It would be reasonable to assume that the specific heats of NaOH and HCl solutions are the same as water given that the concentration of these solutions are low about 1 M or less.  Having low concentrations would mean that there is only small amount of particles of HCl or NaOH in the solution so most of the properties of the solution is the same as that of a pure water since less particles can interfere with any process. Specific heat is the amount of heat energy needed per mass in order to be able to raise the temperature by a degree. So, when these particles are present in small amount, it is only the water that would determine the amount of heat needed.

Carbon disulfide is prepared industrially by reacting carbon with sulfur dioxide according to the above equation. If 70.8 g of c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.

Explanation:

We present the reaction:

5C + 2SO₂  →  CS₂  +  4CO

5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:

70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles

Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂

Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles

Outline the difference between compounds and mixtures. State two examples of each.
alekssr [168]

Compounds are elements and its a pure substance with a gised composition.

Mixtures two or more subtances mixed to together.There are 2 type of mixtures.

Homegenous Mixtures (Solutions)-Two or more substances mixed but is uniform, you cant see the different mixtures.

Ex:Sugar mixed with water.The sugar dissolves and becomes one with the water.

Heterogeneous Mixtures-Two or more substances mixed but is not uniformed.You can see all the substances put into the mixture.

Ex:A salad, you can see whats all mixed in the sald and can pick it apart.

Compare and contrast physical changes with chemical changes.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.
