5. Consider the following experiment: A block of iron with an initial mass of 50 g is placed in a sealed container of pure oxyge

n. After several days, the block is red in color and has a mass of 74 g. Are these observations a violation of the law of conservation of mass? Justify your answer.

The observation in the illustration remains in accordance with the law of conservation of mass assuming that moisture is present in the container.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

The law state that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. However, mass can be converted from one form to another.

In this case, the ion was placed in a container of pure oxygen. Assuming that moisture is present, iron reacts with oxygen to form rust according to the following equation:

4Fe + 3O_2 + 6H_2O --- > 4Fe(OH)_3

The rust formed will weigh more than the initial weight of the iron.

Without the presence of moisture, one can effectively conclude that the observation violates the law of conservation of mass.

Consider the neutralization reaction 2 HNO 3 ( aq ) + Ba ( OH ) 2 ( aq ) ⟶ 2 H 2 O ( l ) + Ba ( NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) A 0.120 L sample
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The concentration of the HNO3 solution is 0.150 M

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the unknown HNO3 sample = 0.120 L

Volume of the 0.200 M Ba(OH)2 = 45.1 mL

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 ⟶ Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles Ba(OH)2

moles Ba(OH)2 = molarity * volume

moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.200 M * 0.0451 L

moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.00902 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of HNO3

For 1 mole of Ba(OH)2 we need 2 moles of HNO3

For 0.00902 moles of Ba(OH)2 we need 2*0.00902 = 0.01804 moles

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate molarity of HNO3

molarity = moles / volume

molarity = 0.01804 / 0.120 L

Molarity = 0.150 M HNO3

The concentration of the HNO3 solution is 0.150 M

This compound, an eight-carbon alkane, serves as the 100 octane standard for gasoline. It has five methyl groups, one quaternary
Reika [66]

Answer:

2,2,4-Trimethyl-pentane

Explanation:

Structural characteristics of the compound is as follows:

  • Has five methyl group
  • Has one quaternary carbon
  • No. double bond
  • Gives four monochloro substitution products

Compound must have straight chain of 5 carbons.

Three methyl substituents are attached to 2 and 4 carbons.

Therefore, IUPAC name of the compound will be 2,2,4-Trimethyl-pentane.

Naturally occurring indium has two isotopes, indium-113(112.9040580 amu) and Indium-115 (114.9038780 amu. The atomic mass of ind
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter c (96%)

Explanation:

Indium -113 (112-9040580 amu) ₁₁₃In

Indium-115 (114.9038780 amu)  ₁₁₅In

Atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 amu ₁₁₄.₈₂In

Formula

Atomic mass = m₁(%₁) +m₂(%₂)  / 100

%₁ = x I established this is an equation

%₂ = 100 - x

Substituting values

114.82 = 112.8040x + 114.9039(100-x) /100    and know we expand and simplify

114.82 = 112.8040x + 11490.39 - 114.9039x  /100

11482 = 112.8040x -114.9039x +11490.39

11482 - 11490.39 = 112.8040x -114.9039x

-8.39 = -2.099x

x = 3.99

Then % of Indium-115 = 100 - 3.99 = 96
