A student makes observations when water is added to a blue solution of copper sulfate. The student makes only 1 observation: the

solution changes to a lighter shade of blue. Is this an example of a chemical reaction? Explain your reasoning.

<span>No, I believe this is not an example of a chemical reaction. What we actually see here is a physical change of the solution. Since we are adding more water to an aqueous solution which is also made up mostly of water, what we are simply basically doing is dilution. Since the solution is being diluted, so definitely the color turned lighter.</span>

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 50g of a substance by 15c when the specific heat is 0.92?
kirill [66]
The  heat  needed  to  raise  the  temperature   of  50g  of  substance  by    15 c   is  calculated as   follows

Heat  =   mc delta  T

m= mass   (50g)
c=  specific  heat  capacity  (0.92)
delta T=  change  in  temperature(  15 c)

heat  is  therefore=   50   x  0.92  x  15  =  690   

Nb:
  my   answer  has  no  units  since   the   given   specific  heat  capacity  has   no  units

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01, hydrogen is 1.01, and oxygen is 16.00. What is the molar mass of glucose (C6H12O6)?
kotykmax [81]
To find out the molar mass, you have to break down each of the elements, then add them up.

C6 = 12.01 x 6 = 72.06   (Beacause, there are 6 carbon atoms)
H12 = 1.01 x 12 = 12.12  (Because, there are 12 hydrogen atoms)
O6 = 16.00 x 6 =  96  (Because there are 6 oxygen atoms)

Now, you will add all three of the elements up: 72.06 + 12.12 + 96 = 180.18.

So the molar mass of glucose is 180.18.

Which of the following descriptions would not be considered a chemical property of the substance?
Margaret [11]
Answer: D. sugar dissolves when placed in water.

Why:
Chemical properties/changes produce NEW substances.

So when sugar dissolves in water, it breaks down, but NOT to a chemical level that separates its elements. Therefore, it would still be sugar and will not create a new compound/element.

This results in the conclusion that when sugar dissolves in water, it is a physical property, NOT chemical.
