<span>1. What is the molar mass of gold?
Molar mass is a unit that expresses the mass of a molecule per one mol. The molar mass can be obtained by adding the neutron with the proton of the atoms. Gold has atomic number 79 so the proton is 79. The number of the neutron is 118. Then the molar mass would be: 79 + 118 = </span>197 g/mol<span>


</span><span>2. Calculate the number of moles of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work. 
</span>In this question, you are given the mass of the gold and asked for how many moles the sample has. To find the number of moles you just need to divide the weight by the molar mass.
For 45.39 grams of gold, the number of moles would be:
45.39 / (197g/mol)= 0.23 moles


3. Calculate the number of atoms of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work.Moles is unit of a number of molecules but 1 mol doesn't represent 1 molecule. The number of atoms can be obtained by multiplying the number of moles with Avogadro number. The calculation would be:
0.23 moles * (6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mol)= 1.387 * 10^23 molecules

How do you balance the chemical equation NaOH + H2SO4 &gt; Na2SO4 +H2O
jenyasd209 [6]
Make sure there are the same number of atoms of each element on either side.
1) Check each one.
2) If one's out of balance, alter the equation to balance it and go back to 1)
3) When everything's balanced, you're finished!

We have 1 Na on the left and 2 Na on the right here. We'll need another NaOH to balance it:
2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ > Na₂SO₄ + H₂O
Now O is out of balance. There's 6 on the left and 5 on the right. We'll need more H₂O:
2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ > Na₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O
Fortunately H is in balance. S is also in balance here, so looks like we did it!

According to Boyle’s law, when the pressure on a gas increases at constant temperature, its volume

The answer is c. decreases. The gas law has a rule of P1V1=P2V2. So when the pressure of this gas increases, the volume will decrease.

Typically, the hydrogen gas is bubbled through water for col- lection and becomes saturated with water vapor. Suppose 240. mL of
klio [65]

Answer:PH2=0.994atm, mass of zinc=0.606g

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction is written as;

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) - ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

V= 240ml = 0.240L

T= 30.8oC = 303.8K

Ptotal= 1.036atm

Pwater = 32mmHg at 30oC = 0.042atm

Therefore

PH2 = Ptotal - Pwater

= 1.036-0.042atm

=0.994atm

But PV= nRT

n = PV/RT

= 0.994x0.240/0.0821x303.8

= 0.24/24.94

=0.009324moles

For the grams of zinc

n=mass in grams/molar mass

Mass in grams = no of moles x molar mass

=0.009324x65 = 0.606g

How would you increase the amount of garbage that is recycled at your school
melamori03 [73]
Make sure you have recycling bens in classrooms and in hallways. remind the teachers to keep on the students so they will get in the habit to recycle. This could reduce garbage and increase recycling! hope it works for you! :)
