Chemistry

1 answer:

DochEvi [55]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

0.26 moles

Explanation:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Mass of SiO2 = 15.5g

Molar mass of SiO2 = 60.08g/mol

Number of moles = 15.5g/60.08g/mol

=0.257

= 0.26 moles

if 11.74 liters of gas at STP are pumped into a basketball, how many moles of gas are in the basketball? assume the basketball w

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.52 mol

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation formula:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (Liters)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

At STP (standard temperature and pressure), temperature of a gas is 273K, while its pressure is 1 atm

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1 × 11.74) ÷ (0.0821 × 273)

n = 11.74 ÷ 22.41

n = 0.52 mol

There are 0.52 moles in the basketball

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
