2.258625 *10²³ oxygen atoms will be produced.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Decomposition reaction is defined as the type of reaction where one single reactant breaks to produce more than one product only by means of heat or other external factor.

Formula of magnesium oxide = MgO.

The molecular mass of magnesium oxide = 24 +16= 40.

So in 40 grams of magnesium oxide, number of molecules is 6.023 * 10²³.

So in 15 grams of magnesium oxide,, number of molecules is 6.023 *1023 * 15/40 = 2.258625 *10²³.

From one molecule of magnesium oxide, one oxide atom will be produced.

So number of oxide atoms with 100% yeild = 2.258625 *10²³

Explanation.

This problem was recently posted and deals with the conversion of units,so I give the same answer.

You need to convert the 9 quibs of skvarnick to sleps, to determine how many sleps you have.

The conversion of units is easily undertaken once you build your conversion factors.

Conversion factors are ratios (fractions) equivalent to one, which permits use the identity property of the multiplication to change one unit to a different equivalent one.

Remember that the identity property of multiplication states that any amount multiplied by 1 remains unchanged, i.e.

$a.1=a$

Then, build your conversion factor from the definitions given:

12 sleps is equal to 9 quibs.

12 sleps = 9 quibs

in virtue of the division property of equality, you can divide both sides by 12 sleps and get:

1 = 12 sleps / 9 quibs ← conversion factor

Now you can multiply the amount 9 quibs by the conversion factor, which is equal to 1, to find the equivalent amount of sleps:

identity property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs × 1

substitution property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs × 12 sleps/ 9 quibs

You can see that the unit quibs appear in the numerator and the denominator so it cancels out, and the result will be in sleps.

So, all you have to do now is the operations with the numbers:

9 quibs = (9 × 12 / 9) sleps = 12 sleps ← answer

When converting an acid salt dissolved in water to its acid form, you are instructed to adjust the ph well into the acidic range

777dan777 [17]

First of all, the problem says that you have to convert the acid salt to its acidic form. If you take it to the neutral pH, that won't be acidic at all. As simple as that, you don't take it to neutral pH because it would lose its definition of being acidic afterall.

desicribe the relationship between an inner planets distance from the sun and its period of revolution?

Anit [1.1K]

Kepler’s third law exhibits the relationships between the distance of a planet from the sun and the period of its revolution. Kepler’s third law is also sometimes referred to as the law of harmonies.

Kepler’s third law compares the orbital period and the radius of an orbit of a planet to the distance of the planet to the sun. It states mathematically that the more distant a planet is from the sun the greater its orbital period will be. The period of revolution of a planet is measured in days, weeks, months or years. For example, Earth’s period of revolution is 365 days.
