Answer:
The equation: (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 2NH4(+) + SO4(-2)
The number of moles = 5 g / 132.14 g/mol = 0.038 mol
The number of molecules = 0.038 X 6.022x10^23 = 2.29x10^23
the number of positive ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution:
2 positive ions for every 1 molecule of (NH₄)₂SO₄
so 2 x 2.29x10^23 = 4.58x10^23
the number of negative ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution
1 negative ion for every 1 molecule of (NH₄)₂SO₄
so 1 x 2.29x10^23 = 2.29x10^23
the total number of ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution
4.58x10^23 + 2.29x10^23 = 6.87x10^23
C
Decomposition is of this form: A becomes B+C ... so after the reaction, the element A DECOMPOSES into two smaller elements, B and C.
Synthesis is the opposite: B+C becomes A AFTER THE REACTION.
Hope that helps :))
Answer: The answer to the first one is the second option and the answer for the second one is the first option.
Explanation:
Remember that:
number of moles = mass/molar mass
First, we get the molar mass of the nitrogen gas molecule:
It is known the the nitrogen gas is composed of two nitrogen atoms, each with molar mass 14 gm (from the periodic table)
Therefore, molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 x 2 = 28 gm
Second we calculate the mass of the precipitate:
we have number of moles = 0.03 moles (given)
and molar mass = 28 gm (calculated)
Using the equation mentioned before,
mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.03 x 28 = 0.84 gm
