What is a mole?

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.

Write isotopic symbols in the form AZX for each isotope. a. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons b. the copper isotope with 36 ne
krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

The form AZX denoted that;

Z = The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

A = Mass Number ( Sum of Neutrons and Protons)

X represents the element.

A. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 34 = 63

63.29.Cu

B. the copper isotope with 36 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 36 = 65

65.29.Cu

C. the potassium isotope with 21 neutrons

X = K

Atomic Number of Potassium, Z = 19

Mass Number, A = 19 + 21 = 40

40.19.K

D. the argon isotope with 22 neutrons

X = Ar

Atomic Number of Argon, Z = 18

Mass Number, A = 18 + 22 = 40

40.18.Ar

What is the molecular formula for C5H7 if its molar mass is 536 g/mol?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(C5H7)8

Explanation:

It's empirical formula is given as; C5H7

Molar mass of carbon(C) = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen(H) = 1 g/mol

We are told that it's molar mass is 536 g/mol.

To find the molecular formula;

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Thus;

n = 536/((12 × 5) + (1 × 7))

n = 8

Thus;

Molecular formula = (C5H7)8

Nitrogen gas (112 g) reacts with hydrogen gas to produce 40.8 g of ammonia according to the following
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

%yield of NH₃ = 30%

Explanation:

Actual yield of NH₃ = 40.8g

Theoretical yield = ?

Equation of reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Molar mass of NH₃ = 17g/mol

Molarmass of N = 14.00

2 molecules of N = 2 * 14.00 = 28g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of moles * molar mass

Mass = 1 * 28.00 = 28g of N₂ (the number of moles of N₂ from the equation is 1).

From the equation of reaction,

28g of N₂ produce (2 * 17)g of NH₃

28g of N₂ = 34g of NH₃

112g of N₂ = x g of NH₃

X = (112 * 34) / 28

X = 136g of NH₃

Theoretical yield = 136g of NH₃

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

% yield = (40.8 / 136) * 100

% yield = 0.3 * 100

% yield = 30%
