Answer:

Because if the object weighs more than the volume when it is placed in the water it will sink. If this object weighs less than the volume of water, it will float. This depends mostly on the type of item.

0.50 mol A, 0.60 mol B, and 0.90 mol C are reacted according to the following reaction
algol [13]

Reactant C is the limiting reactant in this scenario.

Explanation:

The reactant in the balanced chemical reaction which gives the smaller amount or moles of product is the limiting reagent.

Balanced chemical reaction is:

A + 2B + 3C → 2D + E

number of moles

A = 0.50 mole

B = 0.60 moles

C = 0.90 moles

Taking A as the reactant

1 mole of A reacted to form 2 moles of D

0.50 moles of A will produce \frac{2}{1} = \frac{x}{0.50}

thus 0.50 moles of A will produce 1 mole of D

Taking B as the reactant

2 moles of B reacted to form 2 moles of D

0.60 moles of B reacted to form x moles of D

\frac{2}{2} = \frac{x}{0.6}

x = 2 moles of D is produced.

Taking C as the reactant:

3 moles of C reacted to form 2 moles of D

O.9 moles of C reacted to form x moles of D

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{0.9}

= 0.60 moles of D is formed.

Thus C is the limiting reagent in the given reaction as it produces smallest mass of product.

Rhenium (Re) is made up of 37.4% 185Re and 62.6% 187Re. The atomic mass of 185Re is 184.953 amu. The atomic mass of 187Re is 186
Anna007 [38]
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. We calculate as follows:

Average atomic mass = .374 ( 184.953 amu ) + .626 ( <span>186.958 amu )  = 186.208 amu

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Write the net ionic equation for the acid-base hydrolysis equilibrium that is established when ammonium perchlorate is dissolved
Whitepunk [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which do not get involved in the chemical equation. It is also defined as the ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonium perchlorate and water is given as:

NH_4ClO_4(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_4OH(aq.)+HClO_4(aq.)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

NH_4^+(aq.)+ClO_4^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_4OH(aq.)+H^+(aq.)+ClO_4^-(aq.)

Ammonium hydroxide will not dissociate into its ions because it is a weak base.

As, chlorate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

NH_4^+(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_3^+(aq.)+H_3O^+(aq.)

Hence, the net ionic equation is given above.
