When the equation Fe + Cl2 ----> FeCl3 is correctly balanced the coefficient for Cl2 is

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is D. Using the law of conservation of mass the number of atoms on each side of the equation should be equal. Through introspection, we find that there are 2 $Cl$ atoms on reactant side as opposed 3Cl atoms on product side. If we add a coefficient of 3 on $Cl_2$ we get

$Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> FeCl_3$ .

Now there are 6Cl atoms on reactant side and 2 on product side, hence we add a coefficient of 2 on both $FeCl_3$ and $Fe$ . The balanced chemical equation is,

$2Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> 2FeCl_3$

How many moles are in 442.8 g of strontium carbonate (SrCO3)?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

SrCO3

Mass = 442.8g

Molar mass = (87.6 + 12 * [16*3]) = 147.6g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 442.8 / 147.6

Number of moles = 3

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}$

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: $_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}$

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

A graduated cylinder contains 20.8 mL of water. What is the new water level, in milliliters, after 35.2 g of silver metal is sub

stepladder [879]

Answer: The new water level of the cylinder is 24.16 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of water displaced by silver, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of silver = 10.49 g/mL

Mass of silver = 35.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10.49g/mL=\frac{35.2g}{\text{Volume of silver}}\\\\\text{Volume of silver}=\frac{35.2g}{10.49g/mL}=3.36mL$

We are given:

Volume of graduated cylinder = 20.8 mL

New water level of the cylinder = Volume of graduated cylinder + Volume of water displaced by silver

New water level of the cylinder = (20.8 + 3.36) mL = 24.16 mL

Hence, the new water level of the cylinder is 24.16 mL

A 48.0g sample of quartz, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.730·J·g−1°C−1, is dropped into an insulated container containi

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the water is 26.7 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample quartz = 48.0 grams

Specific heat capacity of the sample = 0.730 J/g°C

Initial temperature of the sample = 88.6°C

Mass of the water = 300.0 grams

Initial temperature = 25.0°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate final temperature

Qlost = -Qgained

Qquartz = - Qwater

Q =m*c*ΔT

Q = m(quartz)*c(quartz)*ΔT(quartz) = -m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of the quartz = 48.0 grams

⇒ c(quartz) = the specific heat capacity of quartz = 0.730 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(quartz) = The change of temperature of the sample = T2 -88.6 °C

⇒ mass of water = 300.0 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT= (water) = the change in temperature of water = T2 - 25.0°C

48.0 * 0.730 * (T2-88.6) -300.0 * 4.184 *(T2 - 25.0)

35.04(T2-88.6) = -1255.2 (T2-25)

35.04T2 -3104.544 = -1255.2T2 + 31380

1290.24T2 = 34484.544

T2 = 26.7 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the water is 26.7 °C
