Answer:

th mol

Explanation:

When you balance an equation, you can refer back to the coefficients when calcuating mol and molar mass from the given information about one reactant to antoher reactant ot product. you use the coeffiecients for mol-mol ratio.

for example. if you are given A +3 B -----> 6C + 5D, and you have 10 mol of A and you have to find how many mols of C with 10 mol of A. then you would ratio it as A: C = 10A: 10C= 10(1): 10(6)= 10:60. so with 10 mol A you can make 60 mol C.

How does biodiversity generate the economy?

Lesechka [4]

Biodiversity helps an economy grow and develop over time because such as the circle of life we need other things in order to evolve such as trees so we can be able to breathe and plants so the herbivores can eat so we can eat them because we are all part of a cycle and in order to keep the cycle going we need biodiversity to keep the food chain going and our economy well and lifted

Calculate the hydrogen-ion concentration [H+] for the aqueous solution in which [OH–] is 1 x 10–11 mol/L. Is this solution acidi

Pepsi [2]

POH = -log [OH-]
pOH = - log (1 x 10^-11)
pOH = -(-11) = 11

pH + pOH = 14
pH + 11 = 14
pH = 14 - 11 = 3

A solution is prepared by dissolving 27.0 g of urea [(NH2)2CO], in 150.0 g of water. Calculate the boiling point of the solution

andrew11 [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The boiling point of solution is 101.56°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and boiling point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure water = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.52°C/m.g

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (urea) = 27.0 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (urea) = 60 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 150.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-100=1\times 0.52^oC/m\times \frac{27\times 1000}{60\times 150}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=101.56^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 101.56°C

Draw the best lewis structure for bro4- and determine the formal charge on bromine

Svetach [21]

Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.

The given molecule is, perbromate ion.

Bromine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in perbromate ion, $BrO_4^-$ = 7 + 4(6) + 1 = 32
