We refer to astronauts in space as weightless, but not without mass. Why?

Weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object, therefore when an astronaut is in space with no gravity he is weightless. Mass is the actual amount of matter contained in a body, this won’t change if the gravity changes.

The formation of iodine is described by the following chemical equation:
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

N2O2(g) +O2(g) ===> 2NO2(g)

Explanation:

For a nonelementary reaction, the reaction equation is described as the sum of all the steps involved. All these steps constitute the reaction mechanism. Each step in the mechanism is an elementary reaction. The rate law of the overall reaction involves the rate determining step (slowest step) in the reaction sequence.

Now look at the overall reaction 2NO(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2NO2(g)

The two steps in the mechanism are

2NO(g) --------->N2O2(g) (fast)

N2O2(g) +O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g) (slow)

Summing all the steps and cancelling out the intermediate N2O2(g), we obtain the reaction equation;

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2NO2(g)

Hence the answer.

To achieve the highest return during recrystallization of a given solid, one must: Group of answer choices Add the minimum amoun
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Addition of too much of solvent will make the solution dilute due to which the crystals will not form. Hence option D is incorrect

On the other hand adding a minimum amount of boiling solvent will give a saturated solution for recrystallization. Hence, option A is incorrect

Addition of cold solvent will lower the rate of formation of crystals. Hence, both option B and C are incorrect

Using the periodic table in your textbook, calculate the molar mass of paraffin (C46H92O2).
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

677.39 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Find molar masses of elements

Carbon (C) - 12.01 g/mol

Hydrogen (H) - 1.01 g/mol

Oxygen (O) - 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Multiply the amount present

12.01 g/mol · 46 = 552.46 g/mol

1.01 g/mol · 92 = 92.92 g/mol

16.00 g/mol · 2 = 32.00 g/mol

Step 3: Add up all the molar masses to find compound molar mass

552.46 g/mol + 92.92 g/mol + 32.00 g/mol = 677.39 g/mol
