Answer:

  • <u>You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.</u>

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

<u />

<u>1. Number of moles, n</u>

      n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol

<u />

<u>2. Mass</u>

  • mass = number of moles × atomic mass
  • mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

KOH molarity = moles/volume
 find moles of OH do the same thing for: 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) but for H+ they will cancel out: H+ + OH- -> H2O
 but you'll have some left over,
 pH=-log[H+] pOH

Citrus2011 [14]
The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO
Lena [83]

Answer: a) Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2:  Decomposition

b) NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2: double displacement

c) CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3: Synthesis (Combination)

d) ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn: redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn
