Cork floats in water because the cork weighs less than the amount of water that it would have to push up to sink. This basically says that since cork is less dense than water, it floats.

The decomposition of ethyl amine, C2H5NH2, occurs according to the reaction: C2H5NH2(g)⟶C2H4(g)+NH3(g) At 85∘C, the rate constan
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

2.772 seconds

Explanation:

Given that;

t1/2 = 0.693/k

Where;

t1/2 = half life of the reaction

k= rate constant

Note that decomposition is a first order reaction since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of one reactant

t1/2 = 0.693/2.5 x 10-1 s-1

t1/2= 2.772 seconds

How many moles are in 7.46 x 1025 particles of iron
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1 mole of iron =6.023×10^23 particles

1 particles of iron=1/6.023×10^23 mole

7.46×10^25 particles =1/6.023×10^23×7.46×10^25

=1.238×10^48 mole is a required answer.

6.0 moles of Na and 4.0 moles of Cl2 are mixed, how manu moles of NaCl in moles cane be made from this mixture
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles

Explanation:

We are given the equation;

2 Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2 NaCl(s)

  • Moles of Na is 6.0 moles
  • Moles of Cl₂ is 4.0 moles

From the reaction;

2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl

In this case;

6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.

Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.

But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na

                      = 6.0 moles

Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles
