 = 227.0829 Now calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin you have by dividing the mass by the molar mass 2.50 ml * 1.592 g/ml / 227.0829 g/mol = 0.017527 mol The balanced formula for when nitroglycerin explodes is 4 C3H5N3O9 => 12 CO2 + 10 H2O + O2 + 6 N2 Since all of the products are gasses at the time of the explosion, there is a total of 29 moles of gas produced for every 4 moles of nitroglycerin Now multiply the number of moles of nitroglycerin by 29/4 0.017527 mol * 29/4 = 0.12707075 moles Round to 3 significant figures, giving 0.127 moles</span>

1. the purpose of the aqueous solutions in a galvanic cell is to?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1. The correct option is;

c. maintains charge balance in the cell

2. The correct option is;

c. +3.272 V

Explanation:

The aqueous solution in a galvanic cell is the electrolyte which is a ionic solution containing that permits the transfer of ions between the separated compartment of the galvanic cell such that the overall system is electrically neutral

Therefore, the aqueous solution maintains the charge balance in the cell

2. Here we have;

B₂ + 2e⁻ → 2B⁻ Ecell = 0.662 V

A⁺ + 1e⁻ → A Ecell = -1.305 V

Hence for the overall reaction, we have;

2A + B₂ → 2AB gives;

(0.662) - 2×(-1.305)  = +3.272 V.

Why does magnesium oxide have a high melting point?
Mandarinka [93]

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound ( because it consists of a metal and a non-metal)

In ionic compounds, electrons from the outer shell exchange between the atoms so that they each get a full outer shell. Once these electrons are exchange, the atoms will become ions. One ion will have a positive charge, and the other ion will have a negative charge. The positive and negative ions then bond strongly together in a lattice structure, due to the <u>electrostatic forces of attraction</u>.

These <u>electrostatic forces of attraction</u> are very strong and require a lot of energy to break, as such the compound will have <u>a high melting point</u>.

__________________________________________

Now lets look at the ionic bonding between magnesium and oxygen:

In the outer shell of Magnesium, there are 2 electrons.

In the outer shell Oxygen, there are 6 electrons.

Magnesium gives it's two electrons to Oxygen, so that the Oxygen now has a full outer shell of 8 electrons. However, since Oxygen gained two electrons, it will form a negatively charged ion with a charge of -2.

Since Magnesium lost the two electrons, it's second shell (which has 8 eletrons) now becomes the outer shell. So Magnesium also now has a full outer shell. But since it has lost two electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion with a charge of + 2.

The positive Magnesium ion and negative Oxygen ion and now strongly attracted to each other, and form a strong ionic compound (magnesium oxide) with a lattice structure.

The <u>electrostatic forces of attraction</u> between the positive Magnesium and negative Oxygen are so strong that <u>a lot of heat and energy are needed to break them</u>.

<u>Therefore magnesium oxide has a high melting point.</u>

Conductors have(blank) <br> resistance.<br><br> Moderate. <br> Very High. <br> Very low.
Flura [38]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Very low</em>

Explanation:

In physics, resistance can be described as the opposition to the flow of current or the flow of electrons. Conductors are known to be materials which can conduct electricity. Hence, conductivity and resistance are opposite to each other. Good conductors will have very little or no resistance and will have enhanced conductivity. On the contrary, insulators are materials which will have more resistance and they cannot conduct electricity as efficiently.
