Answer:

Read Explanation

Explanation:

Aluminum foil does contain billions of atoms, but we write them just as Al because aluminum does not exist in single atom forms in normal circumstances but as billions in metallic bonds.

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid sodium carbonate is put into water:
Ludmilka [50]

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.

PLEASEEEE HELP :')

Answer:

340 grams Ca₃P₂ (2 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

   3Ca     +     2P     =>    Ca₃P₂

5.6 mole + excess =>   ? grams

Convert the 'known' to a coefficient of 1 by dividing all coefficients by 3.

=>  Ca   +   2/3P   =>    1/3Ca₃P₂

From the above, 1 mole of Ca => 1/3 mole Ca₃P₂  

∴ 5.6 mole Ca in an excess of P => 1/3(5.6 mole) Ca₃P₂

=> 1.8666 mol Ca₃P₂ (calculator answer) ≅ 1.9 mol Ca₃P₂

=> 1.9 mole x 182 g Ca₃P₂/mol Ca₃P₂ = 339.73333 grams Ca₃P₂

≅ 340 grams Ca₃P₂ (2 sig. figs.)

Given 6.23 mol Al find the atoms of Al
swat32

Answer:

The answer is

<h3>3.75 × 10²⁴ atoms of Al</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of Al given it's number of moles we use the formula

<h3>N = n × L</h3>

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

n = 6.23 mol

We have

N = 6.23 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.75 × 10²⁴ atoms of Al</h3>

Hope this helps you
