Answer:
a. add a little distilled water to see which layer the water adds to
Explanation:
The problem tells us to keep in mind two major aspects of the test: It has to be <em>simple</em>, as well as <em>non-destructive</em>:
- Adding distilled water can be made in under a minute, without requiring specialized laboratory equipment, unlike IR.
- It is also non-destructive, because the contents on either layer won't change due to the added distilled water.
The specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal is equal to 0.32 J/g°C.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Quantity of energy = 400 Joules
- Initial temperature = 20°C
To determine the specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal:
<h3>
The formula for quantity of heat.</h3>
Mathematically, quantity of heat is given by the formula;

<u>Where:</u>
- Q represents the quantity of heat.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- c represents the specific heat capacity.
- ∅ represents the change in temperature.
Making c the subject of formula, we have:

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Specific heat, c = 0.32 J/g°C.

Answer:
The limiting reactant is H₂
Explanation:
The reaction of hydrogen (H₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) to produce methanol (CH₃OH) is the following:
2H₂(g) + CO(g) → CH₃OH(g)
From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that 1 mol of CO reacts wIth 2 moles of H₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is:
2 mol H₂/1 mol CO = 2.0
We have 500 mol of CO and 750 mol of H₂, so we calculate the ratio to establish a comparison:
750 mol H₂/500 mol CO = 1.5
Since 2.0 > 1.5, we have fewer moles of H₂ than are needed to completely react with 500 moles of CO. In fact, we need 1000 moles of H₂ and we have 750 moles. So, the limiting reactant is H₂.
