Answer:

1.99 x 10²³ formula units

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of AgF = 42.15g

Unknown:

The amount of formula units

Solution:

To solve this problem, we set out by find the number of moles in this compound from the given mass.

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of AgF = 107.9 + 19 = 126.9g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{42.15}{126.9}$ = 0.33 moles

1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ formula units

0.33 moles of AgF = 0.33 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 1.99 x 10²³ formula units

The fermentation of glucose (C6H12O6) produces ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and CO2:

Jlenok [28]

To answer your question I will use dimensional analysis, which is used by cancelling out the units. I will also use the balanced equation provided as a conversion factor.

A) First start out with the 0.300 mol of C6H12O6...
0.300 mol C6H12O6 * (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 0.600 mol CO2

*The significant figures (sig figs) at still three, the 2 is a conversion counting number and does not count*

B) First change 2.00 g of C2H5OH to moles of C2H5OH...
The molecular mass of C2H5OH is...
2(12.01 g/mol) + 5(1.008 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 46.07 g/mol
This can be used as a conversion factor to change grams to moles.
2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) = 0.0434 mol C2H5OH

Second, you can change the moles of C2H5OH to moles of C6H12O6..
0.0434 mol C2H5OH * (1 mol C6H12O6 / 2 mol C6H12O6) = 0.0217 mol C6H12O6

Third, change moles of C6H12O6 to grams...
MM = 6(12.01 g/mol) + 12(1.008 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) = 180.16 g/mol
0.0217 mol C6H12O6 * (180.16 g C6H12O6 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 3.91 g C6H12O6

C) Now I am going to put it all into one long dimensional analysis problem.
MM of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
MM of C2H5OH = 46.07 g/mol

2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) * (2 mol CO2 / 2 mol C2H5OH) * (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 1.91 g CO2

I hope this helped and I am sorry that I talked to much, I just didn't want to miss anything!

Which of the following sequences describe how a four stoke engine cycle powers the engine

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A four cycle engine works with 4 basic steps to a successful rotation of the crankshaft: the intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke. Each engine cylinder has four openings for the intake, exhaust, spark plug and fuel injection. ... The compression makes the air-fuel combination volatile for easier ignition.

Calculate the volume in milliliters of a 0.420mol / L barlum chlorate solution that contains 25.0 g of barium chlorate (Ba(ClO 3

Pachacha [2.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of barium chlorate is 195.65 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$
