Answer:

Answer:

Potassium Nitride is composed of the greatest number of atoms.

Explanation:

find the number of atoms present in each compound we will write down their molecular formulas and then we will add up the number of atoms present in them.

A: Dinitrogen Monoxide:

Chemical formula of Dinitrogen Monoxide is N₂O. Therefore, it contains two atoms of Nitrogen and one atom of oxygen Hence, in total it contains 3 atoms.

B: Sodium Chloride:

Chemical formula of Sodium Chloride is NaCl. Therefore, it contains one atom of Sodium and one atom of Chlorine Hence, in total it contains 2 atoms.

C: Potassium Nitride:

Chemical formula of Dinitrogen Monoxide is K₃N. Therefore, it contains three atoms of Potassium and one atom of Nitrogen Hence, in total it contains 4 atoms.

D: Carbon Dioxide:

Chemical formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO₂. Therefore, it contains one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen Hence, in total it contains 3 atoms.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

$Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

This equation tells that ; when 1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

$Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

$1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}$

So,

$5\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 5\ mole\ H_{2}$

Hence moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

If we mix 25 grans if sodium oxide with a large amount of potassium chloride, how many grams of sodium chloride should be produc

amid [387]

Answer:

47.2 g

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of Sodium oxide (Na₂O) = 25 grams

mass of potassium chloride (KCl) = excess

amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) = ?

Solution:

First we look for reaction of sodium oxide with potassium chloride.

Na₂O + 2 KCl -----------> 2 NaCl + K₂O

As we know that potassium chloride is in excess amount and sodium oxide is 25 g so it means sodium oxide is a limiting reactant and amount of sodium chloride depends on the amount of sodium oxide.

So, now we will look for mole mole ration of Na₂O to NaCl.

Na₂O + 2 KCl -----------> 2 NaCl + K₂O

1 mol 2 mol

from above equation we come to know that 1 mole of Na₂O gives 2 moles of NaCl.

Now convert moles to mass

As we Know

Molar mass of Na₂O = 2(23) + 16 = 62 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Na₂O + 2 KCl -----------> 2 NaCl + K₂O

1 mol (62 g/mol) 2 mol (58.5 g/mol)

62 g 117 g

So, it means that 62 g of Na₂O produce 117 g of NaCl then how many grams of NaCl will be produce by 25 g of Na₂O

Apply unity formula

62 g of Na₂O ≅ 117 g of NaCl

25 g of Na₂O ≅ X g of NaCl

Do cross multiplication

X g of NaCl = 117 g x 25 g / 62 g

X g of NaCl = 47.2 g

So,

25 g of Na₂O gives 47.2 grams of NaCl.

How many moles are in 25 grams of dihydrogen monoxide

timurjin [86]

If you'd like the full working, here it is:

I calculated this by using the formula triangle.

Mass

Number Formula
Of moles Mass

To calculate the number if moles in a substance, you need to divide the Mass by the Formula mass. You get the formula mass by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the compound together. In this situation, H2O, it would be two hydrogen molecules plus one oxygen molecule which is 2 + 16. This is because the atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1 and the atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.

Now that we have the Formula mass we can go ahead and do the calculation since we already have the Mass. You do as follows:

Mass divided by Formula mass which is in this case - 25 divided by 18

By doing this calculation you will get the answer which is 1.38 moles which can be rounded to 1.4

Hope this helps :)
