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.

Which of the following statements holds true for a chemical change?
ad-work [718]

Answer : The correct option is C.

Explanation :

Chemical change : It is defined as a change in which a new compounds are formed by the chemical reaction. Changes occurs in their chemical composition and properties.

The molecular structure of a substance changes in a chemical reaction is a chemical change.

  • Change in molecular structure means that there is a breaking and formation of bonds in a molecule.

The example of chemical change in terms of change in molecular structure is the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen.

The reaction of hydrogen with oxygen is,

H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

In this reaction, the H-H bond is break and O-H bond is form.

What exactly is a proton? Is it a member of the periodic table?
Pavel [41]

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons define the identity of an element (i.e., an element with 6 protons is a carbon atom, no matter how many neutrons may be present).

A solution contains 15.27 grams of NaCl in 0.670 kg water at 25 °C. What is the vapor pressure of the solution?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The vapor pressure of the solution is 23.636 torr

Explanation:

P_{solution} = X_{solvent}*P_{solvent}

Where;

P_{solution is the vapor pressure of the solution

X_{solvent is the mole fraction of the solvent

P_{solvent is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent

Thus,

15.27 g of NaCl = [(15.27)/(58.5)]moles = 0.261 moles of NaCl

0.67 kg of water =  [(0.67*1000)/(18)]moles = 37.222 moles of H₂O

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (number of moles of water)/(total number of moles present in solution)

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (37.222)/(37.222+0.261)

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = 0.993

<u>Note:</u> the vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 0.0313 atm

Therefore, the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.993 * 0.0313 atm

the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.0311 atm = 23.636 torr
