Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

So, for an atom with atomic mass 24.3 amu must have an atomic number as 12.

And, according to the periodic table only magnesium is the element which has an atomic number 12. As every element has different atomic number.

Chemical symbol which represents magnesium is Mg.

Thus, we can conclude that Mg is the chemical symbol for the atom which has an average atomic mass of about 24.3 amu.

So first off, Look at the periodic table and find which of the elements has the amu of 24.3, amu is just the number below the element and the answer would be Mg

36g of KOH dissolved in 800mL of water. What is the molality of the solution?

Bad White [126]

Answer:

0.80m of KOH

Explanation:

Molality is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and kg of solvent.

In the problem, the solute is KOH and solvent is water.

Moles of 36g KOH -Molar mass: 56.1g/mol- are:

36g KOH × (1mol / 56.1g) = 0.642 moles of KOH

Now, as density of water is 1g/mL, mass of 800mL of water is:

800mL × (1g / mL) × (1kg / 1000g) = 0.800kg of water

Thus, molality is:

0.642moles of KOH / 0.800kg = 0.80m of KOH

Methane, CH4, reacts with I2 according to the reaction CH4(g)+I2(g)⇌CH3I(g)+HI(g)

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

pCH₄ = 105.1 - 0.42 = 104.68 torr

pI₂ = 7.96 -0.42 = 7.54 torr

pCH₃I = 0.42 torr

pHI = 0.42 torr

Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant for the partial pressure of the gases in the reaction, and it is calculated for a general equation:

aA(g) + bB(g) ⇄ cC(g) + dD(g)

$Kp = \frac{(pC)^cx(pD)^d}{(pA)^ax(pB)^b}$ , where p is the partial pressure in the equilibrium. By the reaction given:

CH₄(g) + I₂(g) ⇄ CH₃I(g) + HI(g)

105.1 torr 7.96 torr 0 0 initial partial pressure

-x -x +x +x react

105.1-x 7.96-x x x equilibrium

Then:

$Kp = \frac{pCH3IxpHI}{pCH4xpI2} = \frac{x^2}{(105.1-x)(7.96-x)}$

$2.26x10^{-4} = \frac{x^2}{836.596 - 113.06x -x^2}$

x² = 0.1891 - 0.0255x -2.26x10⁻⁴x²

0.9997x² + 0.0255x - 0.1891 = 0

Using Bhaskara's rule:

Δ = (0.0255)² - 4x(0.9997)x(-0.1891)

Δ = 0.7568

$x = \frac{-b+/-\sqrt{0.7568} }{2a} = \frac{-0.0255 +/-0.8699}{1.9994}$

Using only the positive term, x = 0.42 torr.

So,

pCH₄ = 105.1 - 0.42 = 104.68 torr

pI₂ = 7.96 -0.42 = 7.54 torr

pCH₃I = 0.42 torr

pHI = 0.42 torr

Calculate the mass of 3.75 x 10^23 molecules of CaSO4 Please HelpIn a hurry Ill give brainliest

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Mass = 84.82 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of CaSO₄ = 3.75× 10²³

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

3.75× 10²³ molecule × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.623 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.623 mol × 136.14 g/mol

Mass = 84.82 g

A 0.300 g piece of copper is heated and fashioned into a bracelet. The amount of energy transferred by heat to the copper is 66,

Alja [10]

Answer:

X=600 degrees celsius

Explanation:

We can evaluate by using the equation ==> Q=m(c)(delta T)

-We know the mass is 0.3 g

-Q= 66,300 J

-C= 390 j/g 0C

-Therefore, we need to solve for delta T (which will be represented by x)

Q= mct

66,300 J= 0.3 g (390 J/g 0C) (t)

The unit of measurement (g-grams) can be crossed out on the left side of our expression.

66,300 J=0.3(390 J 0C) (t)

-If we convert into a proportional relationship:

66,300 J 117 J/0C x

------------ = -----------

117 J/0C 117 J/0C

-Joules on both sides can be crossed off

*117 J/0C came from the product in terms of 0.3(390 J 0C)

*If we find the quotient of 66,300 J and 117 J/0C, we get 566.6 repeating

-You may keep the answer as it is, although for simplicity reasons, we can round to the nearest hundred.

-Therefore, x=600.

-----Remember, x represented the delta t in our equation. (I made notice of that when evaluating).

Hope this helps! :)
