How many atoms are in 0.075 mol of titanium?
Annette [7]
The mass of titanium is = 47,867 g/1mol

Applying the rule of avrogado

1mol _______ 6,023 × 10^(23) at

0,075mol ___ x


X . 1mol = 0,075mol . 6,023 . 10^(23)at

X = 0,075 . 6,023 . 10^(23) at

X = 4,51 . 10^(22) atoms

Hope this helps

How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

C) It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy for a reaction.
  • Catalyst is used to increase the reaction rate, it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction and it does not change the equilibrium constant.
  • Activation energy is a minimum amount of energy required to initiate the reaction.

Describe any new ways you can change the polarity of the three-atom molecule.
yan [13]

-  By changing three atom bond angle , we can change molecular polarity. if bond angle is 120° and all atom has same electronegativity, the resultant polarity ( dipole moment ) become zero. we can change bond anngle either less than or greater than 120°, but not exactly 120

-  Replacing one or more atom with different atoms having electro negativity values also make molecular poles.

-  By placing molecules under external electric field or magnetic field also causes to the molecule.

The octet rule states that the formula for a compound is derived by Group of answer choices having a net charge of magnitude 8.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Atoms bonds with 8 electrons

Explanation:

Octet rule is a chemical rule that shows elements in main group bond so that each atom have 8 valence electrons in the outmost shell which make them to have similar electronic configuration with Noble gases This is important because the sharing of electrons make atoms to have full shell. Atoms with electrons not up to 8 react with more stable compound.
