Damm [24]2 years ago

Answer:

use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.

Example:

NaCl

one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.

2CaCl2

2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal

A rectangle has a length of 5.50m and a width of 12.0m. What is the area of this rectangle?​
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

66m

Explanation:

To get the area of something you multiple the length (5.5) by the width (12) together. So the problem would look like 5.5×12 and if you multipe that you get 66

The vapor pressure of water at 25.0°c is 23.8 torr. determine the mass of glucose (molar mass = 180 g/mol) needed to add to 500.
svp [43]
Q: A
according to this formula, we can get the mole fraction of water (n):
P(solu) = n Pv(water)
when we have Pv(solu) = 22.8 and Pv(water) = 23.8 so by substitution:
22.8 = n * 23.8
n= 0.958
- we need to get the moles of glucose:
moles of water = 500 g(mass weight) / 18 (molar weight)= 27.7 mol
n = moles of water / ( moles of water + moles of glucose)
0.958   = 27.7 / ( 27.7+ moles of glucose)
0.958 moles of glucose + 26.5 = 27.7
0.968 moles of glucose = 1.2
moles of glucose = 1.253 mol
∴ the mass of glucose = no.of glucose moles x molar mass 
                                      = 1.253 x 180 = 225.5 g
Q: B
here we also need to get n (mole fraction of water )by using this formula:
Pv(solu) = n Pv(water)
when we have Pv(solu)=132 & Pv(water)=150 so, by substition:
132= n * 150
n = 0.88
so, mole fraction of solution = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12
and we can get after that the moles of water = (mass weight / molar mass)
- no.moles of water = 85 g / 18 g/mol = 4.7 moles
- total moles in solution = moles of water / moles fraction of water 
                                        = 4.7 / 0.88 = 5.34 moles 
∴ moles of the solution = total moles in solu - moles of water 
                                       = 5.34 - 4.7 = 0.64 moles solute
∴ the molar mass of the solute = mass weight of solute / no.of moles of solute
                                                    = 53.8 / 0.64 = 84 g/mole

Q: C

moles of urea (NH2)2 CO = mass weight / molar mass
                                           = 4.49 g / 60 g /mol
                                           = 0.07 mol
moles of methanol = mass weight / molar mass 
                                 = 39.9  g / 32  g/mol = 1.25 mol
moles fraction of methanol = moles of methanol / (moles of methanol + moles of urea )
moles fraction of methanol = 1.25 / ( 1.25+0.07) = 0.95
by substitution in Pv formula we will be able to get the vapour pressure of the solu :
Pv(solu) = n P°v
Pv(solu) = 0.95 * 89 mm Hg 
∴Pv(solu) = 84.55 mmHg

Chemistry, please help! Thanks.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au;   1.50 V

Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V

Na⁺ + e⁻     ⟶ Na; -2.71 V

A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.

Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.

Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons,  so

Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.

What is my formula? Silver l acetate
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Ag(I)C2H3O2 ....................

Silver only has a single valence value (+1) so you really don't need to put the (I) in the chemical formula.
