Answer:
8.60 * 
atoms N2
Explanation:
We want to convert grams to moles and then moles to atoms.
First, we convert grams of nitrogen gas (which is N2) to moles. To do so, we need the molar mass of N2, which is just 14.01 * 2 = 28.02 g.
40 g N2 * 
= 1.43 mol N2
Now, we need to convert moles to atoms by using Avogadro's number, which is 
:
1.43 mol N2 * 
= 8.60 * atoms N2
Thus, the answer is 8.60 * atoms N2.
Metalloids are elements that have both metal and nonmetal properties
Answer:
Let x equal the percentage abundance of one of the two isotopes. The other isotope must then have an abundance of 100 percent minus x percent, which you express in decimal form as (1 - x). For nitrogen, you can set x equal to the abundance of N14 and (1 - x) as the abundance of N15.
Explanation:
The starting material or materials for a chemical reaction are referred to as the reactants. The substance or substances produced from a chemical reaction are called products. Sometimes a secondary product, a byproduct, can also be created at the same time as the desired product(s).
Not every chemical reaction occurs in the same way. There are different types of chemical reactions, including synthesis reactions, decomposition reactions, and displacement reactions. In this experiment, a decomposition reaction takes place. During a decomposition reaction, a compound breaks apart into two or more products. Most decomposition reactions need an outside source of energy in order to take place.
Hydrogen peroxide is not a very stable compound, so it slowly decomposes into water and oxygen gas under normal conditions. In this reaction, yeast is used as a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that helps to change the rate of a reaction. During the reaction, the catalyst is not consumed. As a result, the yeast makes the reaction occur much faster; it causes the hydrogen peroxide to break down and release the oxygen gas much faster.
The soap is used to help us “see” the reaction. Bubbles of oxygen become trapped in the soap, creating foam. The reaction occurs so quickly, releasing so much gas and creating so much foam, that the foam begins to flow out of the bottle. The result of this reaction looks like toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube.
In addition, the bottle will feel warm to the touch because the reaction is exothermic. An exothermic reaction or process is one that gives off energy. In contrast, an endothermic reaction or process is one that requires or absorbs energy.
HYPOTHESIS
uAdding yeast to hydrogen peroxide
will cause the hydrogen peroxide to
decompose quickly into water and oxygen gas, creating foam as the gas becomes trapped in liquid dish soap and pushes upward out of the bottle.
FORMULAS & EQUATIONS
Hydrogen peroxide is a relatively clear liquid substance. It is soluble in water and is often sold as a mixture of H2O2 in water. The hydrogen peroxide used in this experiment is actually a 6% solution of H2O2 in water.
The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2.
Hydrogen peroxide naturally decomposes into water and oxygen gas. The reaction is shown by the following equation:
2H2O2 (aq)g2H2O (l) + O2 (g)
The rate of the reaction can be increased by introducing a catalyst. In this experiment, the catalyst is yeast. Yeast is a microorganism that is part of the fungi family. Therefore, in the equation below, the catalyst is indicated above the arrow.
