Answer:

The ability and tendency of certain systems to maintain a relatively constant internal state in spite of changes in external conditions; this ability is achieved by the presence of feedback mechanisms which can adjust the state of the system to compensate for changes in the state caused by the external environment. It is exemplified in homeothermal biological systems, such as animals which maintain relatively constant blood temperature and composition in spite of variations in external temperature or the composition of the food ingested.

describe how a physical property such as mass or Texture can change without causing a change in the substance

Tom [10]

You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example

CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O

If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.

However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.

Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.

You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.

So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.

How many mols are present in the a sample of silver nitrate which has<br> 5.3x10^24 molecules.

Westkost [7]

Answer: 5.3 x 10^24 formula units of silver nitrate is equivalent to 8.8 moles of silver nitrate. Silver nitrate is an ionic compound, therefore, its representative particle is called a "formula unit" instead of molecule. For every mole of a substance, we know that there are 6.022 x 10^23 representative units of that substance. The amount of particles in one mole of substance is called Avogadro's number.

Further Explanation:

We can convert from number of representative particles to moles using the formula:

$\boxed {no. \ of \ moles \ = \ ( given \ no. \ of \ particles) \ (\frac{1 \ mole}{\ 6.022 \ x 10^{23} particles})}$

For this problem, we can calculate the number of moles by plugging in the given values to the equation above,

$no. \ of \ moles \ = (5.3 \ x \ 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ AgNO_{3}) \ (\frac{1 \ mole \ AgNO_{3}}{6.022 \ x 10^{23} \ formula \ units AgNO_{3}}) \\\\\boxed {no. \ of moles \ AgNO_{3} \ = \ 8.8 \ moles}$

If ba+2 will reacts with n-3, the formula of the compound formed is:

Ivanshal [37]

If $Ba^{+2}$ will reacts with $N^{-3}$ , the formula of the compound formed is $Ba_3N_2$ .

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compounds are neutral compounds made up of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

Barium is a metal element and Nitrogen is a non-metal element, so they form an ionic compound. To make the formula of an ionic compound, first, we need to see the valence of the atoms, that is, how many electrons it can donate or it has to gain to have 8 electrons in the valence layer (octet rule).

Barium is in family 2, so it has two electrons in its valence layer, so it must donate these two electrons; Nitrogen is in family 15, so it has 5 electrons ins its valence layer and must gain 3 electrons.

Writing the ions they must form:

$Ba^{+2}N^{-3}$

First came the cation (positive charge), then the anion (negative charge), and the charges must change between them, without the signal, and will inform how many atoms are necessary for which element:

$Ba_3N_2$

Hence, If $Ba^{+2}$ will reacts with $N^{-3}$ , the formula of the compound formed is $Ba_3N_2$ .
