Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?

One reason could be that the water in this experiment, didn’t boil, but instead became a “chemical reaction” from atmospheric pressure which is normal.

While heating two different samples, of
sea level water it decides on a temperature of 102°C and the other boils at 99.2°C. Basically calculating of the percent error.

Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 135.0 g of water from 50.4°F to 85.0°F. The specific heat of

MAXImum [283]

Here we have to calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 85.0 ⁰F to 50.4 ⁰F.

10.857 kJ heat will be needed to raise the temperature from 50.4 ⁰F to 85.0 ⁰F

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature can be obtained from the equation H = m×s×(t₂-t₁).

Where H = Heat, s =specific gravity = 4.184 J/g.⁰C, m = mass = 135.0 g, t₁ (initial temperature) = 50.4 ⁰F or 10.222 ⁰C and t₂ (final temperature) = 85.0⁰F or 29.444 ⁰C.

On plugging the values we get:

H = 135.0 g × 4.184 J/g.⁰C×(29.444 - 10.222) ⁰C

Or, H = 10857.354 J or 10.857 kJ.

Thus 10857.354 J or 10.857 kJ heat will be needed to raise the temperature.

What is 57.048 rounded to three significant figures?

AnnyKZ [126]

57.0 is it rounded to three sig figs. You count three spaces then round from there, which would be the zero and you would round down because the four is there.

Question 14 A student dissolves 1.5g of styrene C8H8 in 225.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.02/gmL . The student notices tha

Yuki888 [10]

We must to know:

Cm = molarity = niu / Vs, when the niu = no. of moles and Vs = Volume of solution

the no. niu = mass / molecular mass of substance

molecular mass of C8H8 = 12x8+8x1 = 104 g/mol

=> niu = 1,5 / 104 = 0,0144 moles C8H8

=> Cm = 0,0144/0,225 = 0,06 mol/L

Cmm = molality = niu (C8H8) / mass of solvent (kg)

=> p = mass / V => mass (solvent) = p x V

=> 225 x 1,02 = 229,5 g solvent = 0,2295 kg solvent

=> Cmm = 0,0144 / 0,229,5 = 0,063
