Answer:

A process during which chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new ones are formed, producing one or more substances.

Moles are the amount of substance that contains as many particles.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is when a chemical change occurs for example when a nail comes into contact with air and is then exposed to air it begins to rust. It forms a red-brown substance which changes the chemical composition of the original compound.

Examples of chemical reactions:

Combustion

Oxidation (rusting)

Cooking an egg

Photosynthesis

Digestion

Fireworks

Paper Burnin

The mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (molecules, ions or atoms) as there are in 12g of carbon.

1 mol is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12.0 g of carbon-12 and that number is referred to as Avogardo's constant (6.022 x $10^{23}$ ).

Molybdenum has a molar mass of 95.94g/mol. How many molecules of molybdenum are in 150.0 g of molybdenum

Kitty [74]

We are given the molar mass of Molybdenum as 95.94 g/mol. Also, the chemical symbol for Molybdenum is Mo. This question is asking for the amount of molecules of molybdenum in a 150.0 g sample. However, since molybdenum is a metal and it is in the form of solid molybdenum, Mo (s), it is not actual a molecule. A molecule has one or more atom bonded together. We will instead be finding the amount of atoms of Molybdenum present in the sample. To do this we use Avogadro's number, which is the amount of atoms/molecules of a substance in 1 mole of that substance.

150.0 g Mo/ 95.94 g/mol = 1.563 moles of Mo

1.563 moles Mo x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mole = 9.415 x 10²³ atoms Mo

Therefore, there are 9.415 x 10²³ atoms of Molybdenum in 150.0 g.

Which comparison accurately states why phylogenetic trees based on molecular data can be more informative than those based on mo

Romashka [77]

Molecular data is more informative than morphology because this examines the DNA sequence and protein composition. This then provide a more comprehensive detail on what species are more related and distant with one another. .

Which of the following is a double replacement reaction?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Double replacement reaction is when the cation of one reactant replaces the metal of the other reactant and vice versa.

a. 2SO2 + O2 —> 2S03 This is a combination reaction

b. Zn + Cu(NO3)2 → Zn(NO3)2 + Cu This is a single replacement reaction.

c. 2H2O2–> 2H2O + O2 This is a decomposition reaction

d . AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3 This is a double replacement reaction

Bombardier beetles inject boiling hydrogen peroxide, or H2O2, into the victims. It then decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen gas.

Answer:

0.12 g of O2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

H2O2 —> H2 + O2

Next, we shall determine the mass of H2O2 that decomposed and the mass of O2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of H2O2 = (2×1) + (16×2)

= 2 + 32

= 34 g/mol

Mass of H2O2 from the balanced equation = 1 × 34 = 34 g.

Molar mass of O2 = 16×2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 1 × 32 = 32 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

34 g of H2O2 decomposed to produce 32 g of O2.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of O2 produced from the decomposition of 0.128 g of H2O2. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

34 g of H2O2 decomposed to produce 32 g of O2.

Therefore, 0.128 g of H2O2 will decompose to produce = (0.128×32)/34 = 0.12 g of O2.

Therefore, 0.12 g of O2 was produced.
