Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.
Justification:
1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).
2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.
3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Celsius and Kelvin scales are used to measure the temperature of matter. Their scales and unit differences are the same (1 K increase = 1 °C increase), but they have different starting points.
So, the conversion is quite simple and only requires addition because of the different starting points. The formula is:
The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -195.8 °C. We can substitute this value into the formula.
The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77.35 Kelvin.
Answer:
Because of the revolution of the moon about the earth.
Explanation:
The moon is the natural satellite of the earth; which rotates about its axes and orbits around the earth. As the moon orbits the earth with respect to time, it would complete a revolution in 27.3 days.
During revolution, different phases of the moon can be observed by someone on the earth. This is due to its location at different time during the process. Therefore, Jorge was able to see different phases of the moon because of its revolution about the earth.
Answer:
B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.
Explanation:
The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.
As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.
Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.
- A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.
