Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, but the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products to be a balanced equation.

Example: Consider the following reaction ...

3H₂ + N₂ => 2NH₃ and 'amu' is atomic mass units (formula weights from periodic table)

In terms of molecules, there are 4 molecules on the left (3 molecular hydrogens (H₂) and 1 molecular nitrogen (N₂) and 2 molecules of ammonia on the right side of equation arrow. ∑reactant molecules ≠ ∑product molecules.

In terms of mass of reactants & mass of products, the 3H₂ + N₂ => 6amu + 28amu = 34amu & mass of products (2NH₃) => 2(14amu) + 6(1amu) = 34amu for sum of product masses.

∑mass reactants = ∑mass products <=> 34amu = 34amu.

The expression '∑mass reactants = ∑mass products' as applied to chemical equations is generally known as 'The Law of Mass Balance'.

Please help me for question 1 and 2
likoan [24]

Answer:-

1) 6 mol

2) Mo

Explanation: -

Mass of Ozone = 48 g

Chemical formula of ozone = O3

Molar mass of Ozone O 3 = 16 x 3 = 48 g mol-1

Number of moles of ozone = Mass / molar mass

= 48 g / 48 g mol-1

= 1 mol

According to Avogadro’s law, 1 mole of a substance has 6.02 x 10^ 22 molecules.

So 1 mol of O3 has 6.02 x 10^ 22 molecules of ozone.

Now each Ozone molecule has 3 atoms of oxygen.

So, 1 mol of ozone has 3 x 6.02 x 10^22 atoms of oxygen.

Sodium must have 2 x 3 x 6.02 x 10^22 atoms as per the question.

According to Avogadro’s law, 6.02 x 10^ 22 atoms are in 1 mol of sodium

So, for 2 x 3 x 6.02 x 10^22 atoms, there should be (1/ 6.02 x 10^ 22) x 2 x 3 x 6.02 x 10^22

= 6 mol of sodium.

b)

Let the mass of M be m g

Formula of hexafluoride = MF6.

Mass of the hexafluoride = g + 6 x 19

= m + 114

Mass of M=0.250g

Moles of M = 0.250/m

Mass of MF6= 0.547g

Moles of MF6 = 0.547/ (m + 114)

We know 1 mole of M gives 1 mole of MF6.

0.250/m moles of M gives 0.250/m moles of MF6.

But number of moles of MF6 = 0.547/ (m + 114)

Thus

0.250/m = (0.547)/ (m +114))

0.250m + 0.250 x 114 = 0.547m

m = 0.250 x 114 / (0.547 -0.250)

= 96

We see from the given data that Mo is 96.

So M is Mo.

How does a solid move?how do we describe its energy and movement?
masya89 [10]
All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms, molecules and ions; the tiny particles in solids are tightly packed and can only vibrate. The particles in liquids also vibrate but are able to move around by rolling over each other and sliding around. In gases, the particles move freely with rapid, random motion.
