Copper substance cannot be decomposed by a chemical change.

<h3 />

When heated, the copper to carbonate breaks down into copper to oxide. The copper carbonate, which is dark in colour, releases carbon dioxide as well.Because they are the simplest chemically, elements cannot be broken down by chemical processes.

Elements are those pure compounds that cannot be broken down by reactions, heating, electrolysis, or other common chemical processes. Examples of elements are oxygen, gold, and silver. Its makeup stays the same, though. One instance of a physical change is melting. A physical change is when a sample of matter experiences a change in some of its qualities but not in its identity. Water turns into water vapour when it is heated.

Answer:

$C_2H_6O$

Explanation:

The first step is the calculation of the moles of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ , so:

$114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2$

$70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O$

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1 mol of C and in 1 mol of $H_2O$ we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to calculate the grams of C and O and then do the substraction form the initial amount, so:

$2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C$

$3.9~mol~H_2O\frac{2~mol~H}{1~mol~H_2O}\frac{1~g~H}{1~mol~H}=7.82~g~of~H$

$Total~grams=~31.25~+~7.82=39.08~g$

$grams~of~O=60.00~g-~39.08~g=20.92~g~of~O$

Now we can convert the grams of O to moles, so:

$20.92~g~of~O\frac{1~mol~O}{16~g~O}=1.30~mol~O$

The next step is to divide all the mol values by the smallest one:

$O=\frac{1.30~mol~O}{1.30~mol~O}=~1$

$C=\frac{2.6~mol~C}{1.30~mol~O}=~2$

$H=\frac{7.82~mol~H}{1.30~mol~O}=6$

Therefore the formula is $C_2H_6O$

A substance releases 2,192 J of heat, changing its temperature from 50 degrees C to 5 degrees C. The mass of the substance is 73

Gre4nikov [31]

The specific heat capacity of the given substance is -0.66 J/g°C.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by any substance is the product of its mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

q = m × c × ΔT

m is the mass in grams

q = amount of heat released or absorbed in J

ΔT = change in temperature in °C = 5 -50 = -45°C

c = specific heat capacity in J/g°C

c = $$\frac{q}{m \times dT}$

Plugin the values, we will get,

c = $$\frac{2192 }{73.9 \times-45}$

= -0.66 J/g°C

. The freezing point of an aqueous solution containing a nonelectrolyte solute is – 2.79 °C. What is the boiling point of this s

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Boiling point of the solution is 100.78°C

Explanation:

This is about colligative properties.

First of all, we need to calculate molality from the freezing point depression.

ΔT = Kf . m . i

As the solute is nonelectrolyte, i = 1

0°C - (-2.79°C) = 1.86 °C/m . m . 1

2.79°C / 1.86 m/°C = 1.5 m

Now, we go to the boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Final T° - 100°C = 0.52 °C/m . 1.5m . 1

Final T° = 0.52 °C/m . 1.5m . 1 + 100°C → 100.78°C
