What changes in space result from the death of massive stars?
lana [24]

Whenever the fuel is being used up, a star explodes and the energy leakage from a star's core ceases.

Explanation:

The dying star expands in the "Red Giant," before even the inevitable collapse starts, due to nuclear reactions just outside of the core.

It becomes a white dwarf star when the star has almost the same density as the Sun. If it's much larger, a supernova explosion could take place and leave a neutron star away. However, if it is very large–at least three times the Sun's mass–the crumbling core of the star, nothing will ever stop it from crumbling. The star is imploding into a black hole, an endless gravitational loop in space.

How long does it take for a 12.62g sample of ammonia to heat from 209K to 367K if heated at a constant rate of 6.0kj/min? The me
Georgia [21]
First, consider the steps to heat the sample from 209 K to 367K.

1) Heating in liquid state from 209 K to 239.82 K

2) Vaporaizing at 239.82 K

3) Heating in gaseous state from 239.82 K to 367 K.


Second, calculate the amount of heat required for each step.

1) Liquid heating

Ammonia = NH3 => molar mass = 14.0 g/mol + 3*1g/mol = 17g/mol

=> number of moles = 12.62 g / 17 g/mol = 0.742 mol

Heat1 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat1 = 0.742 mol * 80.8 J/mol*K * (239.82K - 209K) = 1,847.77 J

2) Vaporization

Heat2 = # moles * H vap

Heat2 = 0.742 mol * 23.33 kJ/mol = 17.31 kJ = 17310 J

3) Vapor heating

Heat3 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat3 = 0.742 mol * 35.06 J / (mol*K) * (367K - 239.82K) = 3,308.53 J

Third, add up the heats for every steps:

Total heat = 1,847.77 J + 17,310 J + 3,308.53 J = 22,466.3 J

Fourth, divide the total heat by the heat rate:

Time = 22,466.3 J / (6000.0 J/min) = 3.7 min

Answer: 3.7 min

If 842 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 750.0 grams of aluminum, how many grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically
Phantasy [73]

548.55 grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically form.

Explanation:

Balanced equation for the reaction:

3 NaOH + Al ⇒ Al(OH)3 +3 Na

DATA GIVEN:

mass of NaOH = 842 grams, atomic mass =39.9 grams/mole

mass of Al = 750 grams, atomic mass = 26.9 grams/mole

aluminum hydroxide theoretical yield = ?

Moles of NaOH reacted

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

putting the values in the equation

NaOH = \frac{842}{39.9}

           = 21.1 MOLES OF NaOH

Al = \frac{750}{26.9}

   = 27.8 moles

from the equation

 from 3 moles of NaOH 1 mole of Al(OH)3 is produced

21.1 moles of NaOH will react to give x moles of Al(OH)3

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{x}{21.1}

7.03 moles of Al(OH)3 is formed.

and

1 mole of Al(OH)3 is formed from 1 mole of Al in the reaction

so, 27.8 Moles will react to give give 27.8 moles of Al(OH)3 limiting reagent of the given reaction is NaOH

mass of Al(OH)3 =7.03 x 78 (atomic mass of Al(OH)3)

          = 548.55 grams

theoretical  yield from the given data is 548.55 grams
