Carbon dioxide is formed when oxygen reacts with carbon in positive electrode which eventually burns out. This is why the carbon anode burn away in the electrolysis of aluminium chloride.

Answer : The total mass of carbon dioxide and water produced will be, 65.7 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O$

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of $C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$ = Total mass of $6CO_2+6H_2O$

As we are given :

Total mass of $C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$ = 65.7 grams

So,

65.7 grams = Total mass of $6CO_2+6H_2O$

Therefore, the total mass of carbon dioxide and water produced will be, 65.7 grams.

How many grams are there in 3.30x10 23 grams of n2i6

qwelly [4]

Technically, the answer should be 3.30 * 10^23 grams. But I think you mean either molecules, atoms, moles or grams of Ni2I6 with that number of molecules .

1 mole of Ni2 I6 = 6.02 * 10^23 molecules
x [mole] = 3.30 * 10^23 molecules

1/x = 6.02 * 10^23 / 3.30 * 10^23 Cancel the 10^23 on the right side
1/x = 6.02 / 3.30 Cross multiply
3.30 = 6.02 x Divide by 6.02
3.30 / 6.02 = x
x = 0.548 moles

what to do from here?

1 mole of Ni2I6 is
2 * Ni = 2 * 59 = 118 grams
6 * I = 6 * 131 = 786 grams
Total = 904 grams

Set up a proportion.
1 mole Ni2I6 = 904 grams
0.548 moles = x

1/0.548 = 904/x Cross multiply
x = 0.548 * 904
x = 495.4 grams of Ni2I6 <<<<<< Answer.

Calculate the number of grams in 4.56 x 1026 atoms of sodium phosphate. Be sure to balance the charges of sodium phosphate. Help

zalisa [80]

Answer:

124225.91 g of Na₃PO₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of atoms of Na₃PO₄ = 4.56×10²⁶ atoms

Mass of Na₃PO₄ =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

6.02×10²³ atoms = 1 mole of Na₃PO₄

Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of Na₃PO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ = (23×3) + 31 + (16×4)

= 69 + 31 + 64

= 164 g

Thus,

6.02×10²³ atoms = 164 g of Na₃PO₄

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Na₃PO₄ that contains 4.56×10²⁶ atoms. This can be obtained as follow:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 164 g of Na₃PO₄

Therefore,

4.56×10²⁶ atoms = (4.56×10²⁶ × 164)/6.02×10²³

4.56×10²⁶ atoms = 124225.91 g of Na₃PO₄

Therefore, 124225.91 g of Na₃PO₄ contains 4.56×10²⁶ atoms

By what factor would a scuba diver’s lungs expand if she ascended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 125 ft without inhaling

vova2212 [387]

It is found that scuba diver’s can safely ascend up to 52.53 ft without Breathing out.

By what factor would a scuba diver’s lungs expand if she ascended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 125 ft without inhaling or exhaling then

$p_{1}$ =patm+ $pH_{2} O$

$p_{1}$ = 101325+ρ $gh_{1}$

It is given that height is 125ft. Put the value of h in above formula:

h1 =125ft=38.1m

ρ=1.04g/mL=1040kg/ $m^{3}$

g=9.81

$p_{1}$ =101325Pa+388711.44

$p_{1}$ =490036.44‬Pa

$p_{2}$ =p atm =101325Pa

It is known that volume and pressure can be expressed as:

V*P=const.

where, V is volume and P is pressure.

Now,

$V_{1} *p_{1}$ = $V_{2} *p_{2}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ = $p_{2} /p_{1}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ =490036.44/101325

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ =4.84

Assume constant temperature

d of seawater = 1.04 g/mL; d of Hg = 13.5 g/mL.

now $p_{1}$ =p atm+ $pH_{2} O$ =490036.44Pa

V*p=const

where, V is volume and P is pressure.

Now,

$V_{1} *p_{1}$ = $V_{2} *p_{2}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ = $p_{2} /p_{1}$

$V_{2} /V_{1}$ =490036.44/X

$p_{2}$ =490036.44pa/(V2/V1) =326690.96Pa

$p_{2}$ =patm +p $H_{2} O$

$p_{2}$ =101325Pa+ρ $gh_{2}$

326690.96Pa=101325Pa+ρ $gh_{2}$

ρgh1 =151987.5-101325=225365.96‬‬Pa

ρ=1,04g/mL=1040kg/m3

g=9.81

$h_{2}$ =225365.96/‬ρ∗g

$h_{2}$ =225365.96 / ‬1040∗9.81

$h_{2}$ =22.09m= 72.47ft

ΔH= $H_{1} -H_{2}$

=125-72.47

=52.53ft

So she can safely ascend up to 52.53 ft without Breathing out
