How many moles are in 1.2x10^3 grams of ammonia, NH3?
KonstantinChe [14]
I don't have a calculator with me right now, but that mass would be 1200 grams. Divide the given amount of grams by the molar mass of NH3, which is 17.031g/mol. (Nitrogen + 3(hydrogen)). Again, sorry I didn't have a calculator. But all you would need to do is divide 1200 by 17.031. If you need to use sig figs, your answer should have 2 because the 1.2 x 10^3 limits your amount of sig figs.

A certain mass of carbon reacts with 9.53 g of oxygen to form carbon monoxide. ________ grams of oxygen would react with that sa
yawa3891 [41]

Answer: 9.53 *2= 19.06

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states that if two elements combines to form more than one compound the ratio of masses of the second element which combines to the fixed mass of the first element will always be the ratios of the small whole numbers.

in case of carbon monoxide, mass of carbon will be the same of mass of oxygen.

But in case of carbon dioxide, if carbon is 9.53 units then oxygen will be twice as that of carbon.

CO2, so 9.53*2= 19.06 grams of oxygen will combine with 9.53 grams of carbon to form carbon dioxide.

Which example is a trace fossil? {A} dinosaur egg {B} dinosaur footprint {C} dinosaur bone {D} shark tooth
viktelen [127]

dinosaur footprint

Explanation:

A dinosaur footprint is an example of a trace fossil. A trace fossil is a type of fossil that shows the activities of organisms that lived in the past.

  • Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that lived several years ago.
  • Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rocks and thick layers of ice in temperate and polar regions.
  • Body fossils are the remains of the body parts of an organism that has been preserved. They can be skeletal parts, teeth, eggs e.t.c
  • A trace fossil shows the preserved remains of the activities of an organism.
  • They can be fingerprints, burrows and borings, feccal pellets e.t.c

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the exce
swat32

Answer: 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of SO_2 require = 1 mole of O_2

Thus 0.34 moles of SO_2 will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles  of O_2

Thus SO_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and O_2 is the excess reagent.

Moles of O_2 left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g

Thus 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.
