Answer:

What do you think causes some rock types to have higher densities than others? (Assuming there are no air pockets in the rock, the types of minerals will determine the density. Granite contains lots of quartz and feldspar - both fairly light minerals, whereas basalt and gabbro are made of heavier minerals.)

To convert from mass of X to liters of Y in any stoichiometry problem, the following steps must be followed

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A. mass X to moles X to moles Y to liters Y

Explanation:

Remember: moles are the great converter. They're basically just a made-up concept meant to facilitate conversions!

Starting with mass X, you must then convert to moles X.

Once you have moles X, convert moles Y. Think of a chemical equation: the mole ratios are the coefficients!

Once you have moles Y, all you have to do is convert to liters Y. You can do this with the molarity equation M = mol/L, or if it's a gas at STP you know the conversion!

What is the theoretical yield of Li3N in grams when 12.8 g of Li is heated with 34.9 g of N2?

Olenka [21]

Answer:- 21.4 grams of $Li_3N$ are formed.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

$6Li+N_2\rightarrow 2Li_3N$

From this equation, lithium and nitrogen reacts in 6:1 mol ratio. Limiting reactant gives the theoretical yield of the product. We will calculate the grams of the product for the given grams of both the reactants and see which one of them gives the limited amount of the product. This limited amount of the product will be the theoretical yield.

The molar mass of Li is 6.94 gram per mol and for $N_2$ It is 28.02 gram per mol. The molar mass of $Li_3N$ is 34.83 gram per mol. The calculations for the grams of the product for given grams of both the reactants are shown below:

$12.8gLi(\frac{1molLi}{6.94gLi})(\frac{2molLi_3N}{6molLi})(\frac{34.83gLi_3N}{1molLi_3N})$

= $21.4gLi_3N$

$34.9gN_2(\frac{1molN_2}{28.02gN_2})(\frac{2molLi_3N}{1molN_2})(\frac{34.83gLi_3N}{1molLi_3N})$

= $86.8gLi_3N$

From above calculations, Li gives least amount of the product. So, 21.4 g of $Li_3N$ are formed.

Is dissolving salt a chemical change or physical change and why?

Firlakuza [10]

It's a physical change because the composition of the salt hasn't change. Only the change in substance/form has occured. To tell if something has undergone physical change is:

• Melting

• Boiling

• Freezing

• Condensing

• Breaking

• Bending

• Dissolving

• Molecules can change motion and proximity

To tell if something changed chemically:

• Molecules rearrange with other molecules to make new substance

• Can be production of flames

• Color change

• Bubbling/fizzing

• Temp. change

• change in composition

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. Calcium nitrate reacts with sodium phospha

RoseWind [281]

6.07 grams is the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂).

<h3>How we calculate mass from moles?</h3>

Mass of any substance can be calculated by using moles as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M= molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO₄)₂

From the stoichiometry it is clear that:

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ = produce 1 mole of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Given mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ = 96.1g

Mole of Ca(NO₃)₂ = 96.1g/164g/mol = 0.5859moles

So, 0.5859 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ = produce 0.5859×1/3 = 0.0196 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Required mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ will be calculated by using moles as:

W = 0.0196mole × 310g/mole = 6.07 grams

Hence, 6.07 grams is the theoretical yield of calcium phosphate.
