A sample of calcium oxide (CaO) has a mass of 2.80 g. The molar mass of CaO is 56.08 g/mol. How many moles of CaO does this sample contain?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer is "0.05 mol".

Explanation;

We can do calculation by using a simple formula as

n = m/M

Where, n is the number of moles of the substance (mol), m is the mass of the substance (g) and M is the molar mass of the substance (g/mol).

Here,

n = ?

m = 2.80 g

M = 56.08 g/mol

By substitution,

n = 2.80 g /56.08 g/mol

n = 0.0499 mol ≈ 0.05 mol

Which factor is MOST important in determining which minerals will form in a rock?A) The size of the rock.
B) The weight of the rock.
C) The hardness of the rock.
D) The composition of the rock.

Answers

The answer for this question is: The factor that is MOST important in determining which minerals will form in a rock D) The composition of the rock. This is because minerals actually exist as different chemical compounds. By knowing the chemical compounds present in a rock, you can find out what type of mineral is present as well. 

Answer:

Its D.

How does oxygen get into the cell in order for cellular respiration to occur?A.Diffusion
B.Exocytosis
C.Osmosis
D.Endocytosis

Answers

Answer:

A. Diffusion

Explanation:

A.Diffusion  - this is correct. Diffusion is the process where small molecules enter the cell by moving from a high concentration to a low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

B.Exocytosis  - this is incorrect. Exocytosis is a cell transport mechanism where the cell uses a system of vesicles to transport cargo outside of the cell. The vesicles fuse to the cell membrane and deliver the cargo outside.

C.Osmosis  - this is incorrect, osmosis is a type of diffusion specific to water molecules

D.Endocytosis - this is incorrect. Endoocytosis is a cell transport mechanism where the cell uses a system of vesicles to transport cargo into the cell. The cell membrane engulfs the molecules and brings them into the cell via the vesicle
