What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of

a standard meter stick”?
Chemistry
1 answer:
sergey [27]2 years ago

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

How many moles of chromium metal equal 7.52 × 1022 atoms Cr?
grigory [225]

Answer:

0.125 mole

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we discovered that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

The statement above suggests that 1 mole of chromium contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

Now, if 1mole of of chromium contains 6.02x10^23 atoms,

Then Xmol of chromium contains 7.52x10^22 atoms i.e

Xmol of chromium = 7.52x10^22/6.02x10^23

Xmol of chromium = 0.125 mole

Therefore, 0.125 mole of chromium contains 7.52x10^22 atoms

What is the emperical formula for a compound containing 68.3% lead, 10.6% sulfur, and the remainder oxygen? a. Pb2SO4 b. PbSO3 c
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Molecular formula → PbSO₄ → Lead sulfate

Option c.

Explanation:

The % percent composition indicates that in 100 g of compound we have:

68.3 g of Pb, 10.6 g of S and  (100 - 68.3 - 10.6) = 21.1 g of O

We divide each element by the molar mass:

68.3 g Pb / 207.2 g/mol = 0.329 moles Pb

10.6 g S / 32.06 g/mol = 0.331 moles S

21.1 g O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 moles O

We divide each mol by the lowest value to determine, the molecular formula

0.329 / 0.329 = 1 Pb

0.331 / 0.329 = 1 S

1.32 / 0.329 = 4 O

Molecular formula → PbSO₄ → Lead sulfate

Which mass of gas would occupy a volume of 3dm3 at 25°C and 1 atmosphere pressure?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

C 8.09 SO2 gas

Explanation:

As we have the volume (3dm³ = 3L), temperature (25°C + 273 = 298K), and pressure (1atm), we can solve to moles of gas using:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

1atm*3L / 0.082atmL/molK*298K =¨

0.123 moles of gas you have.

Now, to convert these moles to mass we use molar mass (32g/mol for O2, 28g/mol for N2, 64g/mol for SO2, and 44g/mol for CO2).

Mass of 0.123 moles of these gases is:

O2 = 0.123 moles * 32g/mol = 3.94g of O2. A is wrong

N2 = 0.123 moles * 28g/mol = 3.4g of N2. B is wrong

SO2 = 0.123 moles * 64.1g/mol = 7.9g of SO2≈ 8.09g of SO2, C is possible

CO2 = 0.123 moles * 44g/mol = 5.4g of CO2. D is wrong

Right answer is:

<h3>C 8.09 SO2 gas </h3>

How many moles of koh are contained in 750. ml of 5.00 m koh solution?
Marat540 [252]
Molarity is one of  the method of expressing concentration of solution. Mathematically it is expressed as,
 Molarity = \frac{\text{number of moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution (l)}}

Given: Molarity of solution = 5.00 M
Volume of solution = 750 ml = 0.750 l

∴ 5 = \frac{\text{number of moles}}{.750}
∴ number of moles = 3.75

Answer: Number of moles of KOH present in solution is 3.75.
