Answer:

1.49×10²² atoms of H are contained in the sample

Explanation:

TNT → C₇H₅N₃O₆

1 mol of this has 7 moles of C, 5 moles of H, 3 moles of N and 6 moles of O

Let's determine the mass of TNT.

Molar mass is = 227 g/mol

As 1 mol has (6.02×10²³) NA atoms, how many moles are 8.94×10²¹ atoms.

8.94×10²¹ atoms / NA = 0.0148 moles

So this would be the rule of three to determine the mass of TNT

3 moles of N are in 227 g of compound

0.0148 moles of N are contained in (0.0148 .227) / 3 = 1.12 g

Now we can work with the hydrogen.

227 grams of TNT contain 5 moles of H

1.12 grams of TNT would contain (1.12 .5) / 227 = 0.0247 moles

Finally let's convert this moles to atoms:

0.0247 mol . 6.02×10²³ atoms / 1 mol = 1.49×10²² atoms

Looking at the same nonmetal group on the periodic table, how does the reactivity of an element in period 2 compare to the react

Bas_tet [7]

Answer : Option B) The period 2 element would be more reactive because the attractive force of protons is stronger when electrons are attracted to a closer electron shell.

Explanation : The reactivity of the Periods decreases as we go from left to right across a period. The farther to the left and down the periodic chart we go, the easier it is for electrons to be donated or taken away, resulting in higher reactivities of the elements. The attractive force of the protons is found to be stronger when electrons are found to be attracted to a closer electron shell.

Combining aqueous solutions of bai2 and na2so4 affords a precipitate of baso4. Which ions are spectator ions in the reaction?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq)

Explanation:

We have the chemical reaction:

BaI₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaI

However if you want to determine the spectator ions you need to write the states of compounds:

(aq) - ions dissolved in water

(s) - solid

Ba²⁺ (aq) + 2 I⁻ (aq) + 2 Na⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s) + 2 Na⁺ (aq) + 2 I⁻ (aq)

The ions which does not change the state and remains dissolved in the solution are spectator ions. For our chemical reaction we have the following spectator ions:

I⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq)

Sample (3.585g) contains 1.388g of C, 0.345g of H, 1.850g of O and its molar mass is 62g. What is the molecular formula of this

Tanzania [10]

Answer: C2H6O2

Explanation: solution attached:

First convert mass to moles.

Second divide each moles on the lowest amount to find the number of atoms in the empirical formula.

Third calculate the empirical formula mass.

Fourth calculate for the molecular formula by dividing the molar mass over the empirical formula mass.

Fifth multiply the empirical formula by the answer and that is the molecular formula of the compound.

A molecular biologist measures the mass of Cofactor A in an average yeast cell. The mass is 77.91pg. What is the total mass in m

Anni [7]

In this question, you are given the average cofactor mass per cell (77.91pg) and the total cells count(10^5 cells). You are asked how much cofactor that will be found from those cells(microgram= 10^6 picogram). Then the calculation would be:
Cofactor mass= cofactor per cell * cell count= 77.91pg/cell * 10^5 cells= 7.791 x 10^6pg

Then convert the picogram(pg) into microgram: 7.791x 10^6pg/ (10^6pg/microgram)= 7.791 microgram
