vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
5 0
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are used generally in aerosols, sprays, perfume, refrigerants, insulation foams and other stuffs. Throughout its applications, the negative impacts weighed more than its benefits. Its greater setback is the contribution to the thinning of the ozone layer which exposes us more with the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.

How many grams of water are made from the reaction of 16.0 grams of o2? given the reaction: 2h2 o2 --> 2h2o
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

18.0 g H₂O

Explanation:

To find the mass of water (H₂O), you need to (1) convert grams O₂ to moles O₂ (via the molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles H₂O (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles H₂O to grams H₂O (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.014 g/mol

2 H₂ + 1 O₂ -----> 2 H₂O

16.0 g O₂          1 mole            2 moles H₂O         18.014 g
---------------  x  ----------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  = 18.0 g H₂O
                        31.996 g             1 mole O₂             1 mole

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is a(n)______ , of which there are 92
Nadusha1986 [10]

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.

Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.
