The correct option is D.

The major component of rust is Fe2O3. To know the number of atom in one molecule of rust, one have to look at the chemical formula of rust and determine the different atoms that are present and their numbers. Looking at the chemical formula above, one will notice that, two atoms of iron is present and three atoms of oxygen. The number of atoms present are written in front of the chemical symbol of each element. two atoms of iron added to three atoms of oxygen will give 5 atoms. Thus, five atoms are present in one molecule of rust.

Correct answer  would be D.5 because there are 2 iron atoms and 3 oxygen atoms.

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate, NiSO4?
guapka [62]

As I understand from your question, we should synthesize nickel sulfate first from nickel (II) oxide and sulfuric acid and second from nickel carbonate and sulfuric acid.

The chemical reactions will look like this:

NiO (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

NiCO₃ (aq)* + H₂SO₄ → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂CO₃ (aq)

but carbonic acid will decompose to carbon dioxide and water

H₂CO₃ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

(*) NiCO₃ has a poor solubility in water, but enough to start the reaction.

After decaying for 48 hours, 1/16 of the original mass of a radioisotope sample remains unchanged. What is the half life of this
nika2105 [10]

The half life of this radioisotope is 12 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The length of time it requires to break down for an initial half amount or the amount of time taken to transform half of a reactant into product. Half of a particular sample took the time to experience radioactive decay. The time it would take to degrade radioactively into another component or nuclide for half of the atoms of an unstable element or nuclide.

If 1/16 of the sample remains it predicts that there were 4 half-life periods then 16 = 2⁴

4 half-life periods = 48 hours / 4

half-life period = 12 hours.

How many moles is 573.28 g of AgCl?
g100num [7]

Answer:

4 moles

Explanation:

First, let's find the molar mass of AgCl. The molar mass of Ag is 107.87 and the molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 so the total mass is 107.87 + 35.45 = 143.32 grams per mole. Now all we need to calculate is 573.28 / 143.32 = 4 moles.
