Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

*amu = atomic mass units => sum of atomic weights of elements

Type the correct answer in the box.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a= <em>In scientific notation</em>

6.96000×10⁵ Km

b =<em>In  expanded notation</em>

0.00019 mm

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius of sun = 696000 Km

size of bacterial cell = 1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

Radius of sun in scientific notation = ?

Size of bacterial cell in expanded notation = ?

Solution:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

. The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

for example the number 6324.4 in scientific notation will be written as = 6.3244 × 10³

Radius of sun:

696000 Km

<em>In scientific notation</em>

6.96000 × 10⁵ Km

The expanded notation is standard notation of writing the numerical values which is normal way. The numbers are written as they are, without the power of 10.

Size of bacterial cell:

1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

<em>In  expanded notation</em>

1.9/ 10000 = 0.00019 mm

Dipole-dipole interactions are (weaker than, stronger than, equal to) hydrogen bonds.
kozerog [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Dipole-Dipole interactions are <u>weaker than</u> hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bonds are a form of dipole-dipole interactions, being the strongest form of dipole-dipole interactions.

Find the total number of atoms in a sample of cocaine hydrochloride, c17h22clno4, of mass 23.0 mg .
Nataliya [291]
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of <span>c17h22clno4 = 17(12) + 22(1) + 35.5 + 14 + 4(16) = 339.5 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = (23*10^-3) / (339.5)
number of moles = 6.77 * 10^-5 moles

number of atoms = number of moles * Avogadro's number
number of atoms = 6.77*10^-5 * 6.022*10^-23
number of atoms = 4.079 * 10^-27 atoms</span>

In the reaction ___h2+n2 -&gt;2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?
Nataly_w [17]
In order to balance this equation you need to count each element and how many of the individual elements are in the equation.
_H2+N2=2 NH3
You multiply the 2 (Which is the coefficient) by the 3 (which is the subscript) This would equal 6 which indicated there are 6 hydrogen atoms on the right side so the left side should also have 6 hydrogen atoms

The missing coefficient on the left side must multiple the 2 to become 6 hydrogen
