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

Chemistry

statuscvo [17]3 years ago
8 0

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.

For work to be done on an object:
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The object has to move a distance when a force is applied to it

Explanation:

For work to be done on a body the force applied must move the body through a particular distance.

  Work done  = Force x distance  

If no distance is moved by the force, no work is done.

Also, the angle between the force and the distance must be 0 to do the maximum work on the body.

Moles of phosphorous in 15-35-15 fertilizer in 10g
guapka [62]

<span>The composition of a fertilizer is usually express in NPK number. NPK number is in terms of Percent by mass of the said element which are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. A 15-35-15 fertilizer has 15% Nitrogen, 35% Phosphorous, and 15% Potassium by mass. If you have 10 g of this fertilizer, to get the number of moles of phosphorus, you multiply the mass by 35%, which is equal to 10*0.35 or 3.5 g phosphorus. Then you divide the calculated mass of phosphorous by its molar mass which is 30.97 g/mol. Therefore, you have 3.5/30.97 which is equal to 0.1130 mol Phosphorus. This is the amount of Phosphorus in moles in the fertilizer.</span>
