Answer:

the protons

Explanation:

the number of protons is constant for each sample of the element. If the number of protons differs, then it is a different element.

How many moles of water would be produced from 3 moles of oxygen in the following reaction? Don’t forget to include units in you

wariber [46]

Answer:

6moles of water

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of oxygen = 3moles

Reaction equation:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Unknown:

Number of moles of water formed = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

compare the number of moles in the reaction.

1 mole of oxygen gas will produce 2 mole of water

3 moles of oxygen gas will produce 3 x 2 = 6moles of water.

2. What was the primary reason in the 1850's driving the curiosity of atoms?

nalin [4]

The primary reason that large numbers of people left Ireland in the 1840s and 1850s was MASS STARVATION.

Great Famine or Great Hunger was a period in Ireland where mass starvation, diseases, and emigration occurred between 1845 to 1852.

The Great Famine was caused by Phytophthora infestans, a disease that infests in potatoes. Though the potato infestation spread throughout Europe, it greatly affected Ireland, where 1/3 of its population was dependent on the potato crop as their primary source of food.

The loss of their primary source of food led to mass starvation, sickness, and eventual death. Others opted to leave Ireland and seek shelter and food in other countries to survive.

The reaction described by H2(g)+I2(g)⟶2HI(g) has an experimentally determined rate law of rate=k[H2][I2] Some proposed mechanism

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Mechanism A and B are consistent with observed rate law

Mechanism A is consistent with the observation of J. H. Sullivan

Explanation:

In a mechanism of a reaction, the rate is determinated by the slow step of the mechanism.

In the proposed mechanisms:

Mechanism A

(1) H2(g)+I2(g)→2HI(g)(one-step reaction)

Mechanism B

(1) I2(g)⇄2I(g)(fast, equilibrium)

(2) H2(g)+2I(g)→2HI(g) (slow)

Mechanism C

(1) I2(g) ⇄ 2I(g)(fast, equilibrium)

(2) I(g)+H2(g) ⇄ HI(g)+H(g) (slow)

(3) H(g)+I(g)→HI(g) (fast)

The rate laws are:

A: rate = k₁ [H2] [I2]

B: rate = k₂ [H2] [I]²

As:

K-1 [I]² = K1 [I2]:

rate = k' [H2] [I2]

Where K' = K1 * K2

C: rate = k₁ [H2] [I]

As:

K-1 [I]² = K1 [I2]:

rate = k' [H2] [I2]^1/2

Thus, just mechanism A and B are consistent with observed rate law

In the equilibrium of B, you can see the I-I bond is broken in a fast equilibrium (That means the rupture of the bond is not a determinating step in the reaction), but in mechanism A, the fast rupture of I-I bond could increase in a big way the rate of the reaction. Thus, just mechanism A is consistent with the observation of J. H. Sullivan

Which of the following bonds is the most polar in nature:

dimaraw [331]

The answer will be (4) HI because the greater the difference of the bonds in electronegativity, the more polar a bond is.

4. How many milligrams are in 5.25 x 10-13 kg? the “-13” is an exponent

rusak2 [61]

5. 25 x 10⁻⁷mg

Explanation:

This is mass conversion from mg to kg;

The kg is a quantity of mass used to measure the amount of matter in a substance.

Given mass = 5.25 x 10⁻¹³kg

The kilo- is a prefix that denotes 10³

therefore;

1000g = 1kilogram

the milli- is a prefix that denotes 10⁻⁻³

1000mg = 1g

Now that we know this, we can convert:

5.25 x 10⁻¹³kg x $\frac{1000g}{1kg} x \frac{1000mg}{1g}$ = 5. 25 x 10⁻¹³ x 10⁶mg

= 5. 25 x 10⁻⁷mg
