Answer:

M = 20.5 g/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 1.20 L

Mass of gas = 1.10 g

Temperature and pressure = standard

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the density.

Formula:

d = mass/ volume

d = 1.10 g/ 1.20 L

d = 0.92 g/L

Now we will calculate the molar mass.

d = PM/RT

0.92 g/L = 1 atm × M / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273.15 K

M = 0.92 g/L × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273.15 K / 1 atm

M = 20.5 g/mol

What is the volume of a 5M solution with that has 16.5 moles?

kenny6666 [7]

Molarity can be used to calculate the volume of solvent or the amount of solute. The relationship between two solutions with the same amount of moles of solute can be represented by the formula c1V1 = c2V2, where c is concentration and V is volume.

Which is the smallest particle into which water (H2O) in a glass can be broken down and still remain water? A. a water molecule

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:-

A. A water molecule

Explanation:-

A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.

Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.

Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.

Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and $CaCl_{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

PART 1:

Atomic number of sodium is 11.
Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become $Na^{1+}$ which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
The symbol for the sodium ion is $Na^{+}$ .
Chlorine atom ( $Cl$ , Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be isoelectronic to neon.
The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
PART 2:
Atomic number of calcium is 20
Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become $Ca^{2+}$ which is isoelectronic to argon.
The symbol for the ion is $Ca^{2+}.$
Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
The symbol for the compound formed is $CaCl_{2}$ .

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}$

Explanation:

$2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}$

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
