Answer:

Similarities: both state the mass of chemical species and they have the same numerical value

Differences: molecular mass refers to one single molecule and molar mass refers to one mole of a molecule

Explanation:

The molecular mass is the value of the mass of each molecule and it is measured in mass units (u). It is calculated adding the mass of each atom of the molecule.

The molar mass is the value of the mass of one mole of molecules, which means the mass of 6.022140857 × 10²³ molecules. The unit is g/mol.

For example, we can consider the methane molecule, which has the chemical formula of CH₄:

Molecular mass CH₄ = C mass + 4 x (H mass)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 12.01 + 4 x (1.01)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 u

Now to calculate the molar mass we multiply the value of the molecular mass by the Avogadro number and convert the units to g/mol:

Molar mass CH₄: 16.05 x $\frac{1}{6.022140857 x 10x^{23} } g$ x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol

Answer:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

This a neutralisation reaction. The first thing to note is that this type of reaction forms salt and water.

Note that the formula of water is H2O. So write this at the right hand side.

==> H2O

Next note that the salt should contain the acid radical (NO3) and the metallic part of the base (Ca) written well following the rule for writing chemical equation; thus

==> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The next step is to write the reactants at the right hand side of the equation;

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ==> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The final step is to count the number of atoms in each side of the equation to make sure they are equal and balanced.

In the above equation, H atoms are three at the left hand side add 2 to to H- containig compound on both side as to balance up. Thus

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The equation 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O is balance.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1, just I) color.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties that can be observed without changing the composition of a substance, such as color, temperature, density, and boiling point.

A physical change is a change in the substance that only modifies its aggregation state, such as solidification, and boiling.

Chemical properties are the properties that need a reaction to being observed, such as the combustibility, which needs a combustion reaction to being quantified.

When a chemical reaction occurs, and the composition of the substance change, it's a chemical change.

So, the heating copper with carbon is a chemical reaction, and purification by electrolysis is too. Color is the only physical property.

Describe the relationship between temperature and particle movement

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

If matter is heated and thus its temperature rises more and more, it can be seen that the particles contained in it move ever faster – be it the relatively free movement of the particles in gases or the oscillation around a rest position in solids. The temperature of a substance can therefore be regarded as a measure of the velocity of the particles it contains. With a higher temperature and thus higher particle
