Distance traveled by the race horse=6 furlongs

Converting the distance from furlongs to rods: 40 rods =1 furlong

6 furlongs*\frac{40rods}{1furlong} =240rods

Converting the distance from rods to yards, feet and miles: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 3foot =1 yard, 1 mile = 5280 feet.

240rods*\frac{5.5yards}{1rod}*\frac{3foot}{1yard}*\frac{1mi}{5280feet}=0.75mi

The given speed of race horse = 40.7mi/hr

Calculating the time required:

0.75mi*\frac{1hr}{40.7mi}*\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}= 66.34s

Therefore, 66.34 s is required for a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour.

How many moles are in 297 g of NH3?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1. 17.4 moles.

2. 1.13 moles

3. 315.5 moles

4. 390.6g

5. 1.13x10⁶ moles

6. 14.8 moles

7. 337 moles

8. 2.15x10²⁴ molecules

9. 3.13x10²⁴ atoms

10. 1.38x10²⁴ particles

11. 1517g

12. 455g of CaF₂

Explanation:

We can convert formula units to moles or vice versa using Avogadro's number and moles to grams using molar mass of the substance:

1. Molar mass NH3: 17.031g/mol

297g * (1mol / 17.031g) = 17.4 moles

2. Molar mass MgCO3: 84.3g/mol

95g * (1mol / 84.3g) = 1.13 moles

3. Using Avogadro's number (6.022x10²³ formula units / mol):

1.9x10²⁶FU * (1mol / 6.022x10²³FU) = 315.5 moles

4. Molar mass H2O: 18g/mol

21.7mol * (18g / mol) = 390.6g

5. Using Avogadro's number (6.022x10²³ molecules / mol):

6.78x10²⁹molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³FU) = 1.13x10⁶ moles

6. 8.9x10²⁴FU * (1mol / 6.022x10²³FU) = 14.8 moles

7. Using Avogadro's number (6.022x10²³ atoms / mol):

2.03x10²⁶atoms* (1mol / 6.022x10²³FU) = 337 moles

8. 3.569mol * (6.022x10²³ molecules / 1mol) = 2.15x10²⁴ molecules

9. 5.2mol * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1mol) = 3.13x10²⁴ atoms

10. Molar mass Li₂SO₄: 109.94g/mol:

36g * (1mol / 109.94g) * (6.022x10²³ molecules / 1mol) * (7 particles / 1molecule) = 1.38x10²⁴ particles

<em>Assuming particles are atoms and in 1 molecule of Li₂SO₄ you have 7 atoms.</em>

11. Molar mass Cl₂: 70.9g/mol:

21.4mol * (70.9g / mol) = 1517g

12. Molar mass CaF₂: 78.07g/mol:

3.51x10²⁴FU * (1mol / 6.022x10²³FU) * (78.07g / mol) = 455g of CaF₂

What is the percent mass oxygen in calcium carbonate (CaCo3)?
Gnoma [55]
  <span>Step 1 is to determine the mass of each part 
Mass of Ca is 40.08 g 
Mass of C is 12.01 g 
Mass of O is 16.00 x 3 = 48.00 g 
Step 2 is to determine the total mass of the compound 
Total mass of CaCO3 is 40.08 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 100.09 g 

Step 3 is to determine the % of each part using the following formula: 
Mass of part / total mass x 100 = 

40.08 / 100.09 x 100 = 40.04 % Ca 

12.01 / 100.09 x 100 = 12.00 % C 

48.00 / 100.09 x 100 = 47.96 % O 

Step 4 is to double check by adding all percentages. If they equal 100, then I probably did it right. :) 
40.04 
+12.00 
+47.96 
=100.00</span><span>

notka56 [123]
There are several types of surfactants, to name two: alkylbenzene sulfonates  or detergents; and lauryl sulfate or foaming agents. 

Alkylbenzene sulfonates are commonly used in the production of detergent soaps, these help clean the dirt from cloths and other materials, it also produces foam. 

Lauryl sulfate or foaming agents are commonly used in the production of dishwashing liquid or handwashing soap.
