Answer: 1.94 moles

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Given mass = 77.4 g

Molar mass = 40 g/mol

Putting in the values:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{77.4g}{40g/mol}=1.94

Thus 1.94 moles of calcium atoms are there in 77.4 g of Ca.

In your own words, explain how/why precipitates form. Also explain what spectator ions are.
Andrej [43]

A precipitate is a product of a reaction that is insoluble in the reaction medium (usually water).

Why?

One of the signs that a reaction happened is that a precipitate forms. Let's take the reaction between Silver Nitrate (AgNO₃) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl) as an example:

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s)↓ + NaNO₃(aq)

In this reaction, Silver Chloride (AgCl) is an insoluble product of the reaction, and precipitates out of the reaction medium

If we write down the ionic equation, we find out the following:

Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻ + Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl(s) + Na⁺ + NO₃⁻

The ions that appear at both sides of the arrow are called spectator ions, since they are not directly involved in the process of the reaction, making the net ionic equation to be:

Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻ → AgCl(s)

Have a nice day!

How many electrons are transferred when magnesium bonds ionically with oxygen
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2 electrons from magnesium (Mg) is transferred to oxygen (O2) to form Mg2+ and O2-

which combines by strong electrostatic force to form MgO

the equation is

2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO

A restaurant is trying to decide whether it should serve its customers coffee
san4es73 [151]

Coffee cools more quickly in a ceramic mug than in a Styrofoam

cup.

Explanation:

Styrofoam is a good insulator, thus for keeping the coffee warm for longer, it is a good choice than ceramic. The process involved in the control of heat dissipation employs the fact that the vapours in the form of gas are entrapped within, they lessen the conduction process between the molecules as a result molecules do not collide hence no energy releases or exchange takes place.

Styrofoam cups are made up of polystyrene foam. As a result of high insulation at styrofoam body conduction is not possible so coffee is warmer for longer.
