In potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄):
1) potassium has oxidation number +1, because it is metal in first group of Periodic table of elements.
2) sulfur has oxidation number +6.
3) oxygen has oxidation number -2, because it gain electrons from potassium and sulfur.
Compound has neutral charge: +1· 2 + 6 + (-2) · 4 = 0.

Roundup, an herbicide manufactured by Monsanto, has the formula C3H8NO5P. How many moles of molecules are there in a 783.5-g sam
anastassius [24]
First, is to solve the molar mass of the herbicide, with a formula
<span>C3H8NO5P
C3 = 12 ( 3 ) = 36
H8 = 1 ( 8 ) = 8
N = 14
O5 =  16 ( 5 ) = 80
P = 31
so in total the molar mass of </span><span>C3H8NO5P is 36 + 8 + 14 + 80 + 31 = 169 g/mol

number of moles = 783.5 g ( 1 mol / 169 g)
number of moles = 4.64 mol </span><span>C3H8NO5P</span>

“Na2SO3” represents sodium sulfite.What does the 4 mean in the formula 4Na2SO3?
Strike441 [17]

The mass of substance which consists the equal number of particles as 12 grams of Carbon-12 is said to be mole.

For example:

The balanced chemical equation for production of water from hydrogen and oxygen is:

2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

That means 2 moles of H_2 reacts with 1 mole of O_2 to give 2 moles of  H_2O.

The given formula is 4Na_2SO_3.

Hence, 4 represents the number of moles in 4Na_2SO_3 formula that is 4 moles of Na_2SO_3.

The number of atoms of sodium, Na in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 2 = 8

The number of atoms of sulfur, S in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 1 = 4

The number of atoms of oxygen in, O in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 3 = 12

How many grams of iron are in 350 mg of iron?-
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

0.350 g of iron

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of iron (m): 350 mg

Step 2: Convert the mass of iron to milligrams

In order to convert the mass of iron from grams to milligrams we need a conversion factor. In this case, the conversion factor is 1 g = 1,000 mg.

350 mg Fe × 1 g Fe/1,000 mg Fe = 0.350 g Fe

350 milligrams of iron is equal to 0.350 grams of iron. We conserve the 3 significante figures of the original data.

Consider the following three-step mechanism for a reaction: Cl2(g)⇌2Cl(g)Fast Cl(g)+CHCl3(g)→HCl(g)+CCl3(g)Slow Cl(g)+CCl3(g)→CC
kupik [55]
Following steps are involved in the reaction

Step 1:  <span>Cl2(g)⇌2Cl(g)

Step 2: </span><span>Cl(g)+CHCl3(g)→HCl(g)+CCl3(g)

Step 3: </span><span>Cl(g)+CCl3(g)→CCl4(g)
......................................................................................................
Overall reaction : </span>Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g) → HCl(g) + CCl4(g)

Note: Overall reaction is obtained by adding step 1-3 and canceling common terms that are present on reactant and product sides.
