Answer:

A. Students made a measurement error, because ending with more products is impossible.

Explanation:

The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction. If there is excess mass in the product, the students have made an error of some kind.

From his experiments ,j.j Thomson concludes what?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Thomson made the following conclusions: The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles. The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ∼ 20001start fraction, 1, divided by, 2000, end fraction the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Write the structure of the ionized form of phenylalanine

Licemer1 [7]

Amino Acids undergo a kind of acid base reaction within a molecule. The Amino group acts as a base and accepts proton from Carboxylic functional group resulting in formation of Ammonium with positive charge and a negative charge on Carboxylate. Such molecules containing both positive and negative charges are called as Zwittor Ions. Phenylalanine both in Un-ionized and Ionized form is shown below,

Given: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O In this chemical reaction, how many moles of Na2O will be produced if 2.90 moles of Na react completely?

crimeas [40]

Since we already have the balanced equation, we know that the ratio between $Na:Na_{2}O$ is $4:2$ respectively.

So then we can set up a proportion to find the number of moles produced when 2.90 moles of Na react completely:

$\frac{4mol_{Na}}{2mol_{Na_{2}O}} =\frac{2.90mol_{Na}}{xmol_{Na_{2}O}}$

Then we cross multiply and solve for x:

$4x=5.8$

$x=1.45$

Therefore, we know that when 2.90 moles of Na react completely, there are 1.45 moles of $Na_{2}O$ that are produced.

Why do we use 51.0mL of NaOH but only 50.0mL of HCl?

bixtya [17]

Answer

Na OH reacts with H Cl and forms Na Cl and H₂O

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Here we can see that 1 mole of NaOH reacting with 1 mole of HCl and forming 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H₂O

when NaOH and HCl are added together in equal amount then they will completely neutralize each other but NaOH is hygroscopic in nature which means it can absorb water from air so it will not be weighted accurately.

hence, for neutralization we will take extra NaOH.
