What is a mole?

1 answer:

It's hard to relate a mole to carbon or sulfur. Imagine if I walked up to you and said, "What's the relation between a dozen and donuts?"

A mole is a form of measurement for atoms, more specifically, 6.02 * 10^23 atoms. I suppose you could relate it to Carbon or Sulfur, since the number of atoms of each are usually measured in moles.

Carbon and Sulfur don't have a set number of moles (Just like donuts don't have to be a dozen), so it's hard to answer your second question.
In the atomic table, the number you see under the element is the molar mass, which is the weight of an a mole of the element. In this way, I guess there's a mole of Carbon and Sulfur present, if we're looking at the periodic table.

Use Hess's Law to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

ΔH = 125.94kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to make algebraic sum of reactions to obtain ΔH of reactions (Hess's law). In the problem:

1. 2W(s) + 3O2(g) → 2WO3(s) ΔH = -1685.4 kJ

2. 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) ΔH = -477.84 kJ

-1/2 (1):

WO3(s) → W(s) + 3/2O2(g) ΔH = 842.7kJ

3/2 (2):

3H2(g) + 3/2O2(g) → 3H2O(g) ΔH = -716.76kJ

The sum of last both reactions:

WO3(s) + 3H2(g) → W(s) + 3H2O(g)

ΔH = 842.7kJ -716.76kJ

Inside a flashbulb, oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium. When the flashbulb is set off, a chemical reaction takes place in

hoa [83]

Answer:

Oxygen and magnesium come together in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product. This is an exothermic reaction.

Which statement best explains why mass is not conserved in a nuclear change?

kogti [31]

Answer:

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

Some mass is turned into energy, according to E=mc2.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation. E is the energy, m is mass, and c is the constant speed of light. Einstein came up with it to show that energy and mass are proportional - one can turn into the other, and back again.
