How many grams of water are needed to form 21.8 grams of oxygen gas?

Chemistry

GaryK [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

24.5g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen gas = 21.8g

Unknown:

Mass of water  = ?

Solution:

This problem deals with the decomposition of water;

    Reaction equation;

                  2H₂O →  2H₂  +  O₂

2 mole of water will produce 1 mole of oxygen gas

First find the number of mole of the oxygen gas given;

          Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

    molar mass of O₂   = 2(16) = 32g/mol

 

  Number of moles of O₂  = \frac{21.8}{32}   = 0.68moles

 

    1 mole of oxygen gas will be produced from 2 mole of water

     0.68moles of oxygen gas will be produce from  0.68 x 2 moles of water;   = 1.36moles of water

Mass of water = number of moles x molar mass

  Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16  = 18g/mol

Mass of water  = 1.36 x 18  = 24.5g

A reaction is exothermic when Group of answer choices weak bonds break and strong bonds form. strong bonds break and weak bonds
Leona [35]

Answer:

weak bonds break and strong bonds form

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat energy is evolved during the reaction process.

Bond formation requires energy while bond breakage releases energy. More energy is needed for the formation of weak bonds as compared to strong bonds.

<em>Hence, when weak bonds break, they release more energy than needed to make a corresponding strong bond leading to the release of the remaining energy as heat.</em>

Has anyone ever done this atom escape room thing
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

1.  negative

2.  positive

3.  neutral

Explanation:

Ok so it looks like they are asking for the charge (positive, negative, or neutral) of each thing

So for 1, it would be negative, because it's pointing to an electron.  Electrons always have a negative charge.

So for 2, it would be positive, because it's pointing to a proton.  Protons always have a positive charge

So for 3, it would be neutral, because it's pointing to a neutron.  Neutrons always have a neutral charge.
