The day's length is not a settled unit of time.

The earth itself is jiggling around space, going on an amazingly slight bended way and the unrest is dialing down record of tidal movement and the moon moving possibly away.
The day's length changes amid the time and in addition about predictably or something to that effect, and extra hop second is added to the timetable.
The second is portrayed using different unrests of the cesium 133 particle at 0 Kelvin in light of the fact that isolated from quantum mechanics, it isn't at risk to coincidental segments.

9. How many grams are in 2.0 x 105 molecules of carbon monoxide?

timama [110]

Answer: 9.3 x 10^ 18 g CO

Explanation:

Start by knowing that carbon monoxide is the compound CO. To convert molecules to grams, you first need to convert molecules to moles. This can be done using the conversion factor for Avogadro's Number:

(2.0 x 10^5 molecules CO) x 1 mol CO / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules CO

This cancels molecules CO.

Then, you can convert moles to grams, which is your desired quantity. You can find the number of grams for CO by looking at the periodic table and adding together their masses. C = 12 g and O = 16 g. Total of 28 g CO:

(1 mol CO) x 28 g CO / 1 mol CO

This cancels mol CO, which leaves grams CO.

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.565 m sodium bromide solution using 315 grams of water. How many grams of sodium bro

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer : The mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.

Explanation :

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in kilograms of solvent.

Formula used :

$Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}$

Solute is, NaBr and solvent is, water.

Given:

Molality of NaBr = 0.565 mol/kg

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mole

Mass of water = 315 g

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.565mol/kg=\frac{\text{Mass of NaBr}\times 1000}{103g/mole\times 315g}$

$\text{Mass of NaBr}=18.3g$

Thus, the mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 36 g H₂O

[Solve] x g O₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol O₂ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mas of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O₂ - 2(16.00) = 32.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 36 \ g \ H_2O(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2O}{18.02 \ g \ H_2O})(\frac{2 \ mol \ O_2}{2 \ mol \ H_2O})(\frac{32.00 \ g \ O_2}{1 \ mol \ O_2})$
