trapecia [35]
Ms ( mass of solute): 33,6g
mss (mass of solution): 33,6+192g = 225,6g

C = ms/mss × 100%
C = 33.6/225.6 × 100%
C = 14,89% ≈ 14,9%

What kind of questions CANNOT be answered by chemistry?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

d. why matter exists

Explanation:

The kind of questions that chemistry CANNOT answer is "why matter exists".

In Chemistry, question of how the properties, composition and structure of substances are is answered. Also, the transformations that these substances undergo, and the energy that they release or absorbe during the transformation processes are revealed in chemistry.

Chemistry can answer the question of what forms of matter exists but cannot answer why matter actually exists.

In diamond, carbon atoms are bonded together by extended covalent bonds. what type of solid is diamond?
irinina [24]

Answer: -

D. Network

Explanation: -

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. In diamond each carbon atom makes four bonds to other carbon atoms.

They exist in tetrahedral shape.

Diamond has strong covalent bonds. They extend in all the three dimensions

Such covalent bonds are called network covalent bonds. They require significant amounts of energy to break.

Consider a sample of helium and a sample of neon, both at 30.0°C and 1.5 atm. Both samples have a volume of 5.0 liters. Which st
Triss [41]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, we can calculate the number of moles present. I.e

PV = nRT

Since all the parameters are equal for both gases, we can simply deduce that both has the same number of moles of gases.

The relationship between the mass of each sample and the number of moles can be seen in the relation below :

mass in grammes = molar mass in g/mol × number of moles.

Now , we have established that both have the same number of moles. For them to have the same mass, they must have the same molar masses which is not possible.

Hence option A is wrong

A second reaction mixture was made up in the following way:
Leya [2.2K]

A. We can calculate the initial concentrations of each by the formula:

initial concentration ci = initial volume * initial concentration / total mixture volume

where,

total mixture volume = 10 mL + 20 mL + 10 mL + 10 mL = 50 mL

ci (acetone) = 10 mL * 4.0 M / 50 mL = 0.8 M

ci (H+) = 20 mL * 1.0 M / 50 mL = 0.4 M   (note: there is only 1 H+ per 1 HCl)

ci (I2) = 10 mL * 0.0050 M / 50 mL = 0.001 M

 

B. The rate of reaction is determined to be complete when all of I2 is consumed. This is signified by complete disappearance of I2 color in the solution. The rate therefore is:

rate of reaction = 0.001 M / 120 seconds

rate of reaction = 8.33 x 10^-6 M / s
