When you work with molar mass, you solve for the quantity of ''Moles'' within the substance by converting Mass. The way you can tell the equation is balanced would be by knowing whether the moles were equivalent on both sides or not. Therefore, if they are equal, it is balanced considering you have the same amount of moles on each side of the equation.

Explanation :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactant must be equal to the mass of product. That means mass remains conserved.

Based on the molar masses, we can tell that an equation is balanced or not.

If the sum of the molar mass of reactant side will be equal to the sum of the molar mass of product side then we can tell that an equation is balanced otherwise an equation is not balanced.

For example : 2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2

Now we have to check that this reaction is balanced or not.

As per law of conservation of mass,

Sum of molar mass of reactant = Sum of molar mass of product

2Na+2H_2O=2NaOH+H_2

The molar mass of sodium(Na), hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O) are 23, 1 and 16 g/mole respectively.

2(23)+2(2\times 1+16)=2(23+16+1)+2(1)

82=82

The mass of reactant side is equal to the product side that means this equation is balanced.

How many moles of nitrogen (N2) are needed to produce 9.60x10^24 molecules
Verizon [17]

The number of moles of Nitrogen : == 7.975

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Given

9.60x10²⁴ molecules  of nitrogen dioxide (NO2)

Required

The number of moles

Solution

Reaction

N2 + 2O2 → 2NO2

moles of NO2 :

= 9.6 x 10²⁴ : 6.02 x 10²³

= 15.95

From the equation, mol N2 :

= 1/2 x mol NO2

= 1/2 x 15.95

= 7.975

The number of molecules :

= 8 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 4.816 x 10²⁴

The volume of H₂ : = 15.2208 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2 As (s) + 6 NaOH (aq) → 2 Na₃AsO₃ (s) + 3 H₂ (g)

34.0g of As

Required

The volume of H₂ at STP

Solution

mol As (Ar = 75 g/mol) :

= mass : Ar

= 34 g : 75 g/mol

= 0.453 mol

From the equation, mol ratio As : H₂ = 2 : 3, so mol H₂ :

=3/2 x mol As

=3/2 x 0.453

= 0.6795

At STP, 1 mol = 22.4 L, so :

= 0.6795 x 22.4 L

= 15.2208 L

Persuasive argument against the nuclear warfare
antoniya [11.8K]
That only 250 warhead are needed to put the earth in nuclear winter
A Tsar Bomba (nuke with highest yield of 100,000 megatons developed by the Russians)in Tokyo results in 12 million dead instantly and a further 5 million in slow death.
Only the supergiants (US,Soviet Union,China,India,Uk,France,Pakistan,Israel and North K) have nukes with a fewer number of countries in the nuclear triad “hub”(US,Soviets,China,India) therefore these posses an unfair disadvantage.
Avearage nuke yield is 100 megatons which can wipe out a whole country.

They are not effective as one would use them unless they want to watch WW3 from their TV.

They produce high amount of radiation when you make them
Once produced they take a long time to dismantle.

I know everything about nukes so don’t hesitate to ask me about the topic:)

Gestalt psychology focuses on _____.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

the brain's ability to memorize information

Explanation:

Gestalt psychology provides a holistic perception to how the brain tends to deal with information it picks. The belief is that the whole is greater than the individual parts. Gestalt is a German word which means whole.

Psychologists that subscribes to this school of thought believes that the brain generally relates with events by creating a complete perceived view of such. For example, christmas lights are pictured as moving because its easier for the brain to relate with such rythm in that way. This helps the brain memorize a piece better than looking at individual relationship between the parts.
