How many Ne atoms are contained in 32.0 g of the element?
Svetlanka [38]
Mass atomic of Ne=20.18 u
Therefore:
molar mass=20.18 g/1 mol

1 mole=6.022*10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)

Then: 6.022*10²³ atoms are contained in 20.18g

Now, We can solve this problem by the three rule.

6.022*10²³ atoms-------------------20.18 g
x------------------------------------------32 g

x=(6.022*10²³ atoms * 32 g)/20.18 g=9.55*10²³ atoms.

Answer: 9.55*10²³ Ne atoms are contained in 32 g of the element.

svlad2 [7]
Answer: A curve showing the relationship between temperature and time for a given amount of liquid heated at constant rate is a heating curve.

This is the option a. heating.

The increase of temperatue as result of heating may be ploted to show the changes. This increase of temperature related with the heat depends of the heat capacity of the substance. For a fixed amount of heat, substances with high heat capacity exhibit a lower increase in temperature than substances with low heat capacity.

How to prepare R-SH from R-Cl? Show reaction.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Alkylation reaction help in formation of thiol R-SH

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Say lets take sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) and alkyl chloride (R-Cl)/ any acid like chloroaceic acid or choloro or potassim acetates.

R-Cl + NaSH --> R-SH + NaCl

Such reactions are seen in the production of paper from wood pulp and in the production of organic compounds like thioglycolic acids (TGA)
