If 11.87 grams of sand (SiO2) were contained in the mixture, how many atoms of oxygen were in the mixture?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ozzi2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2.38x10²³ atoms oxygen

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of sand to moles using its molar mass (Molar mass SiO₂ = 60.08g/mol). Twice these moles are the moles of Oxygen and using Avogadro's number we can find the amount of atoms of Oxygen in the mixture:

<em>Moles SiO₂:</em>

11.87g * (1mol / 60.08g) = 0.1976moles SiO₂

<em>Moles Oxygen:</em>

0.1976moles SiO₂* 2 = 0.3951moles oxygen

<em>Atoms oxygen:</em>

0.3951moles oxygen * (6.022x10²³atoms / 1mol O₂) =

<h3>2.38x10²³ atoms oxygen</h3>

Catalytic converters made of palladium (pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons
Doss [256]
Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.

If a decrease in temperature accompanies a reaction, what occurred?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Energy was released

Explanation:

Decrease in temperature means less energy, but the energy had to have been transferred because energy can't be destroyed or created. So if the temp. went down, energy must have been lost. (If it had been absorbed, the temp. would have gone up)
