Carbon's mass number =12
Hydrogen's mass number=1
( 10×12)+(8×1)
=128
128g =1mol
------- -------
1.98g ?

1.98
------=0.015
128

1mol =6.0×10^23
------ --------------
0.015mol ?

0.015mol×6.0×10^23= 9×10^21

Thus the number of particles in 1.89 grams of napthalene is 9×10^21.

I sincerely hope this is correct.

What is the mass of 2.30 ×1022 molecules of NaOH (Molar mass = 40.0 g/mol)?

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1.52 g NaOH

Explanation:

The molar mass M is a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by the amount of substance.

Molar mass of NaOH is 40.0 g/mol

40.0 g/mol contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

∴ 2.30 × 10²² molecules will contain (2.30 × 10²²) * (40.0)/6.022× 10²³

= 1.52 g NaOH

Balance the following redox reaction if it occurs in acidic solution. What are the coefficients in front of h2c2o4 and h2o in th

postnew [5]

The balanced redox reaction, if it occurs in acidic solution, is

5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16H⁺-----> 10CO₂(g) + 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l)

<h3>What are redox reaction?</h3>

Redox reactions are those in which loss and again of electrons occur.

To balance the redox reaction, we must first break the whole reaction into half equations;

Oxidation half equation

$\rm 5C_2O4^2^-(aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)$
