Answer:

All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.

For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.

The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces

Oxana [17]

Answer:

1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

2. 79.3g

Explanation:

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>

NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1atm.(43.0L)}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).286.2K} =1.83mol$

The moles of NaN₃ are:

$1.83molN_{2}.\frac{1molNaN_{3}}{1.5molN_{2}} =1.22molNaN_{3}$

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:

$1.22mol.\frac{65.01g}{mol} =79.3g$

Part A:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0 grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

What is the molality of a solution made by dissolving 15.20 g of i2 in 1.33 mol of diethyl ether, (ch3ch2)2o?

Paraphin [41]

The molarity of solution made by dissolving 15.20g of i2 in 1.33 mol of diethyl ether (CH3CH2)2O is =0.6M

calculation

molarity =moles of solute/ Kg of the solvent

mole of the solute (i2) = mass /molar mass
the molar mass of i2 = 126.9 x2 = 253.8 g/mol

moles is therefore= 15.2 g/253.8 g/mol = 0.06 moles

calculate the Kg of solvent (CH3CH2)2O
mass = moles x molar mass
molar mass of (CH3CH2)2O= 74 g/mol

mass is therefore = 1.33 moles x 74 g/mol = 98.42 grams
in Kg = 98.42 /1000 =0.09842 Kg

molarity is therefore = 0.06/0.09842 = 0.6 M
