If atoms are made up smaller parts such as electrons, why are atoms considered the basic unit of matter

How do you find the amount of moles is .032 grams of water and whats the answer

masha68 [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.0018 \ mol \ H_2 O }}$

Explanation:

First, we need to find the molecular mass of water (H₂O).

H₂O has:

2 Hydrogen atoms (subscript of 2)
1 Oxygen atom (implied subscript of 1)

Use the Periodic Table to find the mass of hydrogen and oxygen. Then, multiply by the number of atoms of the element.

Hydrogen: 1.0079 g/mol
Oxygen: 15.9994 g/mol

There are 2 hydrogen atoms, so multiply the mass by 2.

2 Hydrogen: (1.0079 g/mol)(2)= 2.0158 g/mol

Now, find the mass of H₂O. Add the mass of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

2.0158 g/mol + 15.9994 g/mol = 18.0152 g/mol

Next, find the amount of moles using the molecular mass we just calculated. Set up a ratio.

$0.032 \ g \ H_2 O* \frac{ 1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 \ g \ H_2 O}$

Multiply. The grams of H₂O will cancel out.

$0.032 * \frac{1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 }$

$\frac{0.032 *1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 }$

$0.00177627781 \ mol \ H_2 O$

The original measurement given had two significant figures (3,2). We must round to have 2 significant figures. All the zeroes before the 1 are not significant. So, round to the ten thousandth.

The 7 in the hundred thousandth place tells us to round up.

$0.0018 \ mol \ H_2 O$

There are about <u>0.0018 moles in 0.032 grams.</u>

A(n) _____ is equivalent to an electron. gamma ray omega particle alpha particle beta particle

ladessa [460]

Answer:

beta particle

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

¹⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiations

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of each compound. a. formaldehyde (CH2O(g)) b. heptane (C7H17(l)) c. benze

Yuri [45]

Answer:

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)): CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)): 4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l)): C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In a reaction of combustion, a hydrocarbon compound (composed of C, H and O) reacts with oxygen gas (O₂). The <u>complete</u> combustion of a hydrocarbon - such as formaldehyde, heptane, and benzene - produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

Thus, we write the reactants and products for each combustion reaction and then we balance the atoms: C, H, and O.

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)):

CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The chemical equation is already balanced with the coefficients 1: we have the same number of C atoms (1), H (2) and O (3) on both sides of the equation.

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)):

C₇H₁₇(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Here we have to write a coefficient 28 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms in the products side, and for C₇H₁₇ we write 28/4 = 7. With similar reasoning we found the coefficients for O₂ and H₂O:

4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l)):

C₆H₆(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

First, we write a coefficient of 6 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms. Then, we have to balance H atoms: we write a coefficient 3 in H₂O. Now, we have 12 + 3 = 15 atoms of O on the reactants side. So, we write a half of these number of atoms in the coefficient for O₂: 15/2. We obtain the balanced equation:

C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)
