C_{x}H_{y} + O_{2} --\ \textgreater \  x CO_{2} + \frac{y}{2} H{2}O

540mg H_{2}O* \frac{1 mmol H_{2}O}{18 mg H_{2}O} =30 mmol H_{2}O

\\ \\30 mmolH_{2}O   -have  -  60 mmol H
\\  \\ 60 mmol H* \frac{1mg H}{1 mmol H}    =60 mg H
\\ \\300mg C_{x}H_{y} - 60 mg H= 240 mg C
\\ \\ 240 mgC* \frac{1mmol}{12mg} =20 mmol C

20 mmol C: 60 mmol H=1 mol C : 3 mol H

What is the mass of a sample of iron if that sample lost 2300J of heat energy when it cooled from 80 oC to 30°C? The specific he
irakobra [83]
102 grams.
Equation:
Quantify of heat = mass x specific heat x difference in temperature
We have: quantity of heat : 2300J
specific heat: .449 J/g
difference in t: 80 - 30 = 50
Solve for mass: 2300 = mass x 0.449 x 50
mass = 102.449

In the following reaction, H3PO4 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ H2PO4– (aq) + H3O+ (aq) what happens when more H2PO4– (aq) is added to the sol
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The concentration of H₃PO₄ will increase.

Explanation:

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when we apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

If we add more H₂PO₄⁻, the position of equilibrium will move to the left to get rid of the added H₂PO₄⁻.

The concentration of H₃PO₄ will increase.
