The mass of substance which consists the equal number of particles as 12 grams of Carbon-12 is said to be mole.

For example:

The balanced chemical equation for production of water from hydrogen and oxygen is:

2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

That means 2 moles of H_2 reacts with 1 mole of O_2 to give 2 moles of  H_2O.

The given formula is 4Na_2SO_3.

Hence, 4 represents the number of moles in 4Na_2SO_3 formula that is 4 moles of Na_2SO_3.

The number of atoms of sodium, Na in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 2 = 8

The number of atoms of sulfur, S in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 1 = 4

The number of atoms of oxygen in, O in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 3 = 12

You would find four put in front of the compound in an equation.  This is to indicate that there are four times more moles in the reaction than there is in the specie that has no number in front of it in the reaction.

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

If a pork roast must absorb
Black_prince [1.1K]
Let us  assume propane was the fuel
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) = 2217kJ
1 mole ofpropane produces 3 moles of CO2 
heat absorbed by pork = 0.11 x 2217
                                     = 243.87 kJ/mol
number of moles of propane = 1700kJ / 243.87 kJ/mol
                                              = 6.971 moles
1 mole of C3H8 = 3 moles ofCO2
6.971 moles of C3H8 = ?
3 x 6.971 = 20.913 moles of CO2
Convert to grams
mass = MW x mole
          = 44 x 20.913
          = 920.172g of CO2 emitted
