Answer:

distillation

Explanation:

Actually, distillation is used to separate liquids from nonvolatile solids, as in the separation of alcoholic liquors from fermented materials, or in the separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points, as in the separation of gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oil from crude oil.

179.1 g of water is in a Styrofoam calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. The initial T of the water is 16.1oC. After 306.9 g

taurus [48]

Answer:

the specific heat of the unknown compound is $c_u=0.412J/g \cdot C$

Explanation:

Generally the change in temperature of water is evaluated as

$\Delta T = T_2 -T_1$

Substituting 16.1°C for $T_1$ and 27.4°C for $T_2$

$\Delta T = 27.4 - 16.1$

$=11.3^oC$

Generally the change in temperature of unknown compound is evaluated as

$\Delta T_u = T_3 -T_2$

Substituting 27.4°C for $T_2$ and 94.3°C for $T_3$

$\Delta T = 94.3 - 27.4$

$=66.9^oC$

Since there is an increase in temperature then heat is gained by water and this can be evaluated as

$H_w = mc_w \Delta T$

Substituting 179.1 g for m , 4.18 J/g.C for $c_w$ (specific heat of water)

$H_w = 4.18 * 179.1 * 11.3$

$= 8459.6J$

Since there is a decrease in temperature then heat is lost by unknown compound and this can be evaluated as

$H_u = m_uc_u \Delta T_u$

By conservation of energy law

Heat lost = Heat gained

Substituting 306.9 g for $m_u$ , 8459.6J for $H_u$

$8459.6 = 306.9 * c_u * 66.9$

Therefore $c_u = \frac{8459.6}{308.9 *66.9}$

$=0.412J/g \cdot C$

Describe two ways you think a sound wave could be stopped or could change change direction.

Alla [95]

Answer:

Like any wave, a sound wave doesn't just stop when it reaches the end of the medium or when it encounters an obstacle in its path. Rather, a sound wave will undergo certain behaviors when it encounters the end of the medium or an obstacle. Possible behaviors include reflection off the obstacle, diffraction around the obstacle, and transmission (accompanied by refraction) into the obstacle or new medium

The arrows below represent the velocities of two vehicles. Which claim explains why the velocity of each vehicle is a vector qua

ollegr [7]

Answer:

It has direction and size.

Explanation:

All physical quantities are generally grouped into two;

i) Vector quantities

ii) Scalar quantities

Vector quantities are those quantities that has both magnitude (size) and direction.

Scalar quantities are those quantities that has magnitude (size) and no direction.

Velocity is a vector quantity because it has direction and size.

Give the o.N. Of each of the elements magnesium and oxygen in the reactants and in the products 2Mg + O2=2MgO

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the rules for the oxidation states in chemical reactions, it is possible to realize that lone elements have 0 and since magnesium is in group 2A, it forms the cation Mg⁺² as it loses electrons and oxygen is in group 6A so it forms the anion O⁻²; therefore resulting oxidation numbers are:

$2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}$

Best regards!
