How many molecules are in 2.38g of SO2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
5 0

2.63 x 10^22 molecules of SO2.

To find this, start with what you know.

2.38g of SO2.

You need to first convert this into Moles since you cannot directly convert grams into molecules. In order to convert grams to moles, you need to find the molecular mass of SO2 - 64.066.

This is because Sulfur has the mass of 32.066 and Oxygen has a mass of 16, but since there are two Oxygen atoms, it's going to be 32.

Your equation should currently appear as so:

2.38g of SO2 = 1 Mole of SO2 / 64.066

Now, you need to convert this to molecules.

Whenever you are searching for molecules without a given amount, you always use Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23

Now, your equation should appear as so:

2.38g SO2 = 1 Mole of SO2 / 64.066 next to a new fraction which is 6.02 x 10^23 / 1 Mole of SO2

Now, multiply across (2.38 x 1 x 6.02 x 10^23). When using Avogadro's number, don't forget to place parenthesis around it.

Then, divide that number by the bottom: 64.066.

Thus, your final answer is that there is 2.63 x 10^22 molecules of SO2.

Don't forget your units!

Hope this helps!

How does a battery become depleted or out of charge? * -the number of protons and electrons at both terminals are not equal -the
kompoz [17]

Answer:

the number of protons and neutrons at both terminals are equal

Explanation:

When the number of positive charge and negative charge are both equally the terminal, it becomes neutral and out of charge, because first it undergo enough chemical reaction and there is no remaining tendency for positive and negative charges to get separated. When this tendency dies, the battery also will run out of charge.

In an experiment, 34.8243g of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O was heated to a constant mass of 27.0351g. Calculate th
Leto [7]

Answer:

1) The mass of water lost = 7.7892 grams

2) Z = 3: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O = 34.8243 grams

Mass of substance after heating = 27.0351 grams

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2 = 187.56 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water

The mass of water is the mass lost after heating.

Mass water = 34.8243 - 27.0351 = 7.7892 grams of water

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = Mass Cu(NO3)2 / Molar mass Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 27.0351 grams / 187.56 g/mol

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 0.144 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = 7.7892 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.432 moles

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Z

z = moles H2O / moles Cu(NO3)2

Z = 0.432/0.144

Z = 3

This means we have 3 water molecules in the formula. This makes the formula ofthe hydrate: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Zoe is frying eggs in a pan. The eggs cook because of _____ of heat. Zoe feels hot as she stands near the stove mostly because o
erica [24]

Answer:

1) conduction

2) Radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer by which heat energy is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles of the material remaining the same.

Radiation is a process of heat transfer by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler point without any intervening medium.

The pan used to fry the egg is a conductor of heat hence heat can pass through it by conduction thereby enabling the eggs to cook.

Heat can travel without an intervening medium hence Zoe feels hot near the stove. This ability of the heat to travel without an intervening medium is called radiation.

How many grams of chlorine gas react when 266.28 grams of aluminum reacts
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

524.82 g Cl2

Explanation:

Balanced Equation:

2Al(s) + 3Cl(g) ⇒ 2AlCl (s)

Al: 26.982 g/mol     Cl: 35.453 g/mol

266.28g Al x 1mol Al/ 26.982g Al x 3mol Cl2/ 2mol Al x

35.453g Cl2/ 1mol Cl2 = 524.82 g Cl2
