4.2g of cerium reacted with oxygen to form 5.16g of an oxide of cerium. Find

Answer:

CeO₂

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the mass of both cerium and the cerium oxide, we can first compute the moles of cerium and the moles of oxygen as shown below:

n_{Ce}=4.2gCe*\frac{1molCe}{140.12gCe}=0.03molCe\\

m_O=5.16g-4.2g=0.96gO\\\\n_O=0.96g*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO} =0.06molO

Now, we simply divide each moles by 0.03 as the fewest moles in the formula to obtain the simplest formula (empirical formula) of this oxide:

Ce=\frac{0.03}{0.03}=1\\\\O =\frac{0.06}{0.03}=2

Thus, the formula turns out:

CeO_2

Regards!

A certain first-order reaction (a→products) has a rate constant of 9.60×10−3 s−1 at 45 ∘c. how many minutes does it take for the
Alexxandr [17]

The integrated rate law expression for a first order reaction is

ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt

where

[A0]=100

[At]=6.25

[6.25% of 100 = 6.25]

k = 9.60X10⁻³s⁻¹

Putting values

ln\frac{100}{6.25}=9.6X10^{-3}t

taking log of 100/6.25

100/6.25 = 16

ln(16) = 2.7726

Time = 2.7726 / 0.0096 = 288.81  seconds

4300 m above sea level what is the boiling point
Olenka [21]
4300 meters = approximately 14107.61 feet. 

Boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level.

(Each 500 feet increase in elevation will be lowered by approximately 1 degrees Fahrenheit)

14107.61 feet divided by 500 feet = <span>28.21522

So the boiling point would be lowered by about 28 degrees Fahrenheit at 4300 meters above sea level. Which will make your new boiling point 184 degrees Fahrenheit instead of 212. 

184 degrees Fahrenheit = 84.4 degrees Celcius</span>

Why do atoms always contain the same number of electrons and protons?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and a proton is a positively charged subatomic particle. Positive charge(s) attract negative charge(s) and vice versa. The proton and neutron stay together and attract one another to give the atom an overall charge of zero (neutral). Which is the charge of an atom. When there is an unequal number of protons and neutrons an ion is formed. If the number of protons are more than the electron, a positively charged ion called cation is formed. On the other hand, if the number of electrons are more than the protons a negatively charged ion called anion is formed.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

<h2>ATP, RNA, NAD and DNA.</h2>

Explanation:

A nitrogenous base; it is an organic molecule containing a nitrogen, carbon and other atoms that has the chemical properties of a base that is why they are called as bases. The nitrogenous bases are;  i) adenine, ii) guanine, iii) thymine, iv)  uracil  and v)cytosine.

Adenine is a nitrogenous base which is found in ATP, RNA. NAD, FAD and DNA. adenine pairs with thymine in DNA synthesis.
