Chemistry

Answer:

  • sec² (x)

Explanation:

Use the trigonometric ratio definition of the tangent function and the quotient rule.

  • tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)

Quotient rule: the derivative of a quotient is:

  • [the denominator × the derivative of the numerator less the numerator × the derivative of the denominator] / [denominator]²

  • (f/g)' = [ g×f' - f×g'] / g²

So,

  • tan(x)' = [ sin(x) / cos(x)]'
  • [ sin(x) / cos(x)]' = [ cos(x) sin(x)' - sin(x) cos(x)' ] / [cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos(x)cos(x) + sin(x) sin(x) ] / [ cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos²(x) + sin²(x) ] / cos²(x)

                                   = 1 / cos² (x)

                                   = sec² (x)

The result is that the derivative of tan(x) is sec² (x)

Explain how you would convert the moles of a compound to the made (grams) of the same compound<br>​
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

see notes below

Explanation:

The mole is the mass of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number of particles. That is, 1 mole substance = 1 formula weight. For elements, 1 mole weight is equal to the atomic weight expressed as grams. For molecules, 1 mole weight is equal to the molecular weight expressed as grams.

1 mole = 1 formula weight

<u>Moles to Grams and Grams to Moles</u>

Grams => Moles

Given grams, moles = mass given / formula weight

*Ask the question => How many formula weights are there in the given mass? => Results is always moles.

Moles => Grams

Given moles,  grams = moles given X formula weight

*Summary

Grams to Moles => divide by formula weight

Moles to Grams => multiply by formula weight
