Scientists use scientific notation to simplify numbers, basically. When dealing with really big numbers or really small numbers, the usage of scientific notation prevents them from having to write a bunch of zeroes.
Hope that helped you!

Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate may be heated to drive off the water of hydration. If 5 g of water are produced, what was the o
____ [38]

Answer:

13.9g of CuSO4•5H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CuSO4•5H2O → CuSO4 + 5H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of CuSO4•5H2O heated and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below

Molar mass of CuSO4• 5H2O = 63.5 + 32 + (16x4) + 5(2x1 + 16)

= 63.5 + 32 + 64 + 5(18) = 249.5g/mol

Mass of CuSO4•5H2O from the balanced equation = 1 x 249.5 = 249.5g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 5 x 18 = 90g

From the balanced equation above,

249.5g of CuSO4•5H2O produced 90g of H2O.

Now, we can determine the mass of CuSO4•5H2O needed to produce 5g of H2O. This can be achieved as shown below:

From the balanced equation above,

249.5g of CuSO4•5H2O produced 90g of H2O.

Therefore, Xg of CuSO4•5H2O will produce 5g of H2O i.e

Xg of CuSO4•5H2O = (249.5 x 5)/90

Xg of CuSO4•5H2O = 13.9g

Therefore, 13.9g of CuSO4•5H2O is needed to produce 5g of H2O.

A student balances the following redox reaction using half-reactions.
ICE Princess25 [194]
Answer: 6.

Explanation:

1) Aluminum

Al^0-3e^----\ \textgreater \ Al^{3+}

So each atom of aluminum lost 3 electrons to pass from 0 oxidation state to 3+ oxidation state.

2) Manganesium

Mn^{2+}+2e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ Mn

So, each ion of Mn(2+) gained 2 electrons pass from 2+ oxidation state to 0.

3) Balance

Multiply aluminum half-reaction (oxidation) by 2 and multiply manganesium half-raction (reduction) by 3:

2Al^{0}-6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}

3Mn^{2+}+6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 3Mn^{0}

4) Net equation

Add the two half-equations:

2Al^{0}+3Mn^{2+}----\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}+3Mn^{0}

As you see the left side has 2 Al, 3Mn, and 3*2 positive charges.

The right side has 2 Al, 3 Mn, and 2*3 positive charges.

So, the equation is balanced.

5) Count the number of electrons involved.

As you see 2 atoms of aluminum lost 6 electrons (3 each).

That is the answer to the question. 6 electrons will be lost.

An object has a mass of 5 kg. What force is needed to accelerate it at 6 m/s2? (Formula: F=ma) 0.83 N 1.2 N 11 N 30 N
masya89 [10]
Answer: Option (D) 30N

Detailed Solution:
According to Newton's second law:

F = ma --- (A)

Given:
mass = 5kg
acceleration = 6 m/s^2
F = ?

Plug all the value in equation (A)
F = (5)(6)
Ans: F = 30N
