What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.

Bond [772]
<span>C. C4H8 Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct. A. C2H2 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. B. C2H6 This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. C. C4H8 This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer. D. C6H6 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.</span>

What is the mass of 2.9 moles of calcium? Explain please
Alik [6]

Answer:

116 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of calcium = 2.9 moles

Mass of calcium =.?

The mole and mass of a substance are related according to the following formula:

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above formula, we can obtain the mass of calcium. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole of calcium = 2.9 moles

Molar mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Mass of calcium =.?

Mole = mass / molar mass

2.9 = mass of calcium / 40

Cross multiply

Mass of calcium = 2.9 × 40

Mass of calcium = 116 g

Therefore, the mass of 2.9 moles of calcium is 116 g.

In the article, Invasion of the Periodical Cicadas, why do scienctists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years?
frez [133]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

What can you tell by tracking oxidation numbers?
Alla [95]

<u>Answer</u>:

By tracking oxidation numbers we can identify the number electron in the atom

<u>Explanation</u>:

Tracking of electrons helps us to know when and how many electrons get transferred from one atom to other atom . Oxidation  referred as the “loss of one or more electrons” by an atom. When the oxidation number of an element increases, there is a loss of electrons and that element is being oxidized. Oxidation numbers are usually written with the sign (+plus or −minus) followed by the magnitude, which is the opposite of charges on ions. In their elemental stage oxidation number of an atom is zero.
