Answer:

i believe the answer to your question is parallax or parsecs. im sorry im not very specific in this!

First, a dirty little secret: scientists don't actually measure astronomical distances in light years. Rather, they measure them in a unit called the Parsecs

Pure ethylene glycol, , is added to 2.00 kg of water in the cooling system of a car. The vapor pressure of the water in the syst

spayn [35]

Answer:

1367.7 g of ethylene glycol was added to the solution

Explanation:

In order to find out the mass of glycol we added, we apply the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure: ΔP = P° . Xm

ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution(P')

525.8 mmHg - 451 mmHg = 451 mmHg . Xm

74.8 mmHg / 451 mmHg = Xm → 0.166 (mole fraction of solute)

Xm = Mole fraction of solute / Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

We can determine the moles of solvent → 2000 g . 1 mol/18 g = 111.1 mol

(Notice we converted the 2kg of water to g)

0.166 = Moles of solute / Moles of solute + 111.1 moles of solvent

0.166 (Moles of solute + 111.1 moles of solvent) = Moles of solute

18.4 moles = Moles of solute - 0.166 moles of solute

18.4 = 0.834 moles of solute → Moles of solute = 18.4/0.834 = 22.06 moles

Let's convert the moles to mass → 62 g/mol . 22.06 mol = 1367.7 g

How many moles of water are produced when 5 moles of hydrogen gas react with 2 moles of oxygen gas?

Marysya12 [62]

4 moles of water are produced

Explanation:

4 moles of water are produced when 5 moles of hydrogen is reacted with 2 moles of oxygen gas
The balanced equation given is when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen and it forms 2 moles of water.
The equation we have to solve is the 5 moles of hydrogen is reacting with 2 moles of oxygen gas, we can write the equation as $5H_{2} +2O_{2} --> 4H_{2} O + H_{2}$
This is the balanced equation when 5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 2 moles of oxygen. The balanced equation means the number of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms on both sides would be equal in number.
