What mass of radon is in 8.17 moles of radon?
Len [333]

Answer:

1813.74g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of radon  = 8.17moles

Unknown:

Mass of radon  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of radon  = 222g/mol

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of radon  = Number of moles x molar mass

                              = 8.17 x 222

                              = 1813.74g

Hello,
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction

Explanation:

<em>Ferrous Sulphate</em>(FeSO4)<em> is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide </em>(SO_3)<em>, Sulphur Dioxide </em>(SO_2)<em>  as well as Ferric Oxide </em>(Fe_2O_3)<em>.</em>

<em>We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.</em>

<em>Hence,</em>

FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3

<em>Now,</em>

<em>a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of </em><em>steps</em><em>:</em>

<em>1. First, lets compare the number of  Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside </em>FeSO_4.

<em>2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:</em>

<em> Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :</em>

<em> </em>2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3

<em>b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds </em><em>decompose </em><em>into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate </em><em>decomposes </em><em>into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is </em><em>Decomposition Reaction.</em>

Write and balance the half-reaction for the oxidation of white phosphorous P4 to the phosphate ion PO3^−4 in a basic solution.
aalyn [17]

Since the half-reaction is occurring in a basic solution, add 32OH− to each side of the equation to eliminate the H+ ions.

P₄ +16H₂O + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 32H⁺ +32OH⁻

Final reaction :

P₄ + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 16H₂O + 20e⁻

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction.

The concept of half-reactions is used to describe what occurs in an electrochemical cell, such as a Galvanic cell battery. Half-reactions can be written to describe both the metal undergoing oxidation (known as the anode) and the metal undergoing reduction (known as the cathode).

Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions. For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will need to add H+ ions to balance the hydrogen ions in the half reaction.

For oxidation-reduction reactions in basic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, first treat it as an acidic solution and then add OH- ions to balance the H+ ions in the half reactions (which would give H2O).

How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of CH3FO?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

1 mole of a substance contains Avagadro’s number of particles,

i.e. 6.023*10^23

By unitary method,

5 moles of oxygen contains 5 times the Avagadro’s number of particles

i.e. 5* (6.023*10^23) = 3.0115*10^24 number of particles.

Now, the further answer depends on what particles the question concentrates on.

If number of atoms are asked , the above answer must be multiplied by 2, because oxygen is a diatomic gas and each atom contributes to be a particle.

therefore, 5 moles of oxygen has 6.023*10^24 atoms.

If number of molecules asked, the above answer is directly written...
