Answer:

2.2 x 10²² molecules.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles in (6.0 g) sodium phosphate:

no. of moles = mass/molar mass = (6.0 g)/(163.94 g/mol) = 0.0366 mol.

It is known that every mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules.

using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of sodium phosphate contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

0.0366 mole of sodium phosphate contains → ??? molecules.

∴ The no. of molecules in 6.0 g of sodium phosphate = (6.022 x 10²³ molecules)(0.0366 mole)/(1.0 mole) = 2.2 x 10²² molecules.

What volume of o2 is needed to react fully with 720. Ml of nh3

Galina-37 [17]

Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume

Given,

Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L

The combustion reaction is shown as,

$\rm 4NH_{3} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 4NO +6H_{2}O$

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it can be said that,

$(4 \times 22.4)$ L of ammonia reacts with $(5 \times 22.4)$ L of oxygen gas.

So, 0.720 L of ammonia will react with:

$\dfrac{ (5 \times 22.4)}{(4 \times 22.4)} \times 0.720 = 0.9 \;\rm L$

Therefore, the volume of oxygen required is 900 mL.

Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide gas. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all

Firlakuza [10]

Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a chemical compound that is a significant pollutant in gaseous form as it is involved in the production of acid rain.

Industrially, sulfur trioxide is an important precursor to sulfuric acid and is formed from the reaction between sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) as shown in the chemical equation below.
