Answer: mole

A formula unit represents the simplest ratio of elements in a mole of an ionic compound.

Explanation:

The formula unit, also known as the empirical formula, gives the simplest whole number ratio of the components of the elements in a mole of an ionic compound.

Thus, the formula unit and the molecular formula of a compound can be the same.

For example: Glucose with C6H12O6 will have a formula unit of CH2O. Thus, the simplest ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in glucose is 1:2:1

Answer:

Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous beneficial services for people and for fish and wildlife. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands.

When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mass of CaCl₂ =  20 g

CaCO is presewnt in excess.

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted =  7.007 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 25 g

Mass of hydrochloric acid = 13.0 g

Mass of calcium chloride produced = ?

Chemical equation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl  →  CaCl₂  + H₂O + CO₂

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CaCO₃= 25.0 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = 0.25 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles of  HCl = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of HCl = 13.0 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles of HCl = 0.36 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaCl₂ with HCl and CaCO₃ .

                  CaCO₃         :               CaCl₂

                    1                 :               1

                 0.25              :            0.25

                HCl                :                CaCl₂

                 2                   :                    1

                 0.36            :                  1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

The number of moles of CaCl₂ produced by HCl are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCl₂ =0.18 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂ =  20 g

The calcium carbonate is present in excess.

                HCl                :                CaCO₃

                 2                   :                    1

                 0.36            :                  1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

So, 0.18 moles react with 0.36 moles of HCl.

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.25 -0.18

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = Moles × molar mass

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted =  7.007 g

What occurs when the nuclei of two very small atoms combine into one large nucleus?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The combination of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus is known as Fussion. The consequence of fusion is the absorption or release of energy.

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 18.8 g of CO2 and 6.75 g of H2O.
Inessa05 [86]
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C 
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,

<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>

<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>

<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula: 
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>
