Answer:

4

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by N_0.

Also, it is the number of particles in exactly 12.000 g of isotope carbon 12.

Avogadro constant:-

N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}

Hence,

Mass of XeF_n = 131.293+ n18.998 g

So,

6.023\times 10^{23}  molecules have a mass of 131.293+ n18.998 g

Also,

1  molecules have a mass of \frac{(131.293+ n18.998)}{6.023\times 10^{23}} g

So,

5.0\times 10^{20}  molecules have a mass of \frac{(131.293+ n18.998)}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 5.0\times 10^{20} g

Also, given mass = 0.172 g

Thus,

\frac{(131.293+ n18.998)}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 5.0\times 10^{20}=0.172

\frac{18.998n+131.293}{1204.6}=0.172

18.998n+131.293=207.1912

n=\frac{75.8982}{18.998}=4

<u>Thus, value of n is 4.</u>

How is the Law of Conservation of Mass, Matter, Phases of Matter, and Physical/Chemical Changes similar/connected to one another
kogti [31]

Answer:

Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don't move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid.

Why do crisp packets become inflated at high altitudes? Again, explain in as great a detail as possible, using ideas about parti
Andrei [34K]
As you get higher the atmospheric pressure lowers. The pressure in the packet of crisps has the pressure at which it has been closed (pressure at the surface of the earth). This means that the air molecules in the packet press harder outside than the air molecules in the atmosphere press on the packet.

Describe how glacial erosion influenced the topography of Ohio.
Marianna [84]

During the past two million years, glaciers have shaped and reshaped the surface of Ohio several times. These continental masses of ice affected as much as two-thirds of the state. Moving from the north and northwest, glaciers have scraped and flattened the landscape. Often more than a mile thick, they smoothed existing hills and filled valleys with enormous amounts of rocks, gravel, and smaller particles.  Through these actions, glaciers have had a very important impact on the agriculture of Ohio. Their activity has been felt in two noticeable ways: shaping the ground upon which people work and build, and forming the soils that cover that ground.

The correct answers :

It increases with a decrease in the concentration of H₂(g).

It decreases with an increase in the concentration of S₂(g).

It decreases with an increase in the concentration of H₂(g).

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Forward reaction : rate to form product

In equilibrium :

The product decreases ⇒ system will move from left to right(forward reaction)

The product increases ⇒ system will move from right to left(reverse reaction)
