Explanation:

As it is known that in solids, molecules are held together because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are held together and have definite shape and volume.

Whereas in liquids, molecules are not held so strongly as they are in solids. Hence, they move from their initial position and they do not have definite shape but they have definite volume.

Liquids obtain the shape of container in which they are kept.

In gases, molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces. As a result, they move far apart from each other and occupy the space of a container or vessel in which they are placed.

The physical state (at room temperature) of the following are determined as follows:

(a)  Helium in a toy balloon : Helium at room temperature exists as a gas. So, when helium is present in a toy balloon then it acquires the volume of toy balloon.

(b)   Mercury in a thermometer : Mercury at room temperature exists as a liquid. When it is placed in a thermometer then volume of mercury does not get affected.

(c)    Soup in a bowl : Since, soup is a liquid. Hence, its volume will not change according to the volume of container.

Calculate the mass of magnesium carbonate ( MgCO3), in grams, required to produce 110.0 g of carbon dioxide using the following
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

210.7~g~MgCO_3

Explanation:

We have to start with the <u>reaction</u>:

MgCO_3~->~MgO~+~CO_2

We have the same amount of atoms on both sides, so, we can continue. The next step is to find the <u>number of moles</u> that we have in the 110.0 g of carbon dioxide, to this, we have to know the <u>atomic mass of each atom</u>:

C: 12 g/mol

O: 16 g/mol

Mg: 23.3 g/mol

If we take into account the number of atoms in the formula, we can calculate the <u>molar mass</u> of carbon dioxide:

(12*1)+(16*2)=44~g/mol

In other words: 1~mol~CO_2=~44~g~CO_2. With this in mind, we can calculate the moles:

110~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=25~mol~CO_2

Now, the <u>molar ratio</u> between carbon dioxide and magnesium carbonate is 1:1, so:

2.5~mol~CO_2=2.5~mol~MgCO_3

With the molar mass of MgCO_3 ((23.3*1)+(12*1)+(16*3)=84.3~g/mol. With this in mind, we can calculate the <u>grams of magnesium carbonate</u>:

2.5~mol~MgCO_3\frac{84.3~g~MgCO_3}{1~mol~MgCO_3}=210.7~g~MgCO_3

I hope it helps!

What is the charge on an ion that contains 16 protons and 18 electrons?
Alika [10]
16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is
Zinaida [17]

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is hollow cathode lamp--flame--monochromator--detector

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The hollow cathode lamp practices a cathode created of the element of interest with a low internal pressure of inert gas.
  • Remove scattered light of other wavelengths from the flame. AAS flame includes aiming at first the fuel than the oxidant and then lighting the flame with the instrument's auto-ignition system. Applying flame Ddtroy any analyte ions and breakdown complexes.
  • The process  of the monochromator is to divide analytical lines photons moving through the flame
  • Photomultiplier tube (PMT)  as the detector the PMT determines the intensity of photons of the analytical line exiting the monochromator.
