(159 g Ca/1) x (1 mol Ca/40.07 g Ca) x (6.02*10^23 atoms Ca/1 mol Ca)
= 2.39*10^24 atoms Ca.

Answer : The number of atoms present in 159 g of calcium are $23.937\times 10^{23}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of calcium.

$\text{Moles of }Ca=\frac{\text{Mass of }Ca}{\text{Molar mass of }Ca}$

Molar mass of calcium = 40 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }Ca=\frac{159g}{40g/mole}=3.975mole$

Now we have to calculate the number of atoms of calcium.

As, 1 mole of calcium contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms of calcium

So, 3.975 mole of calcium contains $3.975\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=23.937\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms of calcium

Therefore, the number of atoms present in 159 g of calcium are $23.937\times 10^{23}$

Explain the process of fermentation.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Fermentation, chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically. More broadly, fermentation is the foaming that occurs during the manufacture of wine and beer, a process at least 10,000 years old. The frothing results from the evolution of carbon dioxide gas, though this was not recognized until the 17th century.

What is the pressure of 1.20 moles of SO2 gas in a 4L container at 30 degrees celsius

geniusboy [140]

Let suppose the Gas is acting Ideally, Then According to Ideal Gas Equation,

P V = n R T
Solving for P,
P = n R T / V ----- (1)
Data Given;

Moles = n = 1.20 mol

Volume = V = 4 L

Temperature = T = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Gas Constant = R = 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

Putting Values in Eq.1,

P = (1.20 mol × 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 303 K) ÷ 4 L

P = 7.45 atm

What word or two-word phrase best describes the shape of the hydrogen cyanide ( hcn ) molecule?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer : Linear

Explanation : Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) when drwan in the Lewis diagram shows carbon atom at the center with no lone electron pairs.

The carbon and nitrogen atoms are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair".

The molecule has two electron pairs in all and appears to be linear.

Also, according to the VSEPR theory; the electron clouds on atoms around the carbon will try to repel each other.

They will get pushed apart, which gives HCN molecule a linear molecular geometry or shape.

The bond angle that is developed will be 180 degrees since it has a linear molecular geometry of HCN. The hybridisation observed in this molecule is SP.
