Determine the mass of 9.2 x 10^18 molecules of dinitrogen tetroxide.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: 1.4x10-3 g N2O4

Explanation: First convert molecules of N2O4 to moles using Avogadro's Number. Then convert moles to mass using the molar mass of N2O4.

9.2x10^18 molecules N2O4 x 1 mole N2O4 / 6.022x10²³ molecules N2O4

= 1.53x10-5 moles N2O4

1.53x10-5 moles N2O4 x 92 g N2O4/ 1 mole N2O4

= 1.4x10-3 g N2O4

An  equation is called balanced if there are same number and same type of atom on both sides of the equation.

b)<em>Reason:</em>

2KClO3--------2KCl + 3O2

Consider this equation in the reactants there are 2KClO3  and in the product there are 2KCl+3O2 . So reactants =products which is a case of balanced chemical equation .
