The average density of the peat moss in units of g/cm³ is 2.52 g/cm³

<h3>How to convert 40 lb to grams (g)</h3>

We'lol begin by converting 40 lb to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

40 lb = (40 × 453.592) / 1 lb

40 lb = 18143.68 g

<h3>How to convert 1.9 gal to cm³</h3>

We can convert 1.9 gal to cm³ as follow:

1 gal = 3785.41 cm³

Therefore,

1.9 gal = (1.9 gal × 3785.41 cm³) / 1 gal

1.9 gal = 7192.279 cm³

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

The density can be obtained as follow:

  • Mass = 18143.68 g
  • Volume = 7192.279 cm³
  • Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 18143.68 / 7192.279

Density = 2.52 g/cm³

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
andrezito [222]

The given statement is True.


This is single replacement reaction.

As reactivity decreases down the group,

Iodine is less reactive than Chlorine.  

And so Iodine cannot replace chlorine from FeCl2.

I2 + FeCl2 ---> no reaction (Iodine is less reactive than chlorine)

A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 783 J/oC and contains 254 g of water whose specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/goC. How
IrinaK [193]

Answer : The amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

q=[q_1+q_2]

q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

q_1 = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q_2 = heat absorbed by the water

c_1 = specific heat of calorimeter = 783J/^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_2 = mass of water = 254 g

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(23.73-26.01)=-2.28^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=[(783J/^oC\times -2.28^oC)+(254g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times -2.28^oC)]

q=-4208.28J=-4.81kJ

Therefore, the amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

at standard pressure how do the boiling point and the freezing point of NaCl compare to the boiling point and freezing point of
Ede4ka [16]
Usually in this context you would be referring to the boiling and freezing point of a NaCl <em>solution</em> (saltwater) compared to pure H_{2}O. Sematics would be different for NaCl compound itself, you would say melting and boiling point for a solid substance- and the temperatures would be very, very radical (high). 
The boiling point of pure water is 100 degrees C (212 F), and the freezing/melting point is below 0 degrees C (32 F). For a salt water solution, the boiling point is raised and the melting point is lowered. This means that water will stay liquid for an increased range of temperature. Depending on the amount of NaCl solute in the water, the boiling and melting points may change a few degrees.
