Chemistry

Answer:

Na.

Explanation:

The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).

An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.

A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.

For the reaction:

Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".

S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".

In determining nuclear binding energy, what is Einstein's equation used to do?

natita [175]

Basically this is used in calculating the nuclear binding energy by converting the mass defect (calculated first) to energy and if we recall, Einstein's equation E=mc2 is the perfection equation to use because E=mc2 in which E represents units of energy, m represents units of mass, and c 2 is the speed of light squared.

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

A brick has a mass of 4.0 kg and the Earth has a mass of 6.0 × 1027 g. Use this information to answer the questions below. Be su

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a) $2.4\times 10^{24} kg$ is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.

b) $2.5\times 10^3$ moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.

Explanation:

a) Mass of brick = 4.0 kg

1 mole = $N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ particles/ atoms/molecules

Mass of $N_A$ bricks :

$=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 4.0 kg=2.4088\times 10^{24} kg\approx 2.4\times 10^{24} kg$

$2.4\times 10^{24} kg$ is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.

Mass of the Earth = M = $6.0\times 10^{27} kg$

Mass of 1 mole of brick = m= $2.4\times 10^{24} kg$

Let the moles of brick with equal mass of the Earth be x.

$m\times x=M$

$x=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{6.0\times 10^{27}kg}{2.4\times 10^{24} kg}=2.5\times 10^3$

$2.5\times 10^3$ moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.

Which of the following is true? Covalent bonds are strong intermolecular forces. Covalent bonds are weak intramolecular forces.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

They are strong intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Covalent forces are very strong intermolecular forces. In fact, we can say they are the strongest. This is because several big and giant molecules have covalent bonds holding their molecules together. A good example of this is the buckministerfullerence molecule which contains carbon atom to the order of 60 carbon atoms. It is a very giant molecule and it is covalent bond that is holding the molecules together

The strongest substance in the world is diamond. It is so strong that no other substance can cut it asides another diamond. As strong as it is, the molecule is held together by very strong intermolecular forces of covalent bonds which confers the strength it has on it
