Two sample of carbon tetrachloride are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces 32.4 g of carbon and 373

g of chlorine, and the other sample produces 12.3 g of carbon and 112 g of chlorine. Are these results consistent with the law of constant composition?

Answer:

These results are not consistent with the law of constant composition.

Explanation:

Law of constant composition states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

Following this definition, for carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), the ratio of its component elements by mass is:

<em>Mass of Cl / Mass of C</em>

In the first sample, mass of Cl is 373g and mass of C is 32,4. The ratio is:

373g/32,4g = <u><em>11,5</em></u>

In the second sample, mass of Cl is 112g and mass of C is 12,3. The ratio is:

112g/12,3 = <u><em>9,11</em></u>

As the ratio of its component elements is not fixed, it is possible to say that <em>these results are not consistent with the law of constant composition.</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Which buffer would be better able to hold a steady pH on the addition of strong acid, buffer 1 or buffer 2? Explain. Buffer 1: a
Talja [164]

Answer:

Buffer 1.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a weak base. It acts like a Bronsted-Lowry Base when it reacts with hydrogen ions.

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

\rm NH_3 gains one hydrogen ion to produce the ammonium ion \rm {NH_4}^{+}. In other words, \rm {NH_4}^{+} is the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm NH_3.

Both buffer 1 and 2 include

  • the weak base ammonia \rm NH_3, and
  • the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm {NH_4}^{+}.

The ammonia \rm NH_3 in the solution will react with hydrogen ions as they are added to the solution:

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

There are more \rm NH_3 in the buffer 1 than in buffer 2. It will take more strong acid to react with the majority of \rm NH_3 in the solution. Conversely, the pH of buffer 1 will be more steady than that in buffer 2 when the same amount of acid has been added.

Are the charges in Li2O balanced yes o No?
motikmotik

Answer: For example, the Li 2 O content of the principal lithium mineral spodumene (LiAlSi 2 O 6) is 8.03%. Burning lithium metal produces lithium oxide. Lithium oxide is produced by the thermal decomposition of lithium peroxide at 300-400°C.

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K. The latent heat of vaporization
zzz [600]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{889 g}}

Explanation:

The formula relating the mass m of a sample and the heat q to vaporize it is

q = mL, where L is the latent heat of vaporization.

\begin{array}{rcl}2000 \times 10^{3} \text{ J} & = & m \times \dfrac{2.25 \times 10^{6} \text{ J}}{\text{1 kg}}\\\\m & = & \dfrac{2000 \times \times 10^{3}\text{ kg}}{2.25 \times 10^{6}}\\ & = & \text{0.889 kg}\\\\ & = & \text{889 g}\\\end{array}\\\text{The mass of water is $\boxed{\textbf{889 g}}$}

3.0 x 108 m/s is the
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The value 3.0 x 10⁸m/s is taken as the speed of light.

It is a constant.

  • It implies that light travels a distance of 3 x 10⁸ in just one second.
  • This value is for the speed of light in a vacuum when there are not particles obstructing its movement.
  • The speed of electromagnetic radiations in free space is also taken as the speed of light.
