Answer:

48.32 g of anhydrous MnSO4.

Explanation:

Equation of dehydration reaction:

MnSO4 •4H2O --> MnSO4 + 4H2O

Molar mass = 55 + 32 + (4*16) + 4((1*2) + 16)

= 223 g/mol

Mass of MnSO4 • 4H2O = 71.6 g

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 71.6/223

= 0.32 mol.

By stoichiometry, since 1 mole of MnSO4 •4H2O is dehydrated to give 1 mole of anhydrous MnSO4

Number of moles of MnSO4 = 0.32 mol.

Molar mass = 55 + 32 + (4*16)

= 151 g/mol.

Mass = 151 * 0.32

= 48.32 g of anhydrous MnSO4.

How many moles are in 8.32 x 1024 molecules of CO2.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

<h2>13.82 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{8.32 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 13.820598...

We have the final answer as

<h3>13.82 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important ceramic material made by reacting sand (silicon dioxide, SiO2) with powdered carbon at a h
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Percent yield of SiC is 77.0%.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: SiO_{2}+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

Molar mass of SiC = 40.11 g/mol

Molar mass of SiO_{2} = 60.08 g/mol

So, 100.0 kg of SiO_{2} = \frac{100.0\times 10^{3}}{60.08} moles of SiO_{2} = 1664 moles of SiO_{2}

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of SiO_{2} produces 1 mol of SiC

Therefore, 1664 moles of SiO_{2} produce 1664 moles of SiC

Mass of 1664 moles of SiC = (1664\times 40.11)g = 66743g = 66.74 kg (4 sig. fig.)

Percent yield of SiC = [(actual yield of SiC)/(theoretical yield of SiC)]\times 100%

                                 = \frac{51.4kg}{66.74kg}\times 100 %

                                 = 77.0%

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe
babunello [35]

Answer:

Oxidized and reducing agent: manganese.

Reduced and oxidizing agent: mercury.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the reaction:

Hg^{2+}(aq) + Mn^0(s)\rightarrow Hg(s) + Mn^{2+}(aq)

We keep in mind that the species that increase the oxidation state is the oxidized one whereas the one that decrease the oxidation state is the reduced one; therefore manganese is the oxidized one as well as the reducing agent because it goes from 0 to +2 and mercury the reduced one as well as the oxidizing agent because it goes from 2+ to 0.

An interaction of systems allows for the body to warm itself when it is cold. Which processes help the body warm up when it is c
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

shivering

hair on the body standing up

goosebump forming

Explanation:

The processes that help the body warm-up from the available options include <em>the shivering of the body</em>, <em>formation of goosebumps on the skin</em>, and <em>the standing up of hairs on the body.</em>

When the temperature of the body falls below the setpoint or the environment is cold, a homeostatic response is triggered and a signal is sent from the control center to the muscles of the body. <u>The muscles start shaking in order to generate heat to raise the temperature of the body</u>. At the same time, <u>the tiny muscles at the base of the hairs on the skin contract and pull the hairs erect, causing goosebumps in the process.</u>
