Answer:

The heat given off by the burning Mg is 30.5 kJ/grams or 745.5 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of magnesium sample = 0.1149 grams

Molar mass of magnesium = 24.3 g/mol

bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1769 J/°C

Mass of water = 321 grams

Temperature change = 1.126 °C

Step 2: Calculated heat released

Q = (1769 J/°C * 1.126 °C) + (321 grams * 4.184 J/g°C * 1.126 °C)

Q = 3504.18 J =3.504 kJ

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate the heat given off by the burning Mg, in kJ/g

3.504 kJ / 0.1149 grams = 30.5 kJ/grams

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of Magnesium

Moles of magnesium = mass magnesium / Molar mass magnesium

Moles magnesium = 0.1149 grams / 24.3 g/mol

Moles magnesium = 0.0047 moles

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate the heat given off by the burning Mg, in kJ/mol

3.504 kJ / 0.0047 moles = 745.5 kJ/mol

The heat given off by the burning Mg is 30.5 kJ/grams or 745.5 kJ/mol

What evidence suggests that global climate change is causing the oceans to get warmer?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

A large point of evidence in this would be the rate of increase in how fast the polar ice caps are melting and the ocean is rising as a result. As the climate is getting warmer so are the oceans and this is causing the ice caps which are in the ocean.

The measured voltage of an electrochemical cell consisting of pure nickel immersed in a solution of Ni2+ ions of unknown concent
Verizon [17]

Answer:

[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use the Nernst equation which (in standard conditions of temperature)

E = E° - RT/nF lnQ

However R and F are constant, and the reaction is taking place in 25 °C so we can assume the nernst equation like this:

E = E° - 0.05916/n logQ

As the nickel is in the cathode, this means that this element is being reducted while Cadmium is being oxidized, therefore the REDOX reaction would be:

Cd(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) --------> Cd²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)

With this, Q:

Q = [Cd²⁺] / [Ni²⁺]

Now, we need to know the value of the standard reduction potentials, which can be calculated with the semi equations of reduction and oxidation:

Cd(s) ------------> Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻       E°₁ = 0.40 V

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ -------------> Ni(s)        E°₂ = -0.25 V

E° = E°₁ + E°₂

E° = 0.40 - 0.25 = 0.15 V

Now that we have all the data, we can solve for the [Ni²⁺]:

0.133 = 0.15 - 0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.133 - 0.15 = -0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017 = -0.02958 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017/-0.02958 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.5747 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

10^(0.5747) = 5/[Ni²⁺]

[Ni²⁺] = 5/3.7558

<h2>[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M</h2>

Explain the units and how to solve the following metric conversion then solve the metric conversion by filling in the blank 12KM
LiRa [457]

Answer:- 12 km = 12000 m

Solution:- It's a metric unit conversion where we are asked to convert 12 km to m where km stands for kilometer and m stands for meter.

In metric conversions, kilo means 1000.

So, 1 km = 1000 m

It means,  we multiply the given km by 1000 to get the answer in m as:

12km(\frac{1000m}{1km})

= 12000 m

Hence, 12 km = 12000 m.
