How many moles are in 123.0g (NH4)2SO4
Luda [366]
Here you go! There are 0.9307 moles in 123.0 g of the compound. I solved this by using a fence post method. I calculated the number of grams in one mol of (NH4)2 SO4 and got 132.16.

I did this by finding the atomic mass of each element on the periodic table (my work is in the color blue for this step)

After that, i divided the given mass by the mass of one mol of the compound.

The answer is 0.9307 moles!! I hope this helped you! :))

Given the unbalanced combustion equation: C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O, how many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 64.0 g of ox
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Moles of Carbon dioxide : 1.2

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction(balanced)

C₃H₈ + 5O₂=> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

mol of O₂ :

\tt \dfrac{64}{32}=2

mol of CO₂ :

\tt \dfrac{3}{5}\times 2=1.2

What is the mass of naoh that would have to be added to 500 ml of a solution of 0.20 m acetic acid in order to achieve a ph of 5
il63 [147K]

The correct answer is 2.5 g.

Let x be the mass of NaOH in grams

The molar mass of NaOH = 40.0 gms/mol

Moles of NaOH = mass / molecular mass of NaOH

= x grams / 40.0 gms /mol = 0.025 x mol

Initial moles of CH₃COOH = volume × concentration of CH₃COOH

= 500 / 1000 × 0.20 = 0.1 mol

CH₃COOH + NaOH ⇒ CH₃COONa + H2O

Moles of CH₃COOH left = initial moles of CH₃COOH - moles of NaOH = 0.1 - 0.025x mol

Moles of CH₃COONa formed = moles of NaOH = 0.025x mol

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COONa] / [CH₃COOH])

= pKa + log (moles of CH₃COONa /moles of CH₃COOH)

5.0 = 4.76 + log [0.025a / (0.1 - 0.025a)]

log [0.025a / (0.1 - 0.025a)] = 0.24

0.025a / (0.1 - 0.025a) = 10^0.24 = 1.738

0.068445a = 0.17378

a = 0.17378 / 0.068445

= 2.54 g

Mass of NaOH = a = 2.54 g or 2.5 g

The balanced equation for the production of sugars by photosynthesis is shown below.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

D= there is the same number of each type of atoms on the right side and left side of the equation.

Explanation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
