1.8 moles of oxygen atoms are present in 30.5 grams of hydrogen peroxide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to convert the given weight of hydrogen peroxide to molar mass of hydrogen peroxide. So for this, we have to divide the given weight with the molecular mass of hydrogen peroxide.

$\text {Molecular mass of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}=(2 \times 1)+(2 \times 16)=2+32=34 \mathrm{g}$

So,

$\text {Molar mass of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}=\frac{30.5}{34}=0.90 \text { moles of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

Second step, in this moles, 2 molecules of oxygen are present. Thus 1 mole of Hydrogen peroxide consists of 2 moles of oxygen. Then,

$0.90 moles of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}=2 \times 0.90=1.8$ moles of oxygen$

So, 30.5 grams of hydrogen peroxide consists of 1.8 moles of oxygen.

. Write the balanced equation, then outline the steps necessary to determine the information requested in each of the following:

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The equation of the reaction is;

2Na + Cl2 ------>2NaCl

Number of moles of sodium = 10g/23 g/mol = 0.43 moles

If 2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of Cl2

0.43 moles reacts with 0.43 * 1/2 = 0.215 moles of Cl2

Mass = 0.215 moles of Cl2 *71 g/mol = 15.265 g

b) Equation of the reaction;

HgO -> Hg + O2

1.252 moles of HgO 1.252/32 gmol = 0.039 moles

1 mole of HgO yields 1 mole of oxygen hence

0.039 moles of HgO yields 0.039 moles of oxygen

Mass of oxygen = 0.039 moles * 32 g/mol = 1.248 g

c) Equation of the reaction;

2NaNO3 -----> 2NaNO2 + O2

Number of moles of 128 g of oxygen = 128g/32 g/mol = 4 moles

2 moles of NaNO3 yields 1 mole of oxygen

x moles of NaNO3 yields 4 moles of oxygen

x = 8 moles of NaNo3

Mass of NaNO3 = 8 * 85 g/mol = 680 g of NaNo3

In an isolated system:

ipn [44]

Answer:

isolated system (plural isolated systems) (physics) A system that does not interact with its surroundings. Depending on context this may mean that its total energy and/or momentum stay constant.

Explanation:

An isolated system is a thermodynamic system that cannot exchange either energy or matter outside the boundaries of the system. ... The system may be enclosed such that neither energy nor mass may enter or exit.

Consider the equilibrium reaction and its equilibrium constant expression. Br 2 ( g ) + 2 NO ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NOBr ( g ) K = [ NO

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$K_2=\frac{[NOBr]^4_{eq}}{[NO]^4_{eq}[Br]^2_{eq}}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the equilibrium condition, the equilibrium constant is defined via the law of mass action, which states that the division between the concentrations of the products over the concentration of the reactants at equilibrium equals the equilibrium constant, for the given reaction:

$2 Br_2 ( g ) + 4 NO ( g ) \rightleftharpoons 4NOBr ( g )$
