Answer:

$\boxed{\text{378 g}}$

Explanation:

We must convert formula units of Zn(ClO₃)₂ to moles and then to grams of Zn(ClO₃)₂.

Step 1. Convert formula units to moles

$\text{Moles of Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}\\\\= 9.80 \times10^{23}\text{ formula units Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}}{6.022 \times\ 10^{23} \text{ formula units Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \text{1.627 mol Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}$

Step 2. Convert moles to grams

$\text{Mass of Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}\\\\= \text{1.627 mol Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{232.29 g Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \text{378 g Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$}\\\\\text{The mass of Zn(ClO$_{3}$)$_{2}$ is } \boxed{\textbf{378 g}}$

5 plates is the highest amount that can be served

There’s only 5 sandwiches so 7 is automatically ruled out, there’s 14 corn cobs and 5 sandwiches only need 10 so it works out

Consider the following balanced redox reaction: 2CrO2-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 6ClO-(aq) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ 2CrO42-(aq) + 3Cl2(g) +

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Chromium

2. Chlorine.

3. Chlorine.

4. Chromium.

5. 12 electrons.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the given reaction with the appropriate oxidation states turns out:

$2(Cr^{+3}O^{-2}_2)^-(aq) + 2H_2O(l) + 6(Cl^{+1}O^{-2})^-(aq)\longrightarrow 2(Cr^{+6}O^{-2}_4)^{2-}(aq) + 3Cl^0_2(g) + 4OH^-(aq)$

In such a way, the oxidation half-reaction is written for chromium as the reducing agent so it is oxidized from +3 to +6, nonetheless, since there are two chromiums undergoing such change, 6 electrons are being transferred as shown below:

$2(Cr^{+3}O^{-2}_2)^-(aq) \longrightarrow 2(Cr^{+6}O^{-2}_4)^{2-}(aq)+6e^-$

On the other hand, chlorine's reduction half-reaction as the oxidizing agent result from the transfer of 6 electrons as well from +1 to 0, nonetheless, there are 6 chlorines undergoing such change:

$6(Cl^{+1}O^{-2})^-+6e^-\longrightarrow 3Cl^0_2(g)$

Therefore, there are 12 electrons that are being transferred, 6 for chromium and 6 for chlorine.

Best regards.

in a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 22.0% by mass pecans. If 5.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday,

zysi [14]

22.0 is the same as saying that in 100 grams of a chocolate bar, there are 22.0 grams of pecans. or to make it easier because of this problem- 100 Kilograms of a chocolate bar, there is 22.0 Kg of pecans. we can use this as a conversion factor (what is used to convert a value to another value.

conversion factor---> 22.0 kg of pecan= 100 kg of chocolate bar
Note: remember this, what you are converting from goes in the denominator, what you converting to goes in the numerator.

5.0 Kg of pecan (100 Kg of chocolate bar/ 22.0 Kg of pecan)= 23 Kg of chocolate bar
