Answer: 10.2 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaH_2(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2H_2(g)

According to the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = Pressure of the gas = 740 torr =  0.97 atm    (760torr=1atm)

V= Volume of the gas = 12.0 L

T= Temperature of the gas = 19°C = 292 K    0^0C=273K

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n= moles of gas

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.97\times 12.0}{0.0821\times 292}

n=0.48

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of hydrogen are generated by = 1 mole of CaH_2

Thus 0.48 moles of hydrogen are generated by =\frac{1}{2}\times 0.48=0.24 moles of CaH_2

Mass of  CaH_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.24mol\times 42g/mol=10.2g

Thus 10.2 grams of CaH_2 are needed to generate 12.0 L of hydrogen gas if the pressure of hydrogen is 740. torr at 19°C

viktelen [127]

Answer: The solution is a SATURATED solution.

Explanation:

Although most substances are soluble in water, some are more soluble than others,that is , their solubilities differ. SOLUBILITY is a means of comparing the extent to which different solutes can dissolve in a particular solvent at a definite temperature.

From the question above, when water was added to the sodium acetate in the flask, SOME of the chemical dissolved into the water, meaning that some remained undissolved. This is because a given volume of water can only dissolve a certain amount of chemical in it at room temperature. If more chemical is added to such a solution, the chemical will remain undissolved. Such a chemical solution is said to be a SATURATED SOLUTION.

A saturated solution of a solute at a particular temperature is on which contains as much solute as it can dissolve at that temperature in the presence of undissolved solute particles.

Unsaturated solution is a type of solution that dissolves all its solutes with no presence of undissolved solute.

Supersaturated solution is one which contains more of the solute than it can normally hold at that temperature. It is an unstable solution which crystallizes out when disturbed.

How many molecules is 0.360 mole of water?
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

Explanation:

1mole of H2O contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore 0.360mole of H2O will contain = 0.36 x 6.02x10^23 = 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

How many electron are in 56fe 3
RSB [31]
The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on

Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on

Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on

Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom

You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.

In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.
