Answer:

Dimensional analysis.

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is a tool that enables the prediction, inspection and adaptation of the physical units that are used to solve equations. In dimensional analysis, we apply the fundamentals of algebra to determine in which unit of measure any magnitude should be expressed, in order to ensure homogeneity between the quantities. In other words, dimensional analysis is a problem solving method that focuses on the units used to describe matter, usually using conversion factors.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.

HELP PLEASE!! (100 points)

MrRa [10]

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped

You dissolve 8.65 grams of lead(l) nitrate in water and then you add 2 50 grams of aluminum. This reaction occurs 2AI(S)+ 3Pb(NO

olga55 [171]

Answer: The theoretical yield of solid lead comes out to be 5.408 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the following equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of Lead nitrate:

Given mass of lead nitrate = 8.65 grams

Molar mass of lead nitrate = 331.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{8.65g}{331.2g/mol}=0.0261moles$

Moles of Aluminium:

Given mass of aluminium = 2.5 grams

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{2.5g}{27g/mol}=0.0925moles$

For the given chemical reaction, the equation follows:

$2AI(s)+3Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)\rightarrow 3Pb(s)+2AI(NO3)_3(aq.$

By Stoichiometry:

3 moles of lead nitrate reacts with 2 moles of aluminium

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate are produced by = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0261=0.0174moles$ of aluminium.

As, the required amount of aluminium is less than the given amount. Hence, it is considered as the excess reagent.

Lead nitrate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of lead nitrate are produces 3 moles of lead metal.

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate will produce = $\frac{3}{3}\times 0.0261=0.0261moles$ of lead metal.

Now, to calculate the grams or theoretical yield of lead metal, we put in the mole's equation, we get:

Molar mass of lead = 207.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0261mol=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{207.2g/mol}$

Mass of lead = 5.408 grams

Hence, the theoretical yield of solid lead comes out to be 5.408 grams.

Compare Ion and Radical Atom and molecule Organic and inorganic compounds

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

'An ion has a non-zero electric charge. A radical has an atom with unfilled electron shells and so is very reactive, but is electrically neutral.'

'Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.'

'The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them.'
