Answer:

C atoms = 9.6 *10^23 atoms

H atoms = 2.9*10^24 atoms

O atoms = 4.8 *10^23 atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethanol = 36.7 grams

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of ethanol

Moles ethanol = mass / molar mass

Moles ethanol = 36.7 grams / 46.07 g/mol

Moles ethanol = 0.797 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles

For 1 mol C2H5OH we have 2 moles C, 6 moles H and 1 mol O

For 0.797 moles C2H5OH we have:

2*0.797 = 1.594 moles C

6*0.797 = 4.782 moles H

1*0.797 = 0.797 moles O

Step 4: Calculate carbon atoms

C atoms = moles C * number of Avogadro

C atoms = 1.594 moles * 6.02 *10^23

C atoms = 9.6 *10^23 atoms

Step 5: Calculate H atoms

H atoms = 4.782 moles * 6.02 * 10^23

H atoms = 2.9*10^24 atoms

Step 6: Calculate O atoms

O atoms = 0.797 moles * 6.02 *10^23

O atoms = 4.8 *10^23 atoms

Answer:

Below in bold.

Explanation:

1 mole of an element contains 6.022* 10^23 atoms.

Ethanol has the molecular formula C2H5OH.

So we have 2 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms ans 1 oxygen atom in the molecule.

Using molar masses the mass of carbon in 36.7 g of C2H5OH

= [(2 * 12.011) / (2*12.011 + 6*1.008 + 15.999)] * 36.7

= [(2 * 12.011) /46.069] * 36.7

= 19.14 g

So the number of carbon atoms = (19.14 / 12.011) * 6.022* 10^23

= 9.596 * 10^23. (Answer).

Using molar masses the mass of hydrogen in 36.7 g of C2H5OH

= [(6 * 1.008) / (46.069)] * 36.7

= 4.818 g

So the number of hydrogen atoms = (4.818 / 1.008) * 6.022* 10^23

= 2.878 * 10^24 (Answer).

Using molar masses the mass of oxygen in 36.7 g of C2H5OH

= [(15.999) / (46.069)] * 36.7

= 12.745 g

So the number of hydrogen atoms = (12.745 / 15.999) * 6.022* 10^23

= 2.924 * 10^24 (Answer).

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction? 2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2 Express your answer as a chemical formula.

Alja [10]

The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.

To make 2.00 L of 0.300 M sulfuric acid, how many mL of a 1.00 M stock solution should be used?

Tamiku [17]

We are given with
M1 = 1.00 M

M2 = 0.300 M
V2 = 2.00 L

We are asked to get V1

Using material balance
M1 V1 = M2 V2
Substituting the given values
1.00 V1 = 0.300 M (2.00 L)
V1 = 0.600 L or 600 mL
THe volume needed is 600 mL<span />

Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of

weeeeeb [17]

Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of protein in a given sample. It is also known as the Piotrowski's test. This reagent consists of copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. It detects peptide bonds by the reaction of the copper ions in an alkaline solution. The copper ions would form violet colored complexes when peptide is present in the solution. From this test, concentration can be calculated since the intensity of the color depends on the amount of peptide bonds and according to the Beer-Lambert law concentration and the absorption of light is proportional. The concentration is calculated by a spectrophotometric technique at a wavelength of 540 nm.

How is ti possible that, when adding protons while moving left to right across a period, the size of an atom shrinks? Why is the

Kaylis [27]

As one moves across a period, from left to right, both the number of protons and electrons of a neutral atom increase. The enhancing number of electrons and protons results in a greater attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. This uplifted attraction pulls the electrons nearer to the nucleus, therefore, reducing the size of the atom.

On the other hand, while moving down a group, there is an increase in the number of energy levels. The enhanced number of energy levels increases the size of the atom in spite of the elevation in the number of protons. In the outermost energy levels, the protons get attracted towards the nucleus, however, the attraction is less due to an increase in the distance from the nucleus.
