Answer:A mole is an arbitrary number of molecules in a single unit - refer to avogadro's number. Essentially, 1 mole is 6.022x10^23 molecules for ALL molecules or atoms, however one must remember that not all atoms/molecules are the same size, this is where mass comes into play. When you measure out 2 grams of carbon powder, there will be a lot more molecules present than if you weighed out 2 grams of thorium powder; this is because carbon is much smaller - kind of like a car filled with clowns, one given car can hold a lot of small clowns but only a few big ones; so the same volume is occupied but the amount of substance (clowns) varies on their own size. The arbitrary mass (relative to the hydrogen atom) for a molecule is the sum of its atomic components' atomic masses; e. g. C2H6's will have 2x12.00 (carbon) + 6x1.01 (hydrogen) = ~30 grams / mole.

Explanation:
The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized
Answer:
The temperature should be higher than 437.9 Kelvin (or 164.75 °C) to be spontaneous
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
ΔH∘=20.1 kJ/mol
ΔS is 45.9 J/K
<u>Step 2:</u> When is the reaction spontaneous
Consider temperature and pressure = constant.
The conditions for spontaneous reactions are:
ΔH <0
ΔS > 0
ΔG <0 The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures
ΔH <0
ΔS <0
ΔG <0 The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures ( ΔH - T*ΔS <0)
ΔH >0
ΔS >0
ΔG <0 The reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures ( ΔH - T*ΔS <0)
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate the temperature
ΔG <0 = ΔH - T*ΔS
T*ΔS > ΔH
T > ΔH/ΔS
In this situation:
T > (20100 J)/(45.9 J/K)
T > 437.9 K
T > 164.75 °C
The temperature should be higher than 437.9 Kelvin (or 164.75 °C) to be spontaneous
Gravity pulls gas and dust together. A protostar forms as mass increases.
