How many molecules are in 3 moles of potassium bromide (KBr)

Chemistry

sattari [20]3 years ago

Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

K

+

, and bromide anions,

Br

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

M

M

=

39.0963 g mol

1

For Br:

M

M

=

79.904 g mol

−

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

M

M KBr

=

39.0963 g mol

+

79.904 g mol

−

≈

119 g mol

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

119 g

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

3

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

Why do atomic model has changed over time
Elenna [48]

The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.

You have been asked to prove that the Oil Spill Eater speeds up the reaction as you found above. Describe the basic set up of a
andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. Run a test reaction of crude oil with ocean water over time with Oil Spill Eater present

Explanation:

In any laboratory experiment, all the apparatus needed to carry out a particular experiment must be provided. In this case, our apparatus will be crude oil with ocean water and oil spill eater which is the enzyme used.

We can then run a test reaction of crude oil with ocean water over time with Oil Spill Eater present.

hi, 100 points, , will also mark brainly-ist (what's the boiling point of water) ((you don't need to answer that))​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

212 degrees F, and 100 degrees C.

Explanation:

If the temperature is held constant (which requires some heat input, since evaporation cools things) the liquid will all evaporate. If the temperature is much above 212 F, the water will boil. That means that it wont just evaporate from the surface but will form vapor bubbles, which then grow, inside the liquid itself.   :)

A reaction in which small nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus is called______
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Nuclear fussion

Explanation:

In Chemistry there are 2 nuclear processes:

Nuclear fission: is the process in which the nucleus of a radiactive element splits into two smaller nucleus, or two elements woth lower atomic number.

Nuclear fussion, is a reaction is which to small nucleus combine to form a heavier element.
