What is a compound in chemistry

1 answer:

5 0

Two types of chemical bonds common in compounds are covalent bonds and ionic bonds. The elements in any compound are always present in fixed ratios. Example 1: Pure water is a compound made from two elements - hydrogen and oxygen.

how much heat is released when 70.9g of water at 66C cools to 25C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gC

Serga [27]

Answer:

-12162.47 joules (or -12000 joules when accounting for significant figures)

Explanation (btw I used 1 cal as 4.184 joules because SI units are better):

q = m c delta T

q = (70.9) (4.184) (25 - 66)

q = (70.9) (4.184) (-41)

q = -12162.47 joules

What is the mass of 8.23 x 10^23 atoms of Ag

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Approximately \ 147 \ g\ Ag}}$

Explanation:

Convert Atoms to Moles

The first step is to convert atoms to moles. 1 mole of every substance has the same number of particles: 6.022 ×10²³ or Avogadro's Number. The type of particle can be different, in this case it is atoms of silver. Let's create a ratio using this information.

$\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag}$

We are trying to find the mass of 8.23 ×10²³ silver atoms, so we multiply by that number.

$8.23 *10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag *\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag}$

Flip the ratio so the atoms of silver cancel. The ratio is equivalent, but places the other value with units "atoms Ag" in the denominator.

$8.23 *10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag *\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}$

$8.23 *10^{23} *\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{6.022*10^{23} }$

Condense into one fraction.

$\frac{8.23 *10^{23} }{6.022*10^{23} } \ mol \ Ag$

$1.366655596 \ mol \ Ag$

Convert Moles to Grams

The next step is to convert the moles to grams. This uses the molar mass, which is equivalent to the atomic mass on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole.

Ag: 107.868 g/mol

Let's make another ratio using this information.

$\frac {107.868 \ g \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ ag}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

$1.366655596 \ mol \ Ag*\frac {107.868 \ g \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ ag}$

The moles of silver cancel out.

$1.366655596 *\frac {107.868 \ g \ Ag}{1 }$

$1.366655596 * {107.868 \ g \ Ag}$

$147.4184058 \ g\ Ag$

Round

The original measurement of atoms has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the ones place.

147.4184058

The 4 in the tenths place tells us to leave the 7 in the ones place.

$147 \ g\ Ag$

8.23 ×10²³ silver atoms are equal to approximately 147 grams.

Which best explains what happens to the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?A They are incorporated into molecu

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A They are incorporated into molecules of sugar.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the metabolic process whereby sugar molecules are synthesized by plants in the presence of sunlight (light energy). For this process to occur, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are needed as reactants from external sources. Hence, the photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this question, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are incorporated into sugar molecule (glucose). It takes 6 carbon atoms to produce one glucose molecule (C6H12O6). This process involves series of reaction in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis to occur.
