Which of the following statements is true?

1 answer:

6 0

Generally in science and the natural world, when you break big things down into more pieces you increase disorder. In the natural universe the second law of thermodynamics tells us that disorder is increased in a closed system. I would say c. fission releases more energy than fusion. because bringing things together requires work and consumes energy. breaking things apart releases energy.

when carbon is burned in the air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. when 22.8 g of carbon were burned in the presenc

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

Explanation:

Burning carbon with air has the following equation

C + O2 → CO2

For 1 mol Carbon, we have 1 mol O2 and 1 mol CO2

Step 2: Calculating moles

mole C = 22.8g / 12g/mole

Mole C = 1.9 mole

1.9 mole C will completely react

Since for each mole C there is 1 mole O2 and 1 mole CO2

This means there will also react 1.9 mole of 02, to be formed 1.9 mole of CO2

mole CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

mass CO2 = 1.9 mole CO2 * 44g/mole =<u>83.6g CO2</u>

In this reaction 18.2 g of O2 remained unreacted

we can control this: 79g - 18.2 g = 60.8g

1.9 mole * 32g/mol = 60.8g

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

What<br>was the initial volume of the hydrogen in cm3?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

255.51cm3

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) =?

T1 (initial temperature) = 50°C = 50 + 273 = 323K

T2 (final temperature) = - 5°C = - 5 + 237 = 268K

V2 (final volume) = 212cm3

Using the Charles' law equation V1/T1 = V2/T2, the initial volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1/323 = 212/268

Cross multiply to express in linear form

V1 x 268 = 323 x 212

Divide both side by 268

V1 = (323 x 212)/268

V1 = 255.51cm3

Therefore, the initial volume of the gas is 255.51cm3

Calculate the percentage by mass of the indicated element in the following compounds. Hydrogen in ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6, also k

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: The mass percent of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %

Explanation:

In $C_6H_8O_6$ , there are 6 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of ascorbic acid}}\times 100$

Mass of hydrogen = $8\times 1g/mol=8g$

Molar Mass of ascorbic acid = $6\times 12g/mol+8\times 1g/mol+6\times 16g/mol=176g$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{8g}{176}\times 100=4.5\%$

Hence, the mass percent of of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %.

Why do people want different kinds of light bulbs?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

LED bulbs fit standard light sockets and are the most energy-efficient option. LEDs have lower wattage than incandescent bulbs but emit the same light output. This allows them to produce the same amount of light but use less energy. LEDs can last over 20 years and don't contain mercury
