A 17.6-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.

Chemistry

These problems are a bit interesting. :)

First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate. 

NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)

17.6 gNH4CO3

Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse. 

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)

Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)

NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol


17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4

Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!

4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4

Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?
Georgia [21]

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound, C5H10O
vova2212 [387]

Answer:The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound, C5H10O2, exhibits strong, broad absorption across the 2500-3200 cm^1 region and an intense absorption at 1715 cm'^-1. Relative absorption intensity: (s)=strong, (m)-medium, (w) weak. What functional class(cs) docs the compound belong to List only classes for which evidence is given here. Attach no significance to evidence not cited explicitly. Do not over-interpret exact absorption band positions. None of your inferences should depend on small differences like 10 to 20 cm^1. The functional class(es) of thla compound is(are) alkane (List only if no other functional class applies.) alkene terminal alkyne internal alkyne arene alcohol ether amine aldehyde or ketone carboxylic acid ester nitr

Which molecule has a nonpolar covalent bond?
kondaur [170]
Nonpolar covalent bonds are chemical bonds where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other and the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal. An example is methane. It has four carbon-hydrogen single covalent bonds. These bonds are nonpolar because the electrons are shared equally.
