How many moles are in 1.5 x 10^20 molecules of NH3?

1 answer:

5 0

Because the question is asking moles of NH3, the compound, any subscripts are irrelevant. It only wants to know how many moles of NH3 molecules, not individual atoms.

Therefore, we can simply convert to moles. 1.5x10^23/6.022x10^23 = .249 moles of NH3.

(If it were to ask moles of Hydrogen, for example, you would multiply the answer by 3, because there are 3 atoms of Hydrogen per one molecule of NH3. But this only asks for moles of the entire compound).

hope you have a great day! :)

Think about a carbon atom that is released into the atmosphere from the burning of wood in a campfire. If it were to go through

viva [34]

1) Step 5 A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis. Inorganic carbon is turned into organic.
2) Step 1 A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves. Caterpillar use carbon for energy.
3) Step 3 A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar. Organic carbon shifts from one animal to another
4) Step 4 The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.
5) Step 2 The bird decomposes and the carbon is added to the atmosphere. Organic carbon turns into inorganic.

Based on the law of conservation of mass, which of the following statements is correct? Matter is neither created nor destroyed.

Dmitrij [34]

The first statement (Matter is neither created nor destroyed) is correct.

The second statement would violate the law of conservation of mass (I will refer to this as LCM), as it would mean matter can "flow" into the universe, but not out, meaning the total matter will never be less than it was before.

The third statement violates LCM because it means matter is created during a reaction, which is not true.

The last statement violates LCM because it means matter is lost during a reaction, which is not true.

The compound trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibr

Rina8888 [55]

Answer: The expression of $K_b$ is written below.

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound which is trimethylamine that acts as a weak base when dissolved in water.

It accepts a proton from the water to form trimethylammonium ion and hydroxide ion.

The chemical equation for the reaction of trimethylamine in water follows:

$(CH_3)_3N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons (CH_3)_3NH^++OH^-$

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}$

Hence, the expression of $K_b$ is written above.

Why Mike the helium balloons float while the others rest on the table

svetlana [45]

Helium is a chemical element of the atomic number 2, an inert gas that is the lightest member of the noble gas series.

These means, Helium is lighter than air, and for this is why all other balloons may not float.

The helium balloon displaces an amount of air (Just like an empty water bottle displaces an amount of water). As long as the weight of the helium plus the balloon fabric is lighter than the air displaces, the balloon will float in the air.
