Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Use bags that are not of plastic and that we can reuse.

Explanation:

To reduce the number of petroleum, people should use everyday things that do not have plastic in their composition. For example, drink water from a flask made of iron, take your mug to the coffee store or use cloth bags. These elements are not disposable, and we can use them multiple times, which leads to a reduction in the consumption of plastic products and the amount of petroleum needed for their production.

How many molecules of oxygen are produced when a sample of 38.9 g of water is decomposed by electricity?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A) $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 38.9

M = Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

The reaction of electrolysis would be

$2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Number of moles of $H_2O$

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{38.9}{18}\ \text{mol}$

From the reaction it can be seen that 2 moles of $H_2O$ gives 1 mole of $O_2$

So, number of moles of $O_2$ produced is

$\dfrac{38.9}{18}\times \dfrac{1}{2}=1.081\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules

$1.081N_A=1.081\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\ =6.5\times 10^{23}$

So, $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$ of oxygen is produced.

6. Identify the number of neutrons in one atom of silicon with an isotopic mass number of 28 amu.

Sholpan [36]

Explanation:

The number of neutrons in one atom of silicon with an isotopic mass number of 28amu is 14.

An atom is made up three fundamental sub-atomic particles which are:

Protons, neutron and electrons

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are the negatively charged particles.

In the nucleus of an atom, both protons and neutrons can be found. They are the massive particle in an atom.

The mass number of an atom = number of protons + number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons.

From the periodic table, we know that silicon has an atomic number of 14.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom:

Number of neutrons = 28 - 14 = 14amu

In the atom, we will have 14amu of neutrons in a silicon atom.

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)

bixtya [17]

Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
