Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. Cup A holds water. Cup B contains alcohol. Your teacher cha

llenges you to figure out which cup holds water. Because of your great science knowledge, you know that all substances have their own special properties. You and your lab partner add an ice cube to each cup. The ice floats in one liquid. You predict it is water. And the ice sinks in the other liquid. You predict that liquid is alcohol. What type of property of matter did you use to identify the liquids?

Density because ice is less dense than water, therefore it floats
However, ice is more dense than alcohol, so it sinks

When 1.2383 g of an organic iron compound containing Fe, C, H, and O was burned in O2, 2.3162 g of CO2 and 0.66285 g of H2O were
uysha [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}

Explanation:

Let's call the unknown compound X.

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 1.23383 g of X.

(a) Mass of C

\text{Mass of C} = \text{2.3162 g } \text{CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{0.632 07 g C}

(b) Mass of H

\text{Mass of H} = \text{0.66285 g }\text{H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g } \text{{H$_{2}$O}}} = \text{0.074 157 g H}

(c)Mass of Fe

(i)In 0.4131g of X

\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.093 33 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}\times \dfrac{\text{111.69 g Fe}}{\text{159.69 g g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}} = \text{0.065 277 g Fe}

(ii) In 1.2383 g of X

\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.065277 g Fe}\times \dfrac{1.2383}{0.4131} = \text{0.195 67 g Fe}

(d)Mass of O

Mass of O = 1.2383 - 0.632 07 - 0.074 157 - 0.195 67 = 0.336 40 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

\text{Moles of C = 0.63207 g C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mol C}}{\text{12.01 g C }} = \text{0.052 629 mol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 0.074157 g H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H}}{\text{1.008 g H}} = \text{0.073 568 mol H}\\\\\text{Moles of Fe = 0.195 67 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.845 g Fe}} = \text{0.003 5038 mol Fe}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 0.336 40} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}}{\text{16.00 g O}} = \text{0.021 025 mol O}

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

\text{C: } \dfrac{0.052629}{0.003 5038}= 15.021\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{0.073568}{0.003 5038} = 20.997\\\\\text{Fe: } \dfrac{0.003 5038}{0.003 5038} = 1\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{0.021025}{0.003 5038} = 6.0006

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O:Fe = 15:21:1:6

5. Write the empirical formula

\text{The empirical formula is } \boxed{\textbf{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}

A gas bottle contains 8. 61×1023 oxygen molecules at a temperature of 359. 0 k. what is the thermal energy of the gas? (you migh
Cloud [144]

A gas bottle contains 8. 61×1023 oxygen molecules at a temperature of 359. 0 k then the thermal energy of the gas is 6.35KJ.

<h3>What is thermal energy? </h3>

Thermal energy is the energy contained within a system which is responsible for its temperature. Heat is also termed as flow of thermal energy.

Thermal energy is directly proportional to the temperature. As temperature increase thermal energy increases.

Given,

temperature = 395K

Number of oxygen molecules= 8.61 × 10^(23)

Firstly we will calculate the number of moles = N/A

where A is the avagadro number = 6.022 × 10^(23)

number of moles = 8.61 × 10^(23)/6.022 ×10^(23)

number of moles = 1.42moles

Using the energy equation,

E = 3/2 × nRT

where R is the gas constant = 8.314J/molK

E = 3/2 × 1.42 × 8.314 × 359

= 6357.4J

= 6.35KJ

Thus, we found that the thermal energy of the gas is 6.35KJ.

How do you balance this Chemical Equation? <br>C5H12O + O2 = CO2 + H2O​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The chemical equation by putting, a 2 on C₅H₁₂O, 15 on O₂, 10 on CO₂ , and 12 on H₂O in the equation;

2C₅H₁₂O + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O​

Explanation:

  • Chemical equations are balanced by putting coefficients on the reactants and products to ensure the total number of atoms on the left side equal to those on the right side.
  • Balancing chemical equations is done to make chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants should always be equal to the mass of products.
  • This is done by balancing chemical equations to ensure the total number of atoms on the left side is equal to that on the right side.
  • Therefore, the balanced equation is;

          2C₅H₁₂O + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O​
