Answer:

8.33mol/L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the molar mass of of formaldehyde (CH2O). This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CH2O = 12 + (2x1) + 16 = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30g/mol

Mass of CH2O from the question = 0.25g

Number of mole CH2O =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of CH2O = 0.25/30 = 8.33x10^-3mole

Now we can calculate the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) as follow:

Number of mole of CH2O = 8.33x10^-3mole

Volume = 1mL

Converting 1mL to L, we have:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore 1mL = 1/1000 = 1x10^-3L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 8.33x10^-3mole/1x10^-3L

Molarity = 8.33mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) is 8.33mol/L

Because copper is a metal, it is what?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet. And, its antimicrobial property is becoming increasingly important to the prevention of infection. It ranks third after iron and aluminum in terms of quantities consumed in the USA.

PLEASE HELP I NEED IT!!!!!

galina1969 [7]

Answer:
Molarity = 2.3 M

Explanation:
Molarity can be calculated using the following rule:
Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution

1- getting the number of moles:
We are given that:
mass of solute = 105.96 grams
From the periodic table:
atomic mass of carbon = 12 grams
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
atomic mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of C2H6O = 2(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 46 grams
Now, we can get the number of moles as follows:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = 105.96 / 46 = 2.3 moles

2- The volume of solution is given = 1 liter

3- getting the molarity:
molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution
molarity = 2.3 / 1
molarity = 2.3 M

Hope this helps :)

Is Al2O3 an acid or a base?

kirza4 [7]

$Al_2O_3$ is aluminium oxide (also called aloxide, aloxite and alundum). It is neither acid nor base. It has amphoteric nature meaning it can act as an acid with bases and as a base with acids. It neutralises them to salts.

C. Chemical energy. What is the difference in chemical energy between organic and inorganic

Olenka [21]

There are chief differences between organic and inorganic compounds. ... The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms.
