Answer: A. are relatively far apart

Explanation:

Compressbility is the ability of compound to reduce in size when pressure is applied.

Gaseous state is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus molecules can be easily compressed.

They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.  The molecules in the gaseous state move faster with an increase in temperature as the kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.

Thus most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion are relatively far apart.

You have 16.7 grams of hydrogen and 15.4 grams of oxygen in a synthesis rxn. Which is the limiting reagent?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g

Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.35 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,

                 

                             H₂           :          H₂O

                              2            :            2

                             8.35        :            8.35

                             O₂           :          H₂O

                               1            :            2

                             0.48        :        2×0.48 = 0.96 mol

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.

A charged object (like a balloon that's been rubbed on the wall) cant attract an object with a net neutral charge (neither posit
UNO [17]

Answer: A balloon is charged by a process of frictional charging and the object is getting charged by the process of induction.

Explanation:

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, charging by friction or rubbing occurs. The electropositive object loses electrons to electronegative object. Thus, when balloon is rubbed on a wall, it becomes charged.

The charged balloon is able to attract an uncharged object by inducing charge on it without the two objects touching each other. Electrostatic force acts between two charged objects. Charged balloon causes electrons to move at one end thereby inducing opposite charge in the object and thus, charged balloon is able to attract uncharged object.

How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12
Nady [450]

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. <u>Ex:</u> Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

  • Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol
  • Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

  • 58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

  • 12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
  • The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

<em>P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.</em>
