Answer:

6.38×10²¹ molecules

Explanation:

Formula for molybdenum chloride is:

Mo₂Cl₁₀

Molar mass is : (Molar mass for Mo) . 2 + (Molar mass for Cl) . 10

95.94  . 2 + 35.45  . 10 = 546.38 g/mol

We determine moles that are contained in 5.790 g of Mo₂Cl₁₀

5.790 g . 1 mol /546.38 g = 0.0106 moles

We count the molecules:  0.0106 mol . 6.02×10²³ molecules / mol =

6.38×10²¹ molecules

Remember that 6.02×10²³ is also called Avogadro's number (NA) which is the number of particles of anything, that are contained in 1 mol.

<span>These are five questions with its five answers.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>First, we have to explain main question.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
</span><span>The statement provides the chemical equation for the reaction of Fe with water to produce iron(III) oxide and hydrogen.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
</span><span>Fe3O4 is a weird chemical formula. It belongs to the product named oxoiron.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
Next, I have to tell how you must interpret the question. The five questions are based on the complete reaction of the same number of moles as the coefficients indicated in the chemical equation.
</span><span />

<span>Those coefficients are 3 for Fe, 4 for H₂O, 1 for Fe₃O₄ and 4 for H₂.


With that understood, let's work every question.


1) How many molecules of H₂ are produced?


Answer: 4 moles of molecules.

</span><span>Justification:
</span>

<span /><span /><span>This is, the number of moles of H₂ produced is given by the coefficient indicated in the chemical equation.
</span><span />

<span>2) How many oxygen atoms are required?
</span><span />

<span>Answer: 4.

</span><span>This is, the atoms of oxygen are supplied in the molecules of water. Since the coeffcient of water is 4, and each molecule o fwater has 1 atom of oxygen, 4 moles of water contain 4 moles of atoms of oxygen.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
3) How many moles of Fe₃O₄ are formed?
</span><span />

<span>Answer: 1.
</span><span />

<span>Justification: the coefficient of for formula Fe₃O₄ is 1, indicating that the theoretical yield is 1 mol of molecules.
</span><span />

<span>4) What is the mole ratio of Fe to H₂O?
</span><span />

<span>Answer: 3:4
</span><span />

<span>Justification:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The ratio is the quotient of the two coefficients: the coefficient of the Fe divided by the coefficient of the H₂O.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
5) How many hydrogen atoms are involved in this reaction?
</span><span />

<span>Answer: 8 moles of hydrogen atoms.
</span><span />

<span>Justification: as you can see each molecule of H₂O has 2 atoms of hydrogen, then 4 moles of molecules of H₂O have 8 moles of atoms of hydrogen. And of course the same number are in the produt: 4 moles of H₂ contain 8 moles of atomos of hydrogen

For question #12, use the following picture:<br><br> 12. What element is this? How do you know?
labwork [276]

Answer: The element shown in the image is Helium (He).

Explanation: We are given a image of an atom having protons, neutrons and electrons.

Number of protons as shown in image = 2

Number of neutrons as shown in image = 2

Number of electron as shown in image = 2

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Atomic number of the element = 2

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 2 + 2 = 4

The element having Atomic number = 2 and mass number = 4 is Helium.

Element = ^4_2\textrm{He}
