Answer:

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to know<u> how much do 0.550 moles of selenium weigh</u>. To do that we use selenium's<em> molar mass </em>and multiply it by the given number of moles:

0.550 mol * 78.96 g/mol = 43.43 g

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

Stochiometry .How many grams of CO2 is produced when excess CS2 reacts with 4 mols of O2? CS2+O2-SO2 Please balance equation.

Travka [436]

Mass of CO₂ produced : 58.67 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

CS₂ + 3O₂ -------> CO₂ + 2SO₂

mol of CO₂ based on mol of O₂ as a limiting reactant(CS₂ as an excess reactant)

From the equation, mol ratio of mol CO₂ : mol O₂ = 1 : 3, so mol CO₂ :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{3}\times 4=\dfrac{4}{3}$

mass CO₂ (MW= 44 g/mol) :

$\tt \dfrac{4}{3}\times 44=58.67~g$

A scientist finds that one volume of an unknown gas X combines with two volumes of another gas Y to form two volumes of a new ga

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Gas X

Explanation:

The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:

$X+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2$

According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.

Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. $XY_2$ cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.

Between gas X and gas Y , <u>X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance </u>as:

$X_2+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2$

Which type of radioactive decay does not cause change in the atomic mass of the product

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Gamma decay/radiation

Explanation:

Gamma radiation has no mass and no electrical charge which means no change in the atomic number or mass number when gamma rays are emitted.
