Given 4.80g of ammonium carbonate, find:
V125BC [204]

Answer:

1) 0.05 mol.

2) 0.1 mol.

3) 0.05 mol.

4) 0.4 mol.

5) 2.4 x 10²³ molecules.

Explanation:

<em>1) Number of moles of the compound:</em>

no. of moles of ammonium carbonate = mass/molar mass = (4.80 g)/(96.09 g/mol) = 0.05 mol.

<em>2) Number of moles of ammonium ions :</em>

  • Ammonium carbonate is dissociated according to the balanced equation:

<em>(NH₄)₂CO₃ → 2NH₄⁺ + CO₃²⁻.</em>

It is clear that every 1.0 mole of (NH₄)₂CO₃ is dissociated to produce 2.0 moles of NH₄⁺ ions and 1.0 mole of CO₃²⁻ ions.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of NH₄⁺ ions in 0.05 mol of (NH₄)₂CO₃ </em>= (2.0)(0.05 mol) =  <em>0.1 mol.</em>

<em>3) Number of moles of carbonate ions :</em>

  • Ammonium carbonate is dissociated according to the balanced equation:

<em>(NH₄)₂CO₃ → 2NH₄⁺ + CO₃²⁻.</em>

It is clear that every 1.0 mole of (NH₄)₂CO₃ is dissociated to produce 2.0 moles of NH₄⁺ ions and 1.0 mole of CO₃²⁻ ions.

∴ The no. of moles of CO₃²⁻ ions in 0.05 mol of (NH₄)₂CO₃ = (1.0)(0.05 mol) = 0.05 mol.

<em>4) Number of moles of hydrogen atoms:</em>

  • Every 1.0 mol of (NH₄)₂CO₃  contains:

2.0 moles of N atoms, 8.0 moles of H atoms, 1.0 mole of C atoms, and 3.0 moles of O atoms.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of H atoms in 0.05 mol of (NH₄)₂CO</em>₃ = (8.0)(0.05 mol) = <em>0.4 mol.</em>

<em>5) Number of hydrogen atoms:</em>

  • It is known that every mole of a molecule or element contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules or atoms.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of H atoms contains → 6.022 x 10²³ atoms.

0.4 mole of H atoms contains → ??? atoms.

<em>∴ The no. of atoms in  0.4 mol of H atoms</em> = (6.022 x 10²³ molecules)(0.4 mole)/(1.0 mole) = <em>2.4 x 10²³ molecules.</em>

If a question cannot be tested and observed, it cannot be answered with science. (2 points) True or False?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If a question cannot be tested and observed, it cannot simply be answered by science.

Science works with observable and testable ideas and not on metaphysics.

  • Science presents a methodical approach into investigating phenomenon and answering likely questions in a logical manner.
  • The body of facts and data gathered through observations and tests are used to ramify the conclusion of a scientific study.
  • Without such, it is impossible to do the work of science.

For alpha decay to cause a loss in mass, such as that in the uranium 238 conversion to thorium 234, what must the atomic weight
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation showing alpha decay in Uranium-238 is as follows.

    ^{238}_{92}U \rightarrow ^{234}_{90}Th + ^{4}_{2}He

It is known that an alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is ^{4}_{2}\alpha.

As atomic mass or weight is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Hence, the atomic weight of the alpha particle is (2 + 2) = 4.
