How should you measure the mass of a given powdered substance??

1 answer:

6 0

To measure the mass of a given powdered substance do the following:
1. Zero the weighing balance, that is, put the weigh balance at zero mark.
2. Put an empty weighing paper on the balance and take its reading. Record it as X1.
3. Use spatula to put the powder you want to measure on the weighing paper on the balance. Take your reading and record it as X2.
The mass of the powered is X2 - X1.

A sample of 4.0 L of nitrogen, at 1.2 atmospheres, is transferred to a 12 L container.

Answer:

The pressure will be 0.4 atm.

Explanation:

The gas laws are a set of chemical and physical laws that allow determining the behavior of gases in a closed system. The parameters evaluated in these laws are pressure, volume, temperature and moles.

As the volume increases, the gas particles (atoms or molecules) take longer to reach the walls of the container and therefore collide with them less times per unit of time. This means that the pressure will be lower because it represents the frequency of collisions of the gas against the walls. In this way pressure and volume are related, determining Boyle's law which says:

"The volume occupied by a certain gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure"

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

P*V= k

If you initially have the gas at a volume V1 and press P1, when the conditions change to a volume V2 and pressure P2, the following is satisfied:

P1*V1= P2*V2

In this case:

P1= 1.2 atm
V1= 4 L
P2= ?
V2= 12 L

Replacing:

1.2 atm* 4 L= P2* 12 L

Solving:

$P2=\frac{1.2 atm*4 L}{12 L}$

P2= 0.4 atm

The pressure will be 0.4 atm.

Name the functional group in the following molecule:

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. Aromatic

Explanation:

Functional groups are groups that differentiate a specific organic compound from others. A functional group determines the chemical property of the compound that possesses it.

For example, just like alkene and alcohol functional groups have characteristics double bond (=) and hydroxyl (OH) group respectively, the image in the attachment of this question has a BENZENE RING at the core of its structure, hence, the organic compound can be regarded to have an AROMATIC FUNCTIONAL GROUP.

How do the fusion reaction in the sun compare to the fusion occurring in large atars and supernovas

r-ruslan [8.4K]

The fusion reaction in the sun is a combination of hydrogen atoms fusing to create helium. The fusion reaction in larger stars involve much heavier elements like oxygen and iron. In supernovas, often elements like gold are produced
