Answer:

A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter.

Explanation:

A mineral is naturally formed, inorganic, solid, with a fixed chemical composition, and crystalline structure. A rock at the surface of the Earth would need to be weathered down into sediments.

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess P4)?

ludmilkaskok [199]

0.3268 moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess

P4)

<h3>How to calculate moles?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is

$P_{4} + 10Cl_{2} = 4PCl_{5}$

The mass of clorine is m( $Cl_{2}$ ) = 58.0 g

The amount of clorine is n( $Cl_{2}$ ) = m( $Cl_{2}$ )/M( $Cl_{2}$ ) = 58/70.906 = 0.817 mol

The stoichiometric reaction,shows that

10 moles of $Cl_{2}$ yield 4 moles of $PCl_{5}$ ;

0.817 of $Cl_{2}$ yield x moles of $PCl_{5}$

n( $PCl_{5}$ ) = 4*0.817/10 = 0.3268 mol

When elemental boron, B, is burned in oxygen gas, the product is diboron trioxide. If the diboron trioxide is then reacted with

zalisa [80]

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the reaction of elemental boron and oxygen gas follows:

$4B+3O_2\rightarrow 2B_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of elemental boron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of diboron trioxide.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and water follows:

$B_2O_3+3H_2O\rightarrow 2H_3BO_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of diboron trixoide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 2 moles of boric acid.

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
