Chemistry
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Carbon forms the key component for all known life on Earth.

Explanation:

Complex molecules are made up of carbon bonded with other elements, especially oxygen and hydrogen and frequently also with nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. Carbon is abundant on Earth. It is also lightweight and relatively small in size, making it easier for enzymes to manipulate carbon molecules.

larisa [96]

Answer:

The 2292 moles of CO are needed to react completely with 122 Kg of Fe₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Fe₂O₃ = 122 Kg ( 122×1000 =  122000 g)

Moles of CO = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO  → 2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of  Fe₂O₃:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 122000 g /159.69 g/mol

Number of moles = 764 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Fe₂O₃ with CO.

                               Fe₂O₃            :            CO  

                                  1                  :             3

                               764                :             3×764  =2292 mol

The 2292 moles of CO are needed to react completely with 122 Kg of Fe₂O₃.

1. What is the potential energy of a 8 kg ball that is at a height of 20 m?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1. 1568 J

2. 0 J

3. 1176 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

(PE = Potential Energy) = (m = mass)(g = gravitational force which is 9.8)(h = height)

1. (3)(9.8)(20) = 1568 J

2. PE = (3)(9.8)(0) = 0 J

3. (5)(9.8)(24) =  1176 J

Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms
VARVARA [1.3K]

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.

How does changing the amount of one substance affect a mixtures identity and a compounds identity iscience?
pychu [463]

Explanation:

A compound is defined as follows.

  • Compounds are pure substance.
  • The atoms bonded in a compound are in specific proportion.
  • A compound is formed by chemical combination.
  • For a compound, melting point and boiling point is defined.

A mixture is defined as follows.

  • Mixtures are impure substance.
  • The bonded atoms in a mixture are in any proportion.
  • A mixture is formed by physical combination.
  • For a mixture, melting point and boiling point is not defined.

On changing the amount of one substance will affect the formation of compound as a compound requires atoms to be bonded in a specific proportion. Whereas changing the amount of one substance will not affect the formation of mixtures  as atoms can be bonded in any proportion in a mixture.
