Why is water called "the universal solvent" and why is this important for living things?

As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

You decide to establish a new temperature scale on which the melting point of ammonia (-77.75 ∘c) is 0∘a, and the boiling point

Hoochie [10]

First we need to know that the boiling point of water in C is 100 and we just need to solve for x in the equation:

-33.75-(-77.75) / 100 = 100-(-77.75) / x
44.4/100 = 177.75 / x
x = 177.75*100/44.4 = 400.33

The boiling point of water in ∘a would be 400.33∘a.

Using the balanced equation below,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Mass = 6.538 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of zinc hydroxide produced = 9.65 g

Mass of zinc required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Zn + 2MnO₂ + H₂O → Zn(OH)₂ + Mn₂O₃

Number of moles of zinc hydroxide:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 9.65 g/ 99.42 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

now we will compare the moles of zinc and zinc hydroxide,

Zn(OH)₂ : Zn

1 : 1

0.1 : 0.1

Mass of zinc required:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.1 mol × 65.38 g/mol

Mass = 6.538 g

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.00 × 10²⁴ atoms Mn

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Numer

[PT] Molar Mass of Mn - 54.94 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 1.00 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Mn(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Mn})(\frac{54.94 \ g \ Mn}{1 \ mol \ Mn})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 91.2321 \ g \ Mn$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

91.2321 g Mn ≈ 91.2 g Mn

12.00 moles of naclo3 will produce how many grams of O2? (Moles to Grams)

Sergeu [11.5K]

2NaClO₃ → 2NaCl + 3O₂

mole ratio of NaClO₃ to O₂ is 2 : 3

∴ if moles of NaClO₃ = 12 mol

then moles of O₂ = $\frac{12 mol * 3}{2}$

= 18 mol

Mass of O₂ = mol of O₂ × molar mass of O₂

= 18 mol × 16 g/mol

= 288 g

So I wasn't sure which equation to use since you did not specify so I just used the decomposition reaction. If you should have used another reaction then just follow the same steps and you'll get your answer.
