- (For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forwardPart A) What principle states that the volumes of gases that combine in a chemical reaction are in the ratio of small whole numbers? A) Avogadro’s theory B) Law of constant conditions C) Law of conservation of volume D)Law of conservation of mass E) Law of combining volume Part B) Which of the following is not in the same ratio as the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation? A) Volumes of gaseous reactants and products B) Moles of reactants and products C) Molecules of reactants and products D) Masses of reactants and products E) None of the above Part C) What happens to the pressure of a gas if the number of molecules increases twofold (volume and temperature remains constant) A) The pressure decreases twofold B) The pressure remains constant C) The pressure decreases fourfold D) The pressure increases fourfold E) The pressure increases twofoldarrow_forwardMethane CH is a simple organic molecule that is used as a fuel—it is the major component of natural gas. The bottom of the ocean contains large amounts of methane hydrate (also called methane ice or methane clathrate), enough that it has been suggested as a major source of fuel. The methane hydrate contains 6 moles water for each mole of methane. What percentage of methane hydrate is methane? What percentage is water? 2. ______________ solids are made up of large numbers of independent, constituent units, some of which attract and others repel. 3. ______________ solids have large numbers of covalent bonds, but not necessarily many component units. 4. What is the respiration rate for a breath every 2.5 seconds?arrow_forward

A. Mole B. Molecular Unit c. Molecules D. Formula Unit 2. Who was credited for the idea of that the number of molecules in the substance proportional to its physical mass? A. Amadeo Avogadro B. Emedeo Avogardo C. Jean Baptiste Perrin D. Jean Loschmidt 3. In Hubei China, Ten hospitals were used to do a trial for Remdesivir drugs. Patients age 18 and above was admitted with a laboratory confirmed SARS COV 2 infection. Patients were assigned to intake 0.20 g of Redmesivir on the first day and followed by 0.10 g on the following days. How much molecules of Remdesivir was used on the first day?

The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1 volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y 2 volumes compound I 2 volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y 2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.arrow_forwardSilicon carbide, SIC, is one of the hardest materials known. Surpassed in hardness only by diamond, it is sometimes known commercially as carborundum. Silicon carbide is used primarily as an abrasive for sandpaper and is manufactured by heating common sand (silicon dioxide, SiO2) with carbon in a turn ace. :math>SiO2(s)+C(s)CO(g)+SiC(s) at mass of silicon carbide should result when 1.0 kg of pure sand is heated with an excess of carbon?arrow_forward
