Answer:

1.5 moles

Explanation:

The formula to calculate number of moles (n) is

n = m/m.m where

m = mass (in gram)

m.m = molar mass (g/mol)

Mass of the water molecules has been given in the question to be 27 g

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

Atomic mass of oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of water (H₂O) = (2 ₓ 1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

n = 27/18

n = 1.5 moles

1.5 moles of water molecules (H₂O) are present in 27 gram sample of water.

Molar mass of H2O = 1 x 2 (of 2 H) + 16 (of 1 O)
No. of moles of water = Mass/Molar mass = 27g/(18 g/mol) = 1.5 mol

What do you think happens to the bonds between atoms when substances melt?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker. This is why a liquid can take fill the shape of its container, whereas a solid has a fixed shape.

Which actions represent endothermic reactions? Check all that apply. an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule

DerKrebs [107]

Answer is: an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule and baking bread.

Endothermic reaction is chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases.
In ice pack, reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings (endothermic reaction), lowering the surrounding temperature.
For splitting molecule and baking bread we must add energy to break bonds between atoms.

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due to its effectiveness as a poison.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

Complete the following paragraph.

gladu [14]

Explanation:

the stationary phase in TLC is a silica gel coated metal plate or paper.

The individual component of the mixure will travel a greater distance up the plate, resulting in a Rf value for the component.

the p-Xylene spot will travel a greater distance as it is the lighter component

Bromobenzene will travel least as it is the heavier component.

thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a type of chromatographic seperation technique that is based on the molecular size of components. the Rf value is the distance covered by the component relative to that travelled by the solvent which is the mobile phase
