Answer:

There is 26.58 grams of gold formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

17.6 A of current are passed through a gold solution for 37.0 min

Molar mass of Au = 196.967 g/mol

Step 2: The equation

Au^3+ + 3e- → Au

Step 3: Calculate coulombs

17.6 Coulomb/s * 37.0 min * 60 sec/min = 39072 Coulombs

1 Faraday = 96500 Coulombs

Step 4: Calculate faraday

39072 Coulombs / 96500 Coulombs / Faraday = 0.40489 Faraday

Step 5: Calculate mass of gold formed

For every 3 Faraday of electricity used up , 1 mole Au is formed

0.40489 Faraday * 1 mole Au/ 3 Faraday = 0.13496 mole Au

196.967 g/mol * 0.13496 mol = 26.58 g Au

There is 26.58 grams of gold formed

Why are red dwarfs not able to fuse helium to heavier elements?

ohaa [14]

Fusing helium into heavier elements requires extreme pressure and temperature. However red dwarfs' gravity is simply not enough to bring helium atom close enough to each other for fusion to occur. Therefore, red dwarfs not able to fuse helium to heavier elements.☺

How many moles are contained in 2.3 liters of a 1.2M solution?

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.76 \ mol}}$

Explanation:

Molarity is found by dividing the moles of solute by liters of solution.

$molarity = \frac {moles}{liters}$

We know the molarity is 1.2 M (mol\liter) and there are 2.3 liters of solution. Substitute the known values into the formula.

$1.2 \ mol/liter= \frac {x}{2.3 \ liters}$

Since we are solving for x, we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 and the inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 2.3 liters.

$2.3 \ liters *1.2 \ mol/liter= \frac {x}{2.3 \ liters}* 2.3 \ liters\\2.3 *1.2 \ mol= x\\2.76 \ mol =x$

In a solution with a molarity of 1.2 and 2.3 liters of solution, there are 2.76 moles.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

c) Fullerene and carbon nanotubes because they have empty spaces inside the molecules

Explanation:

Fullerene and carbon nanotubes would be the most desired in order to hold the cancer fighting drugs and to carry them through the body safely.

These molecules have empty spaces in them.
The cavities makes it possible for storage.
As they pass through the body, they can be held perfectly well to their target site of action.
