Answer 2

Why scientists weren’t initially concerned that the ocean absorbs excess carbon dioxide was because they saw carbon dioxide as a pollutant

What is a pollutant?

Generally, A pollutant is a material found in amounts that are harmful to organisms or exceed an environmental quality standard.

In conclusion,  scientists saw carbon dioxide as a major air pollutant, and the water was helping by absorbing it.

Answers

The molecular formula of the compound is C6H12O6.

1) We know that;

1 mole of CO2 contains 6.02 X 10^23 atoms

x moles of CO2 contains 1.5 X 10^23 atoms

x = 1 mole X  1.5 X 10^23 atoms /6.02 X 10^23 atoms

x = 0.25  moles of CO2

2) 1 mole of pure Al has 27 g

x moles of Al has 5 g

x = 1 mole ×  5 g/ 27 g

x = 0.19 moles

If 1 mole of Al contains 6.02 X 10^23 atoms

0.19 moles of Al contains 0.19 moles  ×  6.02 X 10^23 atoms /1 mole

= 1.14 X 10^23 atoms

3) From 2Na + Cl2 ---> 2NaCl;

2 moles of Na produces 2 moles of NaCl hence 3 moles of Na will also produce 3 moles of NaCl.

4) The molar mass of K2SO4 is obtained from;

2(39) + 32 + 4(16) = 78 + 32 + 64 = 174 g/mol

Now;

Percentage by mass of K = 2(39)/ 174  ×  100/1 = 44.8%

Percentage by mass of S = 32/174 ×  100/1 = 18.4%

Percentage by mass of O = 4(16)/174 ×  100/1 = 36.8%

5) The reaction equation is;

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2Al2O3

Total mass present =  162g + 144g = 306 g

Mass percent of Al =  162g/ 306 g ×  100/1 =52.9%

6)

C - 40/12     H -  6.71/1        O - 53.29/16

C - 3.33      H - 6.71            O - 3.33

Dividing through by the lowest ratio

C- 3.33/3.33     H - 6.71/3.33    O - 3.33/3.33

C - 1                  H - 2                 O - 1

The empirical formula is CH2O

Now;

[12 + 2(1) + 16] n = 180.16

30n = 180.16

n = 180.16/30

n = 6

The molecular formula is C6H12O6.

A 12.17 g sample of a compound contains 7.77 g of iron, Fe, 1.44 g of phosphorus, P, and oxygen, O. Calculate the empirical formula for the compound.

Answers

Answer:

Fe₃PO₄

Explanation:

They have given the total mass of the compound, the mass of iron and the mass of phosphorus. So we can find the mass of oxygen.

Mass of oxygen = 12.17 - (7.77 + 1.44) = 2.96g

So we can now find the empirical formula.

Element - mass - Mr - Mass÷Mr - Ratio - Simplest Ratio

Fe - 7.77g - 55.8 - [7.77÷55.8] - [0.14÷0.05]  - 2.8 = 3

P   - 1.44g -   31   -   [1.44÷31]    - [0.05÷0.05] - 1

O  - 2.96g -   16  -   [2.96÷16]   - [0.19÷0.05]  - 3.8 = 4

[The simplest ratio was obtained by dividing the answer of mass÷mr with the smallest value. Phosphorus had the smallest value of mass÷mr=0.05, so all other answer were divided by 0.05]

Emperical formula = Fe₃PO₄

Answers

CH4 has more ideal gas behavior than CCl4 due to its higher intermolecular interaction.

We must note that ideal gases have minimal interaction with each other. Hence, in deciding which gas has ideal gas behavior, we have to consider the gas that has the least degree of intermolecular interaction.

However, the both gases contain nonpolar molecules but CCl4 has a greater molecular mass and has more intermolecular interaction than CH4 hence CH4 has greater ideal gas behavior than CCl4.

5 moles S x (36.02 g S/mole S) = 180.1 grams of S

Explanation:

The periodic table has mass units for every element that can be correlated with the number of atoms of that element.  The relationship is known as Avogadro's Number.  This number, 6.02x[tex]10^{23}[/tex] , is nicknamed the mole, which scientists found to be a lot more catchy, and easier to write than  6.02x[tex]10^{23}[/tex].  The mole is correlated to the atomic mass of that element.  The atomic mass of sulfur, S, is 36.02 AMU, atomic mass units.  But it can also be read as 36.02 grams/mole.

This means that 36.02 grams of S contains 1 mole (6.02x[tex]10^{23}[/tex]) of S atoms.

This relationship holds for all the elements.  Zinc, Zn, has an atomic mass of 65.38 AMU, so it has a "molar mass" of 65.38 grams/mole.  ^5.38 grams of Zn contains 1 mole of Zn atoms.  

And so on.

5.0 moles of Sulfur would therefore contain:

(5.0 moles S)*(36.02 grams/mole S) = 180.1 grams of S

Note how the units cancel to leaves just grams.  The units are extremely helpful in mole calculations to insure the correct mathematical operation is done.  To find the number of moles in 70 g of S, for example, we would write:

(70g S)/(36.02 grams S/mole S) = 1.94 moles of S.  [Note how the units cancel to leave just moles]

A. 28 protons, 37 neutrons
b. 29 protons, 36 neutrons
C. 29 protons, 35 neutrons
D. 31 protons, 34 neutrons

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

because its the atom of the same element, the no of protons doesn't change but the mass number changes so we can find the mass number by:

(mass number = atomic no/no of protons + no of neutrons)

here;

mass number given = 65

and we know, no of protons = 29

let no of neutrons = x

hence,

65 = 29 + x

x= 65 – 29

x= 36

if you can’t already tell by the amount of questions i do not understand chemistry lol, giving brainliest

Answers

Answer:

Ok, so the process here is to convert the mass of H2 (hydrogen gas) to moles by dividing the mass by the molar mass of H2. Once you have the moles then you have to multiply by the STP (standard temperature and pressure) molar volume which should be 22.4.

Molar mass of H2 = (1.01)x2 = 2.02g/mol

19.3/2.02 = 9.55 moles

Now just multiply the moles by the molar volume

9.55 moles x 22.4 = 213.92 Litres of H2 are in 19.3g of H2
