Answer: 59 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

Given: mass of hydrogen = 6.6 g

mass of oxygen = 52.4 g

Mass of products = Mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = 6.6 +52.4 = 59 g grams

Thus mass or reactant = mass of water

Mass of reactants = mass of products = 59 g

Thus the mass of water initially present was 59 g.

8. If I have 34 grams of FeO, how many grams of Oxygen were synthesized?<br>Fe + O2 → Feo​
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

34 gram of FeO produced 8 gram of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of FeO = 34 g

Mass of oxygen = ?

Solution;

Chemical equation:

2FeO → 2Fe + O₂

Number of moles of FeO:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 34 g /71.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of FeO with oxygen:

             FeO       :       O₂

                2         :        1

                0.5      :      1/2 × 0.5 = 0.25

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  0.25 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 8 g

So 34 gram of FeO produced 8 gram of oxygen.

Which of the following nuclei would be the least stable
Brut [27]

Answer:

C. 1 proton 3 neutrons

Explanation:

A nucleus is more stable if the ratio of the neutrons to protons is between 1:1 and 1:1.5.

Thus the ratios of neutrons to protons for  the nuclei are as follows

A- 1:1

B- 1:1

C- 1:3

D- 1:2

Among these ratios, C is the greatest thus the nucleus is the least stable.

When The appearance of a system changes does the mass of the system also change why why not
seropon [69]
No, because the appearance has nothing to do with system as well as the fact that appearance is only how it looks

MANY DIE BECAUSE OF CORONA VIRUS But after analyzing the playback backwards, it turns out that fear of being exposed to the viru
monitta

Answer:

This is completely wrong. How could you possibly think like this?

Explanation:

First of all, wearing a mask excessively does not change the oxygen you breathe. It does, however, change <em>how</em> you breathe. You still breathe the same air, but your lungs are different.

Second of all, we do not breathe in more carbon dioxide, because it gets filtered out. (Side note: we don't 'excrete' carbon dioxide, we just filter it out of the air.)

Third of all, "taking medicine & supplements too much results in Stomach & HEART is weak." What medicine have we taken? The vaccine, (of which I will not state my opinions), but other than that, there are no medicines that the general populace has taken.

Lastly, fourth of all, how did we mishandle the pandemic? There are currently 197 million people that have gotten sick worldwide. Do you know how many more people would be sick if we hadn't done what we did?

Please research your beliefs before you post them on any site. Also, please do not post anything politics- or religious- based on Brainly, as that hits nerves for some people, like me.
