What are coefficients?

1 answer:

5 0

Coefficients are numbers in front of variables.
For example, in y=2x, the coefficient is 2.
In the case of chemistry, the coefficient is in front if a chemical symbol and is used to balance a chemical reaction.
Example: O2 + Fe= Fe2O3 (with Fe having a +3 ion)
To balance use the following coefficients:
3O2+4Fe=2Fe2O3
Hope this helps!

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

For a: The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b: The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c: The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

Explanation:

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is $Na_2SO_3$ . It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium $(Na^+)$ ions and 1 sulfite $(SO_3^{2-})$ ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol$

For a:

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22}$ number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b:

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22}$ number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c:

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = $\frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g$

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Period

Explanation:

If we ubicate te period one on the alkaline metals, we can see the lithium, so we go to the borans on te group AIII an we see Boron, move to the rigth on the same sense tou the group AVI we see the Oxygen, we can know that also for the electronic configuration Li:1s²2s¹ B:1s²2s²3p
