Gaseous vapor observed when handling dry ice (solid co_2 2 ) physical or chemical

3 0

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It is easy to assume that the fog surrounds dry ice is carbon dioxide returning to it's gaseous however, you can not see that process. The vapors you see is the water molecules in the air condensing as a result of the cooling or energy removal by the dry ice. When energy is removed from water molecules they become colder and move slower than water in a gaseous. Similar to clouds in the air, the water condenses into a form that you can see.

A certain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. If the sugar to

12345 [234]

Answer:

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{8}{200} =\frac{1}{25}$
