Answer: The law of conservation of mass is reffering to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed. So when you speak about atoms not being created or destroyed it is the same thing. Unless you're talking about an atomic bomb where the atoms are split.

A flash contains 85.6g of C7H5NO3S (Saccharine) in 2.00 litre of a solution. What is the molarity?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

0.234 M

Explanation:

C- 12.009 x 7

H- 1.001 x 5

N- 14.006

O- 16 x 3

S- 32.059

___________+

183.133 g/mol

\frac{1mol}{183.133g} *\frac{85.6g}{2.00L}  = 0.234 M Cancel out the grams mol/L equals molarity. Lowest significant figure is 3

6 C(s) + 3 H2(g) → 2 C6H6(l) Δ H = 49 kJ<br><br> TRUE or FALSE
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

True => ΔH°f for C₆H₆ = 49 Kj/mole

Explanation:

See Thermodynamic Properties Table in appendix of most college level general chemistry texts. The values shown are for the standard heat of formation of substances at 25°C. The Standard Heat of Formation of a substance - by definition - is the amount of heat energy gained or lost on formation of the substance from its basic elements in their standard state. C₆H₆(l) is formed from Carbon and Hydrogen in their basic standard states. All elements in their basic standard states have ΔH°f values equal to zero Kj/mole.

Read the given equation. 2Na + 2H2O ? 2NaOH + H2 During a laboratory experiment, a certain quantity of sodium metal reacted with
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The number of moles of Na metal that used initially = 0.70 mol.

The quantity of Na metal used initially to produce 7.80 of H₂ gas = 16.02 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometry problem.

<em>2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂,</em>

  • The balanced equation shows that <em>2.0 moles of Na metal </em>react with 2.0 moles of water to produce 2.0 moles of NaOH and <em>1.0 mole of H₂</em>,
  • Firstly, we need to convert the volume of H₂ (7.80 L) produced to no. of moles (n) using the ideal gas law: <em>PV = nRT</em>,

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm<em> (P at STP = 1.0 atm)</em>,

V is the volume of the gas in L <em>(V = 7.80 L)</em>,

n is the number of moles in mole,

R is the general gas constant<em> (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol)</em>,

T is the temperature of the gas in K <em>(T at STP = 0.0 °C + 273 = 273.0 K)</em>.

∴ The number of moles of H₂ gas (n) = PV / RT = [(1.0 atm)(7.80 L)] / [(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(273.0 K)] = 0.35 mol.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

2.0 moles of Na will produce → 1.0 mole of H₂, from the stichiometrey.

??? moles of Na will produce → 0.35 mole of H₂.

∴ The number of moles of Na metal that used initially = (2.0 mol)(0.35 mol) / (1.0 mol) = 0.70 mol.

Now, we can get the quantity of Na metal using the relation:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.70 mol)(22.989 g/mol) = 16.02 g.
