A bar of snickers contains 28 g of sugar (C6H12O6)

In the spring of 1984, concern arose over the presence of ethylene dibromide, or EDB, in grains and cereals. EDB has the molecul

Lady bird [3.3K]

869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

Explanation:

We have 1.9 lb of flour with a EDB concentration of 31.5 ppb.

We need to transform lb in grams.

1 lb = 453.6 grams

1.9 lb = (1.9 × 453.6) / 1 = 861.8 grams

Now we determine the number of molecules of EDB in the sample by devise the following reasoning:

if we have 31.5 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB in 1 g of sample

then we have X g of EDB in 861.8 g of sample

X = (31.5 × 10⁻⁹ × 861.8) / 1 = 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB

Molecular mass of EDB (C₂H₄Br₂) = 188 g/mole

Taking in account that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ (Avogadro’s number) molecules we devise the following reasoning:

if 188 g of EDB contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

then 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB contains Y molecules

Y = (27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ × 6.022 × 10²³) / 188 = 869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

A chemist adds of a calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has

Elanso [62]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist adds 0.85 L of a 0.0050M calcium sulfate to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: The mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

moles of $CaSO_4$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{136g/mol}$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$0.0050=\frac{x}{136\times 0.85}$

$x=0.58 g$

Therefore, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g

HBr + H₂SO₄ SO₂ + Br₂ + H₂O<br><br> whats the oxidizing agent and whats the reducing agent?

seropon [69]

Answer:

HBr + H₂SO₄ → SO₂ + Br₂ + H₂O An oxidizing agent is a substance that itself becomes reduced and oxidizes the other chemical species in the reaction mixture. A reducing agent is similar, except that it becomes oxidized and reduces the other substance. In the reaction, the valency of bromine changes from -1 to 0, so it is oxidized
