Answer:

Scientific models are used to explain phenomena that can not be experience directly and it is also used for prediction.

Explanation:

An example of idea model is the Eistein equation. An idea model shows how things interact together to produce a particular result.

An example of physical model is the solar system.

Computer model is used to predict long term events and an example of this is computer simulations.

A gas at 1.2 atm has a

Papessa [141]

Answer:

1.26 mole

Explanation:

Using ideal gas law

PV=nRT

R= 0.08206

T=273+87=360

1.2×31=n×0.08206×360

37.2 =n × 29.54

n= 1.26 mole

At 300.0 K and 0.987 atm pressure, what will be the volume of 2.30 mol of Ne?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

V = 57.39 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature, T = 300 K

Pressure, P = 0.987 atm

No. of moles of Ne, n = 2.30 mol

We need to find the volume of Ne. We know that, the ideal gas law is as follows :

PV = nRT

Where

P is pressure and R is gas constant

$V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{2.3\times 0.0821\times 300}{0.987 }\\\\V=57.39\ L$

So, the volume of the Ne is 57.39 L.

PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:

zepelin [54]

Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:

12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: $n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}$

∴ mass of S in 2 moles of S: $w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g$

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:

$x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ$

$\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J$

$(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)$

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

Chuck has a very detailed model of the solar system where each planet is made out of granite rock. Since his little sister reall

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.
