An experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that peanuts have more energy than a chip. The experiment determines calorimet

ry of the peanut and the chip, using water to capture the energy of the samples when they were burned. A 10 g sample of chip and a 15 g sample of peanut was burned underneath a metal can that held 50 g of water. A thermometer captured how much the temperature of the water increased. The water increased by 7 degrees for the peanut and 3 degrees for the chip. What error was made?
a The temperatures were read wrong.
b Different amounts of food samples were used.
c The food samples were too similar.
d Different amounts of water were used.

If I leave 750 mL of a 0.40 M sodium chloride solution uncovered on a windowsill
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B. 0.5 molar

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial concentration = 0.40 M

Initial volume = 750 mL

Final volume =750  -  150 mL = 600 mL

Final concentration = ?

Solution:

Molarity is the number of moles of solutes in litter of solvent. In given problem it is stated that when the solution is uncovered solvent evaporate it means molarity is changed. we can calculate the new molarity with the following formula.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

C₁ = initial concentration

V₁ = initial volume

C₂ = final concentration

V₂ = final volume

Now we will put the values in formula.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

0.40 M × 750 mL = C₂ × 600 mL

300 M.mL / 600 mL = C₂

0.5 M = C₂

Y = 57.15 − 0.5 X If Y equals 5 , what is X ?<br><br> Then is Y=3, what is X?
Fiesta28 [93]

When y equals 5, x is 104.3

When y equals 3 then x is 108.3

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

y = 57.15 - 0.5x

<h3><u>If y equals 5 what is x ?</u></h3>

Substitute y = 5 in given expression

5 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)

5 = 57.15 - 0.5x

0.5x = 57.15 - 5

0.5x = 52.15

Divide both sides by 0.5

x = 104.3

Thus when y equals 5, x is 104.3

<h3><u>If y = 3 what is x ?</u></h3>

Substitute y = 3 in given expression

3 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)

3 = 57.15 - 0.5x

0.5x = 57.15 - 3

0.5x = 54.15

Divide both sides by 0.5

x = 108.3

Thus when y equals 3 then x is 108.3

State the types of change that take place in each of the following
atroni [7]

Answer:

Chemical changes

Explanation:

a)Burning a piece of charcoal - chemical change

b) Heating copper (ii) carbonate strongly - chemical change

c) Heating Zinc oxide strongly - chemical change

The given types of reaction indicates chemical changes. A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter is formed. It is always accompanied by energy changes. The process is not easily reversible and hence, it is a permanent procedure.

 Burning of charcoal produces a new kind of produces in the combustion process.

Both heating of copper(ii)carbonate strongly and zinc oxide will lead to a decomposition reaction in which new compounds are formed.
