Answer:

(1) 0.10 (2) 17.8 g

Explanation:

Since the reaction ratio is 1:1 what we need is to convert the given masses to moles and you will have the answer:

MW anthracene = 178.23 g/mol

MW maleic anhydride = 98.06 g/mol

a) mass anthracene = 178 mg x 1 g/ 1000 mg = 0.178 g anthracene

Moles anthracene = 0.178 g anthracene/ 178.23 g/mol

= 0.001 mol anthracene

0.001 mol anthracene x 1 mol maleic acid/mol anthracene

= 0.001 mol maleic anhydride

mass maleic anhydride = 0.001 mol x 98.06 g/mol = 0.10 g

b) moles maleic anhydride = 9.8 g/ 98.06 g/mol = 0.099 moles

0.099 moles maleic anhydride x 1 mol anthracene/mol maleic anhydride =

0.099 mol anthracene

g anthracene = 0.10mol x 178 g/mol = 17.8 g

Analyze the importance of chemistry in our society using the branches of chemistry as examples

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation: Well each branch has its own little job especially when it comes to society. First we have the Organic Chemistry Branch It includes the study of all the possible compounds which have carbon in them. Then we have the Inorganic Chemistry Branch, the inorganic compounds find their use in medicine, food, agriculture and also technology. Next we have the Biochemistry Branch it deals with chemistry happening inside the living bodies of animals and plants. This subject is huge and plays an important role in medicine, agriculture, poultry, fisheries, etc. And finally we have the Physical Chemistry Branch it deals with the physical properties of chemicals or substances. It includes topics like gaseous laws (Dalton law), thermal conduction in liquids, gases, solids. The conductivity of electrolytes (used in batteries) liquids etc. It also deals with processes like sublimation, melting point, boiling point, the crystal structure of compounds, etc.

The percent by mass of copper in CuBr2 is Use mc004-1.jpg. 28.45%. 44.30%. 63.55%. 71.55%.

Greeley [361]

First, we must find the total mass of CuBr₂:
Mass = 64 + 2 x 80
Mass = 224

Percentage mass of copper = mass of copper x 100 / total mass
Percentage mass of copper = (64 / 224) x 100
Percentage mass of copper = 28.45%

Albus Dumbledore provides his students with a sample of 19.3 g of sodium sulfate. How many oxygen atoms are in this sample

Dimas [21]

Answer:

3.27·10²³ atoms of O

Explanation:

To figure out the amount of oxygen atoms in this sample, we must first evaluate the sample.

The chemical formula for sodium sulfate is Na₂SO₄, and its molar mass is approximately 142.05 $\frac{g}{mol}$ .

We will use stoichiometry to convert from our mass of Na₂SO₄ to moles of Na₂SO₄, and then from moles of Na₂SO₄ to moles of O using the mole ratio; then finally, we will convert from moles of O to atoms of O using Avogadro's constant.

19.3g Na₂SO₄ · $\frac{1 mol Na^2SO^4}{142.05g Na^2SO^4}$ · $\frac{4 mol O}{1 mol Na^2SO^4}$ · $\frac{6.022x10^2^3}{1 mol O}$
