The weight of the container after the wax hardens is 0.18 N.

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

We know that according to the law of the conservation of mass, the mass of an object can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be changed from one form to the other.

Looking at this law, we know that the mass would not change even after the time that the wax must have hardened. The total mass of the wax would have to be a constant.

Total mass would now be;

Mass of the wax + mass of the container

= 3 g + 15 g

= 18 g

Weight = 18/1000 * 9.8 m/s^2

= 0.18 N

Calculate the number of grams of solute in 814.2mL of 0.227 M calcium acetate

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Mass = 29.23 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 814.2 mL 814.2/1000 = 0.8142 L)

Molarity of solution = 0.227 M

Mass of solute in gram = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

0.227 M = number of moles / 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.227 M × 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.184 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of calcium acetate = 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 0.184 mol × 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 29.23 g

How many moles of silicon are in 5.9 X 10 to the 24 power atoms of silicon

Dimas [21]

Answer:

9.79740949850 moles

Explanation:

1 mole = Avogardo's Number <<6.022 E 23 <<particles, atoms, etc.>>
This problem can be solved using dimensional analysis by multiplying atoms (5.9E24 atoms) by (1) mole and then dividing the number by Avogardo's number (6.022 E 23 atoms).
Note: E = * 10

Side Note: Please let me know if you need any clarifications about this!

Write Qc for each of the following:(1) Gaseous sulfur tetrafluoride reacts with liquid water to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide a

snow_tiger [21]

Answer : The expression for reaction quotient will be :

(1) $Q_c=\frac{[SO_2][HF]^4}{[SF_4]}$

(2) $Q_c=\frac{[O_2]^2[Xe]}{[XeF_2]}$

Explanation :

Reaction quotient $(Q_c)$ : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

(1) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$SF_4(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+4HF(g)$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q_c=\frac{[SO_2][HF]^4}{[SF_4]}$

(2) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2MoO_2(s)+XeF_2(g)\rightarrow 2MoF(l)+Xe(g)+2O_2(g)[/texIn this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :[tex]Q_c=\frac{[O_2]^2[Xe]}{[XeF_2]}$
