Chemistry
1 answer:
vekshin12 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3.03 x 10²³ formula units

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 48.0 grams of magnesium chloride into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 48.0 g ÷ 95.21 g/mol = 0.504 mol MgCl₂

Then we <u>convert 0.504 moles into formula units</u>, using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:

  • 0.504 mol * 6.023x10²³ formula units/mol = 3.03x10²³ formula units

To gain an idea as to how many atoms are in a gram or so of copper, use the larger balance
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must understand the relationship between mass of a substance and the number of atoms.

Atoms are the smallest indivisible particles of any matter. A substance can be made up of several number of atoms in their space.

The mass of any substance is a function of the amount of atoms its contains.

The mass of a substance is related in chemistry to the amount of atoms its contains using the parameter called the number of moles.

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles. This number is 6.02  x 10²³ particles. The particles here can be protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms e.t.c.

Now,

             Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

          Molar mass of copper  = 63.6g/mole

         Number of moles  = \frac{2}{63.6}  = 0.03mole

Since 1 mole of a substance contains  6.02  x 10²³atoms

        0.03 mole of copper will contain 0.03 x  6.02  x 10²³atoms

                                                    = 1.89 x 10²² atoms

He needs to add 1.89 x 10²² atoms to make 2g of the sample.

Oxygen and hydrogen are kept under the same temperature and pressure. Oxygen molecule is 16 times more massive than hydrogen one
lozanna [386]

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a substance then there will occur an increase in the kinetic energy of its molecules.

Also,      K.E = \frac{3}{2}kT

So, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature.

Hence, when temperature and pressure are kept the same for both oxygen and hydrogen gas then values of their kinetic energy will be the same irrespective of their masses.

Thus, we can conclude that kinetic energy of oxygen molecule is the same as compared to hydrogen molecule.

How many grams of sodium sulfide can be produced when 45.3 g Na react with 105 g S?
erastova [34]
Balance the equation: 2Na + S --> Na2S
Using the given amount of the reactants in the reaction, calculate the amount of the product:
45.3g Na x (1 mol/22.99 g)= 1.97 mol of Na
105f S x (1 mol/ 32.06g) = 3.28 mol of S
The limiting reactant would be Na:
<span>1.97 mol Na x (1 mol Na2S/ 2 mol Na) x (78.04g/mol) = 76.87g of Na2S produced</span>

A sample of chromium oxide is 76.5hromium by weight. what is the simplest formula of the oxide?
otez555 [7]

CrO and Cr₂O₃ make up the simplest chromium oxide formula.

What name does Cr₂O₃ use?

  • Chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃)sometimes referred to as chromium sesquioxide or chromic oxide, is a compound in which chromium is oxidized to a +3 state. Sodium dichromate is calcined with either carbon or sulfur to produce it.
  • Eskolaite, a mineral that bears the name of the Finnish geologist Pentti Eskola, is a kind of chromium oxide green that may be found in nature. The metallic glassy green surface of this unusual material has an unsettling moss-like look that may be used to conceal oneself in the environment.
  • Studies on humans have conclusively shown that chromium (VI) breathed is a potential carcinogen, increasing the likelihood of developing lung cancer. According to animal studies, chromium (VI) exposure by inhalation can result in lung cancers.
