Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.

Calculate the volume of 11 g of CO2 at NTP ?​
Kitty [74]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 Liters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • N.T.P. refers to the standard temperature and pressure (S.T.P).

We need to know that;

  • One mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at N.T.P.

In this case;

We have 11 g of CO₂

But, 1 mole of CO₂ occupies 22.4 l at N.T.P.

1 mole of CO₂ = 44 g

Therefore;

44 g of CO₂ = 22.4 liters

What about 11 g ?

= (11 g × 22.4 l)÷ 44 g

= 5.6 l

Therefore, 11 g of CO₂ will occupy a volume of 5.6 liters at N.T.P.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between the four cells.

Explanation:

During meiosis, a diploid cell  (46 chromosomes) replicates its DNA (making 92 chromosomes) then undergoes two cell divisions to generate four haploid cells (23 chromosomes).

These haploid cells are the gametes which, during fertilization, fuse to become a zygote with 46 chromosomes.

You have a 25.2 L sample of gas at 1.25 atm and 25.0 degrees Celsius. How many moles are present in this gas. For your answer, p
Elenna [48]

Answer:

  • <u>1.29 mol</u>

Explanation:

This is a direct application of the equation for ideal gases.

  • PV=nRT

Where:

  • P = pressure = 1.25 atm
  • V = volume = 25.2 liter
  • R = Universal constant of gases = 0.08206 atm-liter/K-mol
  • T = absolute temperature = 25.0ºC = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K
  • n = number of moles

Solving for n:

  • n=\frac{PV}{RT}

Substituting:

n=\frac{1.25atm\times 25.2liter}{0.08206atm-liter/K-mol\times298.15K }\\\\n=1.29mol

How many moles of hydrogen are in 3. 06 × 10⁻³ g of glycine , c₂h₅no₂?.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

n = 6.06 x 10^{-4} mol

Explanation:

n =?

m = 3.06 x 10-³ g

M (H5) = 5 x 1.01 (Since we only want hydrogen)

Atomic mass of C = 12.01

Atomic mass of H is 1,01, etc.

Having this data, we can use the Molar mass formula and change it so we can know the quantity of matter (n) in moles, and we just replace it.

M = \frac{m}{n} ⇔ n = \frac{m}{M} ⇔ n = \frac{3.06 x 10^{-3} }{5,05} ⇔ n = 6.06 x 10^{-4} mol

Note: The numbers I've used may be different from yours, by a small difference. I don't know if it's the case, but hope it helped.
