Answer:

The ratio is 2:1, that is 2mol C / 1mol O2

Explanation:

First check to see if the equation is balanced. It is so now let's find the ratio.

The ratio is the stoichiomeric coefficient of the element or compound.

Carbon : Oxygen

2C : 1 O2 , so 2:1 ..

<u>Answer:</u> The mole ratio of carbon and oxygen in the given chemical reaction will be 2 : 1

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of number of moles of the two substances taken into account or the ratio of their respective stoichiometric coefficients.

The given chemical equation follows:

$2C+O_2\rightarrow 2CO$

Moles of carbon atom = 2

Moles of oxygen gas = 1

Moles of carbon monoxide gas = 2

So, the mole ratio of carbon and oxygen = 2 : 1

Hence, the mole ratio of carbon and oxygen in the given chemical reaction will be 2 : 1

Determine the number of atoms in 41.0 grams of calcium, Ca. (The mass of one mole of calcium is 40.08 g.)

Dovator [93]

Hi there!

Let me know if you have questions about my answer:

6.15 × 10²⁴

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms, divide the mass of calcium (m) by its molar mass (MM). This will give you the number of moles of calcium (n).

$n = m/MM$ Start with a formula

$=\frac{41.0g}{40.08g/mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{41.0g*1mol}{40.08g}$ Simplify

$= \frac{41.0mol}{40.08}$ Cancel out the units "g"

$= 1.022...mol$ Number of moles of calcium, with 4 significant figures

Then, multiply the number of moles of calcium (n) by Avogadro's number ( $N_{A}$ ) to find the number of calcium atoms.

$Number.of.Ca=n*N_{A}$ Start with a formula

$= 1.022mol*\frac{6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{1.022mol*6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Simplify

$= 1.022*(6.022*10^{23}Ca)$ Cancel out the units "mol"

$= 6.154*10^{24} Ca$ Multiply, leave one extra digit to help round. "4" tells you to round down.

$= 6.15*10^{24} Ca$ Final answer to 3 significant figures*

*When multiplying and dividing numbers, your final answer will have the same number of significant figures as the number with the least number of significant figures in the question.

40.08 has 4 significant figures. 41.0 has 3 significant figures. So, you want 3 significant figures in your final answer.

I hope this helps!

Increasing the amount of water in which the sugar is dissolved will increase the frequency of collisions between the sucrose mol

Sonja [21]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

When we increase the amount of solvent which is water in this case then it means there will occur an increase in the molecules. Hence, there will be more number of collisions to take place with increase in number of molecules.

Therefore, more is the amount of interaction taking place between the molecules of a solution more will be its rate of hydrolysis.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement increasing the amount of water in which the sugar is dissolved will increase the frequency of collisions between the sucrose molecules and the water molecules resulting in an increase in the rate of hydrolysis, is true.

It is important to understand that while the absorbance value is related to the amount of light absorbed by a sample, it is not

Trava [24]

When 100 photons of light pass through a sample and 64 photons are detected after the passage of light, the number of photons transmitted through the sample is 64.

This is based on the methods of calculating the absorbance of light, which is depicted as the higher the amount of light transmission, the lower the amount of light absorbed.

Thus, when 64 photons of light in 100 photons are detected, 64 photons are transmitted, and therefore, the number of photons absorbed is 36.

Hence, hypothetically, if 100 photons of light are transmitted, 0 photons of light will be absorbed.

Therefore, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is 64 photos.
