Answer:

Atoms of each element contain a characteristic number of protons. In fact, the number of protons determines what atom we are looking at (e.g., all atoms with six protons are carbon atoms); the number of protons in an atom is called the atomic number. In contrast, the number of neutrons for a given element can vary.

What is the concentration of FeCl3 in a solution prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of FeCl3 in enough water to make 275 mL of soluti

puteri [66]

Answer: The concentartion of solution will be 0.224 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n= moles of solute = $\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{10.0g}{162.2g/mol}=0.0616moles$

${V_s}$ = volume of solution in ml = 275 ml

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

$Molarity=\frac{0.0616\times 1000}{275ml}=0.224mole/L$

Therefore, the concentration of solution will be 0.224 M

The combustion of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes produces:

algol [13]

Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. When these compounds undergo complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water. Otherwise, when incomplete combustion occurs, carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide are produced. Note that carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that is harmful to people's health.
