Answer:
The molecules of a substance which must have the ability to move past one another are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.

For the chemical reaction CaI2+2AgNO3-> 2AgI+Ca(NO3)2 how many moles of silver iodide will be produced from 205g of calcium i

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Moles of silver iodide produced = 1.4 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium iodide = 205 g

Moles of silver iodide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaI₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgI + Ca(NO₃)₂

Number of moles calcium iodide:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 205 g/ 293.887 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.7 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium iodide with silver iodide.

CaI₂ : AgI

1 : 2

0.7 : 2×0.7 = 1.4

Thus 1.4 moles of silver iodide will be formed from 205 g of calcium iodide.

A chemical reaction is shown below:

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Mass = 8.46 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of glucose = 20 g

Mass of oxygen = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂

Number of moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.11 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.47 mol

now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.

C₆H₁₂O₆ : H₂O

1 : 6

0.11 : 6/1×0.11 = 0.66

O₂ : H₂O

6 : 6

0.47 : 0.47

Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.47 mol ×18 g/mol

Mass = 8.46 g

Some nonliving things that is found in earths environment use an example of how you use each thing

Gnoma [55]

Rocks, rocks can be used for many things depending on which rock you are talking about some rocks are used for construction of cement mixtures. Granite and marble are used for counter tops and desks depending on what district you go to school in and how funded the schools are there. pumice is a rock found in waters around volcanoes and is used to smooth organic surfaces such as feet. miscellaneous rocks are also used to prevent erosion. non living things can also include carbon which is the bases of life itself. Carbon is an organic element which is used in the synthesis medicines such as aspirin and poisons such as dichloromethane which is not used to poison others but is toxic to humans, it is mainly used for different isolation of unknown substances. Depending on what R grouping is attached to the carbon can be the deciding factor of how it can be used and how it can react with the environment. Elements like helium can be used in gas chromatograms and put into balloons
