Theoretically, if you start with 0.325 g of copper, after the second lab day you should recover ________ grams of copper.

Chemistry
1 answer:
siniylev [52]4 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option a.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of copper used initially = 0.325 g

When, the given amount of copper was exposed to air, copper undergoes oxidation and leads to the formation of its oxide.

The chemical equation for the formation of copper oxide follows:

2Cu(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CuO(s)

During this reaction, some of the copper gets converted to its oxide.

So, after the second day of lab, copper will be found less than the initial amount taken.

Hence, the correct answer is Option a.

what is the percent by mass of a solution that contains 30 grams of potassium nitrite in 0.5 kilograms of water?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

5.66 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em />

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of potassium nitrite = 30.0 g,

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of potassium nitrite = 500.0 g + 30.0 g = 530.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (30.0 g/530.0 g) x 100 = <em>5.66 %.</em>

Butane combusts in the atmosphere and releases heat:2C4H10(g) + 13 O2(g) ---&gt; 8 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(g)The signs of the values for
anastassius [24]

Answer:\Delta G: -ve

\Delta H : -ve,

\Delta S : +ve

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed by the system and exothermic reactions are those in which heat is released by the system.

\Delta H for Endothermic reaction is positive and  \Delta H for Exothermic reaction is negative.

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

As 15 moles of gaseous reactants are changing into 18 moles of gaseous products, randomness is increasing and thus \Delta S is positive.

Using Gibbs Helmholtz equation:

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

\Delta G=(-ve)-T(+ve)

\Delta G=(-ve)(-ve)=-ve

Thus \Delta H is negative , \Delta S is positive and \Delta G is negative.

¿Cuáles son las grasas e hidróxidos más efectivos en la elaboración de jabón?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Las sales ideales para la saponificacion es la combinacion de grasas complejas con muchas cadenas de trigliceridos y de la soda caustia.

Explanation:

Un ejemplo de estos son la grasa vacuna o la aceite de cocina de consumo tradicional y la soda caustica que es el hidroxido de sodio.

Juntos estos dos productos forman el proceso de saponificacion.

The primary difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law is that a law:
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c)  has been heavily tested through repeated experimentation

Explanation:

Scientific laws are descriptive statements of relationships between observable phenomena. Scientific theories are explanations that are inferred from observable phenomena or regularities in those phenomena.

In other words, a scientific theory is the approach of a hypothetical-deductive system that constitutes a scientific explanation or description to a related set of observations or experiments. It is based on hypotheses or assumptions verified by groups of scientists and generally covers several scientific laws. These laws become part of the basic assumptions and hypotheses of the theory that will encompass the knowledge accepted by the scientific community.

So, a theory is a set of rules that describe the behavior of a particular system and a particular rule that is present in all known theories and is therefore considered "universally applicable."

An example is modern physics. This is a set of many theories, depending on the system to study. You have, for example, quantum mechanics for small-scale systems, special relativity for high-speed objects and general relativity for very massive systems. In all of them the conservation of energy is fulfilled. Therefore, the conservation of energy is called "law", while quantum mechanics, special relativity and general relativity have the category of "theory", being limited to concrete systems.

All of the above leads to being able to say that a theory tries to explain some phenomenon and is accepted as true by the scientific community. Theories describe the behavior of some specific system. A theory may be proven over the years that is not true. A law is what is scientifically proven to be true, it is universally applicable. For example, a theory can become law when it is demonstrated, for example, mathematically or experimentally. A law can also be revised and changed, but it is generally considered true and does not usually change.

So, the correct answer is option c)
