M = Sr (strontium)

Step 1. Calculate the moles of CO_2.

Moles of CO_2 = 0.395 g CO_2 × (1 mol CO_2/44.01 g CO_2)

= 0.008 975 mol CO_2

Step 2. Calculate the moles of MCO_3.

Moles of MCO_3 = 0.008 975 mol CO_2 × (1 mol MCO_3/1 mol CO_2)

= 0.008 975 mol MCO_3

Step 3. Calculate the molar mass of MCO_3

MM = grams/moles = 1.324 g/0.008 75 mol = 147.5 g/mol

Step 4. Calculate the atomic mass of M

M_r = x + 12.01 + 3×16.00 = x + 60.01 = 147.5

x = 147.5 – 60.01 = 87.5

Step 5. Identify M.

The element with the closest atomic mass is Sr (A_r = 87.6).

∴ M = Sr and the compound is SrCO_3.

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.

hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.

What is a planned goal of the Exploration Mission 2?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. to explore the composition of Mars

Explanation:

Initially, in 2019, an unmanned mission is planned to orbit the moon. The spacecraft would flyby the moon. In 2020's, the Exploration Mission 2 would be a manned mission on the same path around the moon. This would be the base for future goal of collecting samples from mars. In later of 2020's unmanned spacecraft would be sent to mars and a robot would collect the samples from the Martian surface. In 2030's, a crew would be sent to Mars.

A sample of gas has a volume of 20.0 mL at STP. What will the volume be if the temperature is changed to 546 K and the pressure

Ostrovityanka [42]

The volume did not change, it remained at 20 ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20 ml a sample gas at STP(273 K, 1 atm)

T₂=546 K

P₂=2 atm

Required

The volume

Solution

Combined gas Law :

$\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}$

Input the value :

$\tt \dfrac{1\times 20}{273}=\dfrac{2\times V_2}{546}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1\times 20\times 546}{273\times 2}\\\\V_2=20~ml$

The volume does not change because the pressure and temperature are increased by the same ratio as the initial conditions (to 2x)
