Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6

Explanation:

SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.

- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)

- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is -2

- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Hence, SeO3 = 0

Z + (-2 x 3) = 0

Z + (-6) = 0

Z - 6 = 0

Z = 0 + 6

Z = +6

Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The rate law may be determined only by experiment.

Explanation:

For a reaction, A + B ---> C, the rate law can only be determined from experimental data. Chemists determine the rate of reaction by carefully observing the changes in the concentration of species as the reaction progresses.

Hence, the rate law is not determined by inspection of the chemical reaction equation, it must be obtained from the experimental data, hence the answer given.

You might be able to roughly estimate mass in a visual manner, but it could be easy to dismiss the fact that a mole or even a gr

qwelly [4]

The balanced equation is

CO(g) + 2H2 (g) -> CH3OH(l)

Which means, every 2 moles of H2 will react with 1 mole of CO.

Find the number of moles, n = m/Mr

CO = (1.5x10^-6)/(12) = 1.25 x 10^-7 mol

H2 = (6.8x10^-6)/(2) = 3.4 x 10^-6 mol

Since we have a mole ratio of 2 to 1, H2 value will be multipled by 2 as 2 moles of H2 react to 1 mole of CO.

3.4 x 10^-6 x 2 = 6.8 x 10^-6

So obviously we can see that H2 is in excess and only some H2 molecules will be left at the end of the reaction.

6.8 x 10^-6 - 1.25 x 10^-7 = 6.675 x 10^-6 Moles of unreacted H2

To find the molecules of this amount of moles, Multiply it by Avogadros number, 6.02 x 10^23

Because for every mole, there are 6.02 x 10^23 molecules

6.575 x 10^-6 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 3.96 x 10^ 18 Molecules of gas

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

There are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

Explanation:

To decrease the temperature of the solution there are necessaries:

4,184J/g°C×(5,0°C-25,0°C)×(100,0g+X) = -Y

8368J + 83,68J/gX = Y (1)

Where x are grams of NH₄NO₃ you need to add and Y is the energy that you need to decrease the heat.

Also, the energy Y will be:

Y = 25700J/mol× $\frac{1mol}{80,043g}$ X

Y = 321J/g X (2)

Replacing (2) in (1)

8368J + 83,68J/g X = 321J/g X

8363J = 237,32J/gX

X = 35,2g

Thus, there are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

I hope it helps!

A sample of copper with a mass of 63.5g contains 6.02 x10^23 atoms calculate the mass of an average copper atom

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The mass of an average copper atom is $1.0548\times 10^{-22}\ g$

Explanation:

Given:

The total mass of copper atoms, $m = 63.5\ g$

Number of atoms, $N=6.02\times 10^{23}$

Now, we are asked to find the mass of 1 copper atom.

We use unitary method to find the mass of 1 copper atom.

Mass of $N$ atoms = m

∴ Mass of 1 atom = $\frac{m}{N}$

Plug in 63.5 for 'm', $6.02\times 10^{23}$ for 'N' and simply.

Mass of 1 atom = $\dfrac{63.5}{6.02\times 10^{23}}=1.0548\times 10^{-22}\ g$

Therefore, the mass of an average copper atom is $1.0548\times 10^{-22}\ g$
