Explanation:

If soil consists of more acidic nature then, it does not allow plant growth.

In that situation, treat the soil with (anti-acid which is nothing but) base.

When an acid reacts with a base, a neutralization reaction takes place and salt and water are formed in this reaction.

The equation is shown below:

acid+base-> salt +water

For example, if the soil has more sulphuric acid traces then, it should be treated with lime.

$H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(aq)->CaSO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

How many grams of Sg is required to produce 83.10 g SF6? S: +24F-->8SF

ozzi

Answer : The mass of $S_8$ required is 18.238 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $SF_6$ = 83.10 g

Molar mass of $SF_6$ = 146 g/mole

Molar mass of $S_8$ = 256.52 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$S_8+24F_2\rightarrow 8SF_6$

First we have to determine the moles of $SF_6$ .

$\text{Moles of }SF_6=\frac{\text{Mass of }SF_6}{\text{Molar mass of }SF_6}=\frac{83.10g}{146g/mole}=0.569moles$

Now we have to determine the moles of $S_8$ .

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 8 moles of $SF_6$ produced from 1 mole of $S_8$

So, 0.569 moles of $SF_6$ produced from $\frac{0.569}{8}=0.0711$ mole of $S_8$

Now we have to determine the mass of $S_8$ .

$\text{Mass of }S_8=\text{Moles of }S_8\times \text{Molar mass of }S_8$

$\text{Mass of }S_8=(0.0711mole)\times (256.52g/mole)=18.238g$

Therefore, the mass of $S_8$ required is 18.238 grams.

The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called a(n)

Maksim231197 [3]

<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.
