Describe how adding the prefix mega to a unit affects the quantity being described

Chemistry
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]3 years ago
5 0

If the prefix mega is added to the unit of the quantity being described, the magnitude of quantity increases by 10^{6} times i.e. 1 million times.

For Example- 1 MW = 1000000 watts

Calcium oxide and oxygen gas are produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone in the reaction CaCO (s) CaO(s) + CO (g). Wh
kozerog [31]
The mass of lime that  can  be produced  from  4.510 Kg of limestone  is calculated  as  below

calculate the moles  of CaCO3  used

that is  moles =mass/molar mass
convert  Kg  to g  = 4.510 x1000 =4510g
=  4510 / 100 =45.10 moles
CaCO3 = CaO  +O2

by use of mole ratio between CaCO3  to CaO  (1:1) the  moles of CaO  is also= 45.10 moles
mass of CaO = moles x molar  mass

45.10  x56 = 2525.6  g  of  CaO

Describe how particles of iron (Fe) an oxygen (O2) react to how produce oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.

Calculate the oxidation state of the underlined elements of K2 Cr2 O7
Semenov [28]

Answer:

+4

Explanation:

In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):

Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.

⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0

x = +4

So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.

I hope this helps.

What volume (in liters) does 3.91 moles of nitrogen gas at 5.35 atm and 323 K occupy
daser333 [38]
Moles   =  n  = 3.91 mol

                  Pressure  =  P  =  5.35 atm

                  Temperature  =  T  =  323 K

                  Volume  =  V  =  ?

Formula used: Ideal Gas Equation is used,

                                        P V  = n R  T
Solving for V,
                                           V  =  n R T / P
Putting Values,
                           V  =  (3.91 mol × 0.0825 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 323 K) ÷ 5.35 atm

                         V  =  19.36 L
