Answer: Heat\pressure control

Explanation: In order to create metamorphic rock, it is vital that the existing rock remain solid and not melt. If there is too much heat or pressure, the rock will melt and become magma.

An 11.75 g sample of a common hydrate of cobalt(ii) chloride is heated. after heating, 9.25 g of anhydrous cobalt chloride remai

Irina-Kira [14]

Hydrated salts are when salt crystals have water molecules bound. Anhydrous salts are when the water has been removed.
mass of water removed = hydrated salt - anhydrate salt
= 11.75 g - 9.25 g = 2.50 g
number of water moles = 2.50 g / 18 g/mol = 0.139 mol
number of cobalt (II) chloride moles = 9.25 g / 130 g/mol = 0.0712 mol
ratio of water moles to CoCl₂ moles - 0.139 mol / 0.0712 mol = 1.95
rounded off 2 moles of water for every 1 mol of CoCl₂
formula - CoCl₂.2H₂O
name - Cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate

explain how both hydrogen and carbon have achieved stability by bonding with each other to form methane

Naya [18.7K]

A carbon iota can bond with four other iotas and is just like the four-hole wheel, whereas an oxygen iota, which can bond only to two, is just like the two-hole wheel.

A synthesis reaction takes place when carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form methanol (CH3OH). How many grams

jek_recluse [69]

The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

Step 1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01 2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

Step 3. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of CH_3OH we can obtain from each reactant.

From CO: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

From H_2: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

CO is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

Step 4. Calculate the mass of CH_3OH

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH

What happens in cellular respiration?

Alecsey [184]

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.
