Answer:

It's called a theory because it has not been proven yet. so we can not claim it to be a fact without proof.

Answer: There is no concrete evidence.

Explanation: If we could do an experiment and create the Big Bang and watch it happen and study it, it would be law. It's for the same reason that evolution is considered a theory. We are not watching it take place and there is no eye witness account of evolution happening because evolution happens over millions and millions of years. If we could sit here and watch the universe be created without need for simulations or theories, then it would be law.

In the following reaction, how many grams of NaBr will produce 244 grams of NaNO3? Pb(NO3)2(aq) 2 NaBr(aq) PbBr2(s) 2 NaNO3(aq)

lyudmila [28]

Answer : The mass of $NaBr$ is, 295.323 grams

Solution :

First we have to calculate the moles of $NaNO_3$ .

$\text{Moles of }NaNO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaNO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NaNO_3}=\frac{244g}{85g/mole}=2.87moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaBr.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaBr(aq)\rightarrow PbBr_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $NaNO_3$ react with 2 moles of $NaBr$

So, 2.87 moles of $NaNO_3$ react with 2.87 moles of $NaBr$

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaBr.

$\text{Mass of }NaBr=\text{Moles of }NaBr\times \text{Molar mass of }NaBr$

$\text{Mass of }NaBr=(2.87mole)\times (102.9g/mole)=295.323g$

Therefore, the mass mass of $NaBr$ is, 295.323 grams

Be sure to answer all parts.The combustion of a 40.0−g gaseous mixture of H2 and CH4 releases 3766 kJ of heat. Calculate the amo

Svetach [21]

Answer:H2=11.4g

CH4=28.6g

Explanation:The complete combustion of the two gases can be represented by a balanced reaction below

1. CH4 +2O2___CO2+2H2O

2.2H2+O2___2H2O

Combining the two we have CH4 +2H2+3O2___

CO2+4H2O

Since the mixture contains 40gof CH4 and 2, therefore 20g of CH4 and 8g of H2 combines.

Calculated from their molecular Mass i.e CH4 12+4×2)=20 and 2H2= 2×2×2=8g

Mass of CH4=20/28×40=28.6g

2H2=8/28×40=11.4g

. How many grams of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide? ____Cl

dlinn [17]

Answer: 190 g of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is;

$Cl_2+MgBr_2\rightarrow MgCl_2+Br_2$

$Cl_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $MgBr_2$ is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $Cl_2$ produces = 1 mole of $MgCl_2$

Thus 2 moles of $Cl_2$ will produce= $\frac{1}{1}\times 2=2moles$ of $MgCl_2$

Mass of $MgCl_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2moles\times 95g/mol=190g$

Thus 190 g of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide
