Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.

Calculate the percent by mass of 4.35g of Na I dissolved in 105g of water

Ludmilka [50]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Na added = 4.35 grams

Mass of water = 105 grams

<u>Mass Percent of Na:</u>

Total mass of the solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Total mass of the solution = 4.35 + 105 = 109.35 grams

Mass percent of solute = (mass of solute / mass of solution) * 100

Mass percent of Solute = (4.35 / 109.35) * 100

Mass percent = 3.978 %

What mass of zinc (molar mass 65.4 g moll) does it take to produce 0.50 mole of H2(g)?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

32.7 g of Zn

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl₂ + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Zn required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂.

Therefore, 0.5 mole of Zn will also react to produce to 0.5 mole of H₂.

Thus, 0.5 mole of Zn is required.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 0.5 mole of Zn. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Zn = 0.5 mole

Molar mass of Zn = 65.4 g/mol

Mass of Zn =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Zn = 0.5 × 65.4

Mass of Zn = 32.7 g

Thus, 32.7 g of Zn is required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂.

The fluid in a barometer (shown above) is mercury, Hg. Why point

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Mercury responds to temperatures differently than water. When mercury is cold, the molecules bunch together, making it seem to be less liquid, and the opposite happens during heat.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the number of sucrose molecules in a 75.0 gram sample.

zzz [600]

Answer:

1.32*10^23 molecules

Explanation:

sucrose formula: C12H22O11

molar mass: 12(12.01)+22(1.01)+11(16.00)=342.34g/mol

75.0 g C12H22O11 * (1 mol C12H22O11)/(342.34g C12H22O11)=0.219 mol C12H22O11

0.219 mol * (6.022*10^23)/mol = 1.32*10^23 molecules (three sig. figures)

A certain amount of hydrogen peroxide was dissolved in 100. mL of water and then titrated with 1.68 M KMnO4. What mass of H2O2 w

Stels [109]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

First to all, this is a redox reaction, and the reaction taking place is the following:

2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 + 5H2O2 -----> 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 8H2O + 5O2

According to this reaction, we can see that the mole ratio between the peroxide and the permangante is 5:2. Therefore, if the titration required 21.3 mL to reach the equivalence point, then, the moles would be:

MhVh = MpVp

h would be the hydrogen peroxide, and p the permanganate.

But like it was stated before, the mole ratio is 5:2 so:

5MhVh = 2MpVp

Replacing moles:

5nh = 2MpVp

Now, we just have to replace the given data:

nh = 2MpVp/5

nh = 2 * 1.68 * 0.0213 / 5

nh = 0.0143 moles

Now to get the mass, we just need the molecular mass of the peroxide:

MM = 2*1 + 2*16 = 34 g/mol

Finally the mass:

m = 0.0143 * 34

m = 0.4862 g
