Answer:

1.09 moles of NaOH

Explanation:

First of all, to calculate moles, you need to find the molar mass of NaOH.

Let us first find the molar mass of NaOH then.

Na = 23.0 amu

O = 16.0

H = 1.0

They are 1 nitrogen atom, 1 oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom.

So do this.

23.0(1) + 16.0(1) + 1.0(1) = 40 g/mol.

Now use dimensional analysis to show your work

43.5 g of NaOH * 1 mol of NaOH / 40 g/mol of NaOH

The grams cancel out.

43.5 / 40.0 = 1.0875

Use sig figs and round the answer to the nearest hundredths place.

1.0875 = 1.09

So the final answer is 1.09 moles of NaOH

Hope it helped!

<span>We are given the initial amount of 1 million carbon-14 atoms and the final amount which is 1/16 of the current atmospheric 14C levels. Also, the half life of carbon is </span>5,750 years. WE can use the decay formula

Aₓ = A₀e^-(ln2/t1/2)t
1,000,000(1/16) = (1,000,000)e^-(ln2/5750)t
t = 23,000 years

A solution was prepared by dissolving 2.2 g of an unknown solute in 16.7 g of CCl4. A thermal analysis was performed for this so

laila [671]

Answer:

Molar mass of unknown solute is 679 g/mol

Explanation:

Let us assume that the solute is a non-electrolyte.

For a solution with non-electrolyte solute remains dissolved in it -

Depression in freezing point of solution, $\Delta T_{f}=K_{f}.m$

where, m is molality of solute in solution and $K_{f}$ is cryogenoscopic constant of solvent.

Here $\Delta T_{f}=(-22.9^{0}\textrm{C})-(-28.7^{0}\textrm{C})=5.8^{0}\textrm{C}$

If molar mass of unknown solute is M g/mol then-

$m=\frac{\frac{2.2}{M}}{0.0167}mol/kg$

So, $5.8^{0}\textrm{C}=29.9^{0}\textrm{C}/(mol/kg)\times \frac{\frac{2.2g}{M}}{0.0167}mol/kg$

so, M = 679 g/mol

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)

bixtya [17]

Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
