Answer:

= 7.66 x 10²¹ oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of CaSO₄·2H₂O

Explanation:

For problems like this posting, one needs an understanding of the following topics:

The definition of the mole

1 mole of substance = mass in grams of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number ( = 6.023 x 10²³ ) of particles of the specified substance. This is generally one formula weight of the substance of interest. From this, the following equivalent relationships should be memorized:

1 mole = 1 formula weight = 1 mole weight (g)= 6.023 x 10²³ particles

Converting grams to moles:

Given grams => moles = grams/gram formula wt

Converting moles to grams:

Given moles => grams = moles x gram formula wt

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO₄ · 2H₂O.

Given mass CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 0.364 grams

Formula Wt CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 172 g/mole

moles CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = mass CaSO4 · 2H2O / formula Wt. CaSO₄ · 2H₂O

= 0.364 g CaSO₄·2H₂O / 172 g CaSO4·2H2O

= (0.364/172) mole CaSO₄·2H₂O

= 2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄·2H₂O

∴ number of Oxy (O) atoms in 0.364 grams CaSO₄·2H₂O

= (2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄ · 2H₂O)(6.023 x 10²³ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O/ mole)

= 1.276876 x 10²¹molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O CaSO₄2H₂O

= 1.276876 x 10²¹ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O x 6 oxygen atoms / molecule

= 7.661256 x 10²¹ oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of CaSO₄·2H₂O

= 7.66 x 10²¹ oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of CaSO₄·2H₂O

Which equation best represents the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of potassium phosphate

laiz [17]

Answer:

2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

In a net ionic equation you list only the ions that are participating in the reaction.

When potassium phosphate, K₃PO₄, reacts with iron (II) nitrate, Fe(NO₃)₂ producing iron (II) phosphate, Fe₃(PO₄)₂ that is an insoluble salt. The reaction is:

2K₃PO₄ + 3 Fe(NO₃)₂ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

The ionic equation is:

6K⁺ + 2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ + 6NO₃⁻→ Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

Subtracting the K⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions that are not participating in the reaction, the net ionic equation is:

What evidence do you see that a chemical reaction is taking place when you add hydrogen peroxide to potassium ioxide??

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Bubbling/Foaming

Heat is produced

Explanation:

A chemical reaction has occurred if

1. There is a change in colour

2. Formation of a precipitate

3. Formation of a gas

4. Change in temperature

5. Change of smell

In the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide, the solution quickly rises which shows the formation of gas. This means it is a chemical reaction.

The beaker/test tube/whatever you used should also become warm because it is an exothermic reaction. This means its a chemical reaction

Will mark brilliant pls help question is above

Degger [83]

Answer:

a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.

b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.
