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

In the winter, a heated home in the Northeast might be maintained at a temperature of 78°F. What is this temperature on the Cels

masya89 [10]

Answer: $25.6^0C$ , $298.6K$

Explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like $^0C$ and $K$

These units of temperature are inter convertible.

We are given:

Temperature of the gas = $78^0F$

Converting this unit of temperature into $^0C$ by using conversion factor:

$^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)$

$^0C=\frac{5}{9}\times (78^oF-32)$

$25.6^0C$

Converting this unit of temperature into $K$ by using conversion factor:

$K=t^0C+273$

$K=25.6+273$

$298.6K$

Thus the temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales are $25.6^0C$ and $298.6K$ respectively.

soldi70 [24.7K]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

The decomposition of NH4HS is endothermic: NH4HS(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g) Part A Which change to an equilibrium mixture of this reaction

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.

As the given reaction is as follows.

$NH_{4}HS(s) \rightleftharpoons NH_{3}(g) + H_{2}S(g)$

(a) When increase the temperature of the reactants or system then equilibrium will shift in forward direction where there is less temperature. It is possible for an endothermic reaction.

Thus, formation of $H_{2}S$ will increase.

(b) When we decrease the volume (at constant temperature) of given reaction mixture then it implies that there will be increase in pressure of the system. So, equilibrium will shift in a direction where there will be decrease in composition of gaseous phase. That is, in the backward direction reaction will shift.

Hence, formation of $H_{2}S$ will decrease with decrease in volume.

When we increase the mount of $NH_{4}HS$ then equilibrium will shift in the direction of decrease in concentration that is, in the forward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that formation of $H_{2}S$ will increase then.

Put the list in chronological order (1–5).

Leokris [45]

Explanation:

Filtration is a separation technique in which solid particles suspended in liquid medium are separated by allowing the mixture through the pores of the filter paper. By this solid particles get collect on filter paper and liquid drains out from the pores of the filter paper.

The chronological order for given steps will be:

Weigh and fold the filter paper.
Place the filter paper in the funnel, then place the funnel in the Erlenmeyer flask.
Allow the solid/liquid mixture to drain through the filter.
Use water to rinse the filter paper containing the mixture.
Weigh the dried filter paper and copper.
