Explanation:

Let the mass of the compound be 100g.

Mass of Sulfur = 96g.

=> Moles of Sulfur

= 96g / (32.07g/mol) ≈ 3

Mass of Hydrogen = 4g.

=> Moles of Hydrogen

= 4g / (1.008g/mol) ≈ 4

Mole ratio of Sulfur to Hydrogen = 3 : 4,

Empirical formula of compound = S3H4.

Convert 7.60 x1021 molecules of CO to Liters.

Sergio [31]

you are given the number of moles, from the given formula you can get the molar mass which is 12.00g/mol + 16 g/mol =28 g/mol. using the formula n=m/Mr rearrange the formula and make m subject, you thn have m=nMr therefore 7.60x 1021 mol x 28g/mol= m

m = 217268.8 g, you will notice that mol cancel out each other leaving you with g.

now convert g to litres

1 litre is equal to 1000 grams therefore

217268.8g x 1l/1000g = 217,269 litres

Answer:

When you are in a cool place and exhale into your mask, the mask blocks and re-directs some of your breath up toward the top edge of the mask and under your glasses. ... When the warm breath hits the cool lens, the water in the breath condenses causing your lenses to fog up.

Answer:

8.61 mL of the HCl solution

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

2HCl + Mg(OH)₂ → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

From the given mass of Mg(OH)₂, we can calculate <u>the moles of HCl that are neutralized</u>:

4x10² mg = 400 mg = 0.400g

0.400g Mg(OH)₂ ÷ 58.32g/1mol = 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂

6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂ * $\frac{1molHCl}{1molMg(OH)_{2}} =$ 3.429x10⁻³ mol HCl

Finally, to calculate the volume of an HCl solution, we need both the moles and the concentration. We can <u>calculate the concentration using the pH value</u>:

pH = -log[H⁺]

1.4 = -log[H⁺]

$10^{-1.4}$ = [H⁺]

0.0398 M = [H⁺] = [HCl] *Because HCl is a strong acid*

Thus, the volume is:

0.0398 M = 3.429x10⁻³mol HCl / Volume

Volume = 8.616x10⁻³ L = 8.62 mL

All atoms of a given element have the same number of____

maksim [4K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Protons

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
All atoms of the same element are similar in that they have the same number of protons.
Atoms of the same elements may have a different number of electrons or neutrons but will always have the same number of protons.
Atoms of the same elements with a different number of neutrons are known as isotopes.
When neutral atoms gain or lose electron(s) they form charged atoms known as ions.
