Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.93 \ mol \ CO_2}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of carbon dioxide are in 85.0 grams.

Grams are converted to moles using the molar mass (the mass of 1 mole of a substance). These values are found on the Periodic Table. They are equal to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up the molar masses of carbon and oxygen.

  • C: 12.011 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

The formula CO₂ has a subscript of 2. There are 2 moles of oxygen in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. Multiply oxygen's molar mass by 2.

  • O₂: 15.999 g/mol * 2 =31.998 g/mol
  • CO₂= 12.011 + 31.998=44.009 g/mol

Set up a conversion factor using the molar mass.

\frac {44.009 \ g \ CO_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CO_2}

We are converting 85.0 grams of carbon dioxide to moles, so we multiply by this value.

85.0  \ g \ CO_2 *\frac {44.009 \ g \ CO_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CO_2}

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of carbon dioxide cancel.

85.0  \ g \ CO_2 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.009 \ g \ CO_2}

85.0  *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.009}

\frac {85.0}{44.009} \ mol \ CO_2

1.931423118 \ mol \ CO_2

The original measurement of grams (85.0) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredth place. The 1 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 3.

1.93 \ mol \ CO_2

There are approximately <u>1.93 moles of carbon dioxide</u> in 85.0 grams.

The activity series goes top to bottom, most active to least active elements, going: Li, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Ag, Hg, Au. 

Thus, your list of metals would go from most reactive to least reactive: Li, K, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Au

Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check–don't work ahead to solve
Naya [18.7K]

To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.

F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.

As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.

A piston in a heat engine does 500 joules of work, and 1400 joules of heat are added to the system. Determine the change in inte
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The change in internal energy is, 900 Joules.

Solution : Given,

Heat given to the system = +1400 J

Work done by the system = -500 J

Change in internal energy is equal to the sum of heat energy and work done.

Formula used :

\Delta U=q+w

where,

\Delta U = change in internal energy

q = heat energy

w = work done

As per question, heat is added to the system that means, q is positive and work done by the system that means, w is negative.

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

\Delta U=(+1400J)+(-500J)=900J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is 900 J.

The change in internal energy depends on the heat energy and work done. As we will change in the heat energy and work done, then changes  will occur in the internal energy. Hence, the energy is conserved.
