How do you find moles

Chemistry
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
5 0
The equation for finding how many moles are in a substance is

moles = mass / relative formula mass,
where mass is measured in g.

The r.f.m. (relative formula mass) is found by adding together all of the atomic masses of the elements in a substance. 

e.g.  CO2 (carbon dioxide) has 1 atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
The relative atomic mass of carbon is approximately 12.
The relative atomic mass of oxygen is approximately 16.

12 + (2 x 16) = 44
The r.f.m. of carbon dioxide is 44.

You would then divide the mass of the substance (how much there is of it) by its r.f.m. to find the mole number.

Silver chloride, often used in silver plating, contains 75.27% ag. part a calculate the mass of silver chloride required to plat
Ugo [173]
<span>179.35 mg of silver chloride is required to plate 135 mg of silver. Create an expression showing what you know. Namely that 75.27% of X is equal to 135. So we get 75.27% X = 135 0.7527 X = 135 Now divide both sides by 0.7527 X = 135 mg / 0.7527 = 179.3543 mg So it will take 179.35 mg of silver chloride to plate out 135 mg of pure silver.</span>

Find the sum of - 1 /5 and reciprocal of 6 /11 ​
Bess [88]

<em>Answer:</em>

<h2><em>4</em><em>9</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em>0</em></h2>

<em>Solution</em><em>,</em>

<em>Reciprocal</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>6</em><em>/</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>6</em>

<em>Now,</em>

<em>-</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>5</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>6</em>

<em>=</em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>*</em><em>6</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>*</em><em>5</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em>0</em>

<em>=</em><em>-</em><em>6</em><em>+</em><em>5</em><em>5</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em>0</em>

<em>=</em><em>4</em><em>9</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em>0</em>

<em>Hope </em><em>it</em><em> helps</em>

<em>Good </em><em>luck</em><em> on</em><em> your</em><em> assignment</em>

Which is an example of an exothermic process?
Gwar [14]

1) Answer: A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine.

Explanation: Reactions or process in which heat is released(produced) are known as exothermic reactions or process and those in which the heat is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions or process.

If a beaker feels cools when chemical in it react then it means the chemicals have absorbed the heat energy from its surroundings and so it is an example of an endothermic process.

A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine means the energy is released in the chemical reaction and so it is an example of an exothermic process.

Plants use the sun's energy for photosynthesis which is a process of forming food for the plants. Energy acts as a reactant in this process and so it is an example of endothermic process.

Frying an egg by heating it on a stove is an example of an endothermic process as the heat is required to fry the egg.

So, the only exothermic process is the second one, "A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine."

2) In the given equation, heat is written as a product means the heat is released in the equation and so it is an example of an exothermic reaction.

So, the correct choice is the last one " It is exothermic because energy is released."
