An element is just consisted of one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemicals (Ex. Oxygen just has the oxygen molecule)

A compound is when there's a mixture of atoms and can be broken down by chemicals (Ex. NaCl is made up of sodium and chloride atoms)

Answer: a) 0.070 moles of oxygen were produced.

b) New pressure due to the oxygen gas is 2.4 atm

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 2.7 atm

V = Volume of gas = 700 ml = 0.7 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature = 329 K

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{2.7atm\times 0.7L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 329K}=0.070moles

Thus 0.070 moles of oxygen were produced.

When the 700 mL flask cools to a temperature of 293K.

PV=nRT

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

P=\frac{0.070\times 0.0821\times 293}{0.7}

P=2.4atm

The new pressure due to the oxygen gas is 2.4 atm

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

I just write the formulas of the reactants and products and balanced the reactions.

a)

          3H₂(g)  +  N₂(g)   ⇒   2NH₃

b)

          2K  +  2H₂O  ⇒   2KOH  +  H₂ (g)

c)

         2Al(s)   +  Fe₂O₃  ⇒   Al₂O₃  +  2Fe

d)

         Fe₂O₃  +  2Al   ⇒  Al₂O₃  +  2Fe

e)

         Ba(OH)₂  +  2HBr   ⇒   BaBr₂  +  2H₂O

f)

         CaCO₃  + Δ ⇒  CaO  + CO₂

How many grams of NaF form when 0.589 mol of HF react with excess Na2SiO3?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

6.18 g

Explanation:

We know we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

M_r:                                             41.99  

                 Na₂SiO₃ + 8HF ⟶ 2NaF + H₂SiF₆ + 3H₂O  

<em>n</em>/mol:                         0.58    

1. Use the molar ratio of NaF:HF to calculate the moles of NaF.

\text{Moles of NaF} = \text{0.589 mol HF} \times \frac{\text{2 mol NaF}}{\text{8 mol HF}} = \text{0.1472 mol NaF}

2. Use the molar mass of NaF to calculate the mass of NaF.

\text{Mass of NaF} = \text{0.1472 mol NaF} \times \frac{\text{41.99 g NaF}}{\text{1 mol NaF}} = \text{6.18 g NaF}

What's the name of the part of cells that sense molecules and other cells?
VladimirAG [237]
Because membrane receptors interact with both extracellular signals and molecules within the cell, they permit signaling molecules to affect cell function without actually entering the cell.
