NikAS [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation is 11

Explanation:

A reaction where an organic compound reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is called combustion.

The balance reaction of combustion for methanol is:

2CH₃OH (l) + 3O₂(g) →  2CO₂(g)  +  4H₂O (g)

Coefficients from stoichiometry are 2, 3, 2 and 4

Sum =  2 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 11

How many molecules are there in 560 grams of CoCl2?​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

25.89  × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CoCl₂ = 560 g

Number of molecules present = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CoCl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 560 g/ 129.84 g/mol

Number of moles = 4.3 mol

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

4.3 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ molecules /1 mol

25.89  × 10²³ molecules

Which of the following is true about nuclear fusion
Sonja [21]

Answer:

 i would assume that it would be (a)

Explanation:

The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion

NUCLEAR FISSION is when the heavy atom is split

fusion energy is scientifically feasible. Plasma conditions that are very close to those required in a fusion reactor are now routinely reached in experiments

mass gets lost is nuclear fusion

so (a) is the most accurate

Why don’t all of the particles in an atom contribute to the mass?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an atom is dependent on its number of protons and neutrons. Electrons have mass, but are too light in comparison to protons and neutrons to contribute towards the overall mass. Their relative mass is about 1/1840 compared to 1 for protons and neutrons, and therefore are not counted in the mass.

Hope this helped!
