Why is the symbol for a piece of aluminum foil written as AI, when it actually contains billions of aluminum atoms?

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Read Explanation

Explanation:

Aluminum foil does contain billions of atoms, but we write them just as Al because aluminum does not exist in single atom forms in normal circumstances but as billions in metallic bonds.

Assume that coal can be represented by the chemical formula C135H96O9NS. If 4.0 tons of coal is burned, what mass of nitrogen is

Schach [20]

Answer:

0.02 tons of NO produced when 4 tons of coal is burned

Explanation:

From the given,

Chemical formula of coal = $C_{134}H_{96}O_{9}NS$

Molecular mass of coal = $(134\times12)+(9\times1)+(9\times16)+14+32\,=1906.1gm$

Let’s calculate the mass of nitrogen in coal

$Percentage\,weight\,of\,nitrogen=\frac{Mass\,of\,nitrogen}{Molecular\,mass\,of coal}$

$Percentage\,weight/,of/,nitrogen=\frac{14}{1906.1}=0.73%$

Amount of coal burnt = 4tons

Amount of NO produced by burning 4tons = $4\,tons\,of\,coal\times \frac{0.73tons}{100\,tons\,of\,coal}=0.0292\,tons$

This nitrogen is converted into NO by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.

P4O10 -> 4P+5O2 How many moles of phosphorus would be produced if 5.3 mol of P4O10 reacted?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

21.2 moles.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, we can see there is a 1:4 mole ratio between tetraphosphorous decaoxide and phosphorous; therefore, the following proportional factor provides the requested moles of phodphorous:

$n_P=5.3molP_4O_{10} *\frac{4molP}{1molP_4O_{10}} \\\\n_P=21.2molP$

Best regards!

Organisms reproduce by two main methods. One is division, in which the animal divides and creates an exact copy of itself. What

uysha [10]

Division (asexual) method, and the sexual method of reproduction where two organisms produce an offspring. The sexual reproduction requires the interaction of two organisms; gametes, typically a fertilization. The offspring consists of characteristics derived from both of the parental organisms.

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
