It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath. Along with the turning of the Earth, this movement of air creates winds.

A mixture of NaBrO 3 , NaBrO3, NaHCO 3 , NaHCO3, Na 2 CO 3 , Na2CO3, and NaBr NaBr was heated, producing H 2 O , H2O, CO 2 , CO2

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Composition of initial mixture is:

9.02g of NaBrO₃

15.84g of Na₂CO₃

17.06g of NaHCO₃

82.58g NaBr

Explanation:

For the reactions:

2NaBrO₃(s) ⟶ 2NaBr(s) + 3O₂(g)

2NaHCO₃(s) ⟶ Na₂O(s) + H₂O(g) + 2CO₂(g)

Na₂CO₃(s) ⟶ Na₂O(s)+CO₂(g)

All H₂O(g) comes from NaHCO₃. Thus, initial moles and mass of NaHCO₃ are:

1.83g H₂O ₓ (1 mol H₂O / 18.02g) ₓ (2 mol NaHCO₃ / 1 mol H₂O) = 0.203moles NaHCO₃ ₓ (84g / 1mol NaHCO₃) =

17.06g of NaHCO₃

CO₂ comes from NaHCO₃ and Na₂CO₃.

15.51g of CO₂ are:

15.51g CO₂ ₓ (1mol / 44.01g) = 0.352moles of CO₂

As 2 moles of NaHCO₃ produce 2 moles of CO₂, moles of CO₂ that comes from NaHCO₃ are 0.203moles NaHCO₃. Moles of CO₂ that comes from Na₂CO₃ are:

0.352mol CO₂ - 0.203mol CO₂ = 0.149mol CO₂

These moles of CO₂ are produced from:

0.149mol CO₂ ₓ (1 mol Na₂CO₃ / 1 mol CO₂) ₓ (106g / 1mol Na₂CO₃) =

15.84g of Na₂CO₃

And all O₂ comes from NaBrO₃. Initial mass of NaBrO₃ is:

2.87g O₂ ₓ (1 mol O₂ / 32g) ₓ (2 mol NaBrO₃ / 3 mol O₂) ₓ (150.9g / 1mol NaBrO₃) =

9.02g of NaBrO₃

If initial mass of the mixture was 124.5g, mass of NaBr was:

124.5g - 9.02g of NaBrO₃ - 15.84g of Na₂CO₃ - 17.06g of NaHCO₃ =

82.58g NaBr

Composition of initial mixture is:

9.02g of NaBrO₃

15.84g of Na₂CO₃

17.06g of NaHCO₃

82.58g NaBr

Find the mass of 3.27 x 10^23 molecules of H2SO4. Use 3 significant digits and put the units.

marta [7]

Answer:

Approximately $53.3\; \rm g$ .

Explanation:

Lookup Avogadro's Number: $N_{\rm A} = 6.02\times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}$ (three significant figures.)

Lookup the relative atomic mass of $\rm H$ , $\rm S$ , and $\rm O$ on a modern periodic table:

$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm S$ : $32.06$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .

(For example, the relative atomic mass of $\rm H$ is $1.008$ means that the mass of one mole of $\rm H\!$ atoms would be approximately $1.008\!$ grams on average.)

The question counted the number of $\rm H_2SO_4$ molecules without using any unit. Avogadro's Number $N_{\rm A}$ helps convert the unit of that count to moles.

Each mole of $\rm H_2SO_4$ molecules includes exactly $(1\; {\rm mol} \times N_\text{A}) \approx 6.02\times 10^{23}$ of these $\rm H_2SO_4 \!$ molecules.

$3.27 \times 10^{23}$ $\rm H_2SO_4$ molecules would correspond to $\displaystyle n = \frac{N}{N_{\rm A}} \approx \frac{3.27 \times 10^{23}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}} \approx 0.541389\; \rm mol$ of such molecules.

(Keep more significant figures than required during intermediary steps.)

The formula mass of $\rm H_2SO_4$ gives the mass of each mole of $\rm H_2SO_4\!$ molecules. The value of the formula mass could be calculated using the relative atomic mass of each element:

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm H_2SO_4}) \\ &= (2 \times 1.008 + 32.06 + 4 \times 15.999)\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} \\ &= 98.702\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the mass of approximately $0.541389\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ :

$\begin{aligned}m &= n \cdot M \\ &\approx 0.541389\; \rm mol \times 98.702\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\\ &\approx 53.3\; \rm g\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to three significant figures.)
