Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element chemically combines with another element in a fixed ratio by mass then it results into the formation of a compound.

A compound can be separated into its constituent particles only by chemical means and not by any physical means.

An element is a substance which contains only one type or kind of atoms.

For example, a piece of sodium will contain only atoms of sodium.

An element cannot be divided into its constituent particles by any means.

Whereas particles of a mixture never combine chemically with each other. So, they can be separated by physical means.

Thus, we can conclude that if matter is uniform throughout and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means, it is a compound.

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp

vichka [17]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = $T_1= 21.36^oC$

Final temperature of the calorimeter = $T_2= 26.37^oC$

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

$Q=C\times \Delta T$

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g$

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol$

How many particles are in 1.40 x 10^7 mol of aluminum (Al)?

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

<h3>Hlo there !! </h3>

<u>One mole of any substance contains 6.022*1023 structural units (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.). This number is known as the Avogadro constant.</u>

<u>One mole of any substance contains 6.022*1023 structural units (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.). This number is known as the Avogadro constant.So 1.04*107 mol of Al contains 1.40*107 * 6.022*1023 = 8.43*1030 structural units (in case of Al – atoms).</u>

<h3><u>8.43*1030 particles Al.</u></h3>

Answer:

If one astronaut used more force, then that one would be faster than the other. The independent variable is force. The dependent variable is speed.

Explanation:

Force is what is to be changed. Speed is what is being measured.

IV = Changed/factor DV=Measured/Changes by factor
