Answer:

58.44 g/mol

Explanation:

In this problem, make sure to remember that volume is measured in mL, L or any other units of volume. Remember that g represents grams, and grams is a measure of mass.

However, independent of what mass or what volume we take, molar mass is known to be an intensive property. That is, molar mass doesn't depend on any external conditions or any measurements.

Molar mass solely depends on the chemical structure of a compound and is a constant number at any given conditions.

In this problem, we are given sodium chloride, NaCl. In order to find its molar mass, we need to refer to the periodic table, find the atomic masses of Na and Cl and then add them up to have the molar mass of NaCl:

$M_{NaCl} = M_{Na} + M_{Cl} = 22.99 g/mol + 35.453 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol$

Find the volume of 20g of H₂ at STP<br><br>

ANEK [815]

Answer:224

Explanation:

We should answer it with Stoichiometry

We say: 20 g H2× (1 mol/ 2g)× ( 22.4 lit/ 1 mol) = 224

Means: we have 20 grams and every 2g H2, equals to 1 mol of it and every 1 mol of H2, equals to 22.4 lit( because of STP)

hope you got this:)

Assuming that all the energy given off in the reaction goes to heating up only the air in the house, determine the mass of metha

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

0.92 kg

Explanation:

The volume occupied by the air is:

$35.0m\times 35.0m \times 3.2m \times \frac{10^{3}L }{1m^{3} } =3.9 \times 10^{6} L$

The moles of air are:

$3.9 \times 10^{6} L \times \frac{1.00mol}{22.4L} =1.7 \times 10^{5}mol$

The heat required to heat the air by 10.0 °C (or 10.0 K) is:

$1.7 \times 10^{5}mol \times \frac{30J}{K.mol} \times 10.0 K = 5.1 \times 10^{7}J$

Methane's heat of combustion is 55.5 MJ/kg. The mass of methane required to heat the air is:

$5.1 \times 10^{7}J \times \frac{1kgCH_{4}}{55.5 \times 10^{6} J } =0.92kgCH_{4}$

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
