Atomic elements consist of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge whilst neutrons are electrically neutral. In light elements with an atomic number less than 20, the neutron to proton ratio is generally equal to 1:1. This changes for heavier elements since the Coulomb interaction between many protons gets stronger and demands more neutrons for the nucleus to remain stable.

baherus [9]

Answer: 1. $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles

2. 90 mg

Explanation:

$O_3(g)+2NaI(aq)+H_2O(l) \rightarrow O_2(g)+I_2(s)+2NaOH(aq)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $4.54 \times 10^{-6}$ moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 4.54 \times 10^{-6}=9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide are needed to remove $4.54\times 10^{-6}$ moles of $O_3$

2. $\text{Number of moles of ozone}=\frac{0.01331g}{48g/mol}=0.0003moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus 0.0003 moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0003=0.0006$ moles of sodium iodide.

Mass of sodium iodide= $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0006\times 150g/mol=0.09g=90mg$ (1g=1000mg)

Thus 90 mg of sodium iodide are needed to remove 13.31 mg of $O_3$ .

Calculates the equivalent mass of calcium chlorate CA (CI03) 2

love history [14]

Answer:

207g

Explanation:

Given compound:

Ca(ClO₃)₂

The equivalent mass can be derived by summing the molar masses of each atom

Molar mass of Ca = 40

Cl = 35.5

O = 16

Now solve;

Molar mass = 40 + 2(35.5 + 3(16)) = 207g
