A Chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. Substances are either chemical elements or compounds. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products.

How many grams of h3po4 are in 255 ml of a 4.50 m solution of h3po4?

murzikaleks [220]

H3PO4 has molecular weight of approximately 98 grams per mole. 4.50 M is equal to 4.50 mole per 1000 mL solution of H3PO4. 255 mL times 4.50 mol /1000 mL times 98 g/mol is equal to 112.455 grams. Note that I automatically equate 1 Liter to 1000 mL since the given volume is in mL for easier computation.

Microwave radiation has a wavelength on the order of 1.0 cm. Calculate the frequency and the energy of a single photon of this r

denis23 [38]

Answer :

(1) The frequency of photon is, $3\times 10^{10}Hz$

(2) The energy of a single photon of this radiation is $1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

(3) The energy of an Avogadro's number of photons of this radiation is, 11.97 J/mol

Explanation : Given,

Wavelength of photon = $1.0cm=0.01m$ (1 m = 100 cm)

(1) Now we have to calculate the frequency of photon.

Formula used :

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{0.01m}$

$\nu=3\times 10^{10}s^{-1}=3\times 10^{10}Hz$ $(1Hz=1s^{-1})$

The frequency of photon is, $3\times 10^{10}Hz$

(2) Now we have to calculate the energy of photon.

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$E=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^{10}s^{-1})$

$E=1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

The energy of a single photon of this radiation is $1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

(3) Now we have to calculate the energy in J/mol.

$E=1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

$E=(1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon)\times (6.022\times 10^{23}photon/mol)$

$E=11.97J/mol$

The energy of an Avogadro's number of photons of this radiation is, 11.97 J/mol

4NH3 + 3O2 --> 2N2 + 6H2O

larisa86 [58]

The balanced reaction is:

4NH3 + 3O2 --> 2N2 + 6H2O

We are given the amount of reactants to be used for the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation.

83.7g of O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g) = 2.62 mol O2

2.81 moles of NH3

From the balanced reaction, we have a 4:3 ratio of the reactants. The limiting reactant would be oxygen. We will use the amount for oxygen for further calculations.

2.62 mol O2 (6 mol H2O / 3 mol O2) (18.02 g H2O / 1 mol H2O) = 94.42 g H2O

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding

Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.

The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
