Answer:

The zebra mussel is a fresh and brackish water bivalve mollusk. It feeds on plankton and suspended organic matter. It is listed 100 most damaging invasive alien species in the world of the International Union for Conservation of Nature

Zebra mussels are an invasive, fingernail-sized mollusk that is native to fresh waters in Eurasia. Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell. Zebra mussels probably arrived in the Great Lakes in the 1980s via ballast water that was discharged by large ships from Europe

What are properties of carbon

nirvana33 [79]

The physical and chemical properties of carbon depend on the crystalline structure of the element. Its density fluctuates from 2.25 g/cm³ (1.30 ounces/in³) for graphite and 3.51 g/cm³ (2.03 ounces/in³) for diamond. The melting point of graphite is 3500ºC (6332ºF) and the extrapolated boiling point is 4830ºC (8726ºF).

2. Answer the following questions about a sample of calcium phosphate:

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) 310.18 g/mol

b) 4.352 moles Ca3(PO4)2

c) 2.6 * 10^24 molecules

d) 5.24 * 10^24 P atoms

e)13.056 moles Ca

f)10825.3 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of Ca = 40.08 g/mol

Atomic mass of P = 30.97 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molecular weight of Ca3(PO4)2

Molecular weight of Ca3(PO4)2 = 3*atomic mass of Ca + 2* atomic mass of P and 8* atomic mass of O

Molecular weight of Ca3(PO4)2 = 3*40.08 + 2*30.97 + 8*16.0 = 310.18 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate moles of Ca3(PO4)2 in 1350 grams

Moles Ca3(PO4)2 = mass Ca3(PO4)2 /molar mass

Moles Ca3(PO4)2 = 1350 grams / 310.18 g/mol

Moles Ca3(PO4)2 = 4.352 moles

Step 4: Calculate molecules in 1350 grams

Molecules = moles * number of Avogadro

Molecules = 4.352 moles * 6.02 * 10^23

Molecules = 2.6 *10^24 molecules

Step 5: Calculate moles Phosphorus

For 1 mol Ca3(PO4)2 we need 2 moles P

For 4.352 moles Ca3(PO4)2 we have 2*4.352 = 8.704 moles

Step 6: Calculate P atoms

Atoms P = 8.704 moles * 6.02*10^23

Atoms P = 5.24 * 10^24 P atoms

Step 7: Calculate moles Calcium in 1350 grams

For 1 mol Ca3(PO4)2 we have 3 moles Ca

For 4.352 moles we have 3*4.352 = 13.056 moles Ca

Step 8: Calculate mass of 2.1 * 10^25 molecules of Ca3(PO4)2

Moles Ca3(PO4)2 = 2.1 * 10^25 / 6.02 * 10^23

Moles Ca3(PO4)2 = 34.9 moles

Mass Ca3(PO4)2 = 34.9 moles * 310.18 g/mol

Mass Ca3(PO4)2 = 10825.3 grams
