Answer:

The molar mass and atomic mass are essentially the same for an element

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance can be obtained by dividing the mass of the substance by the no of moles of the substance present.

The atomic mass of an element is the number of protons and neutrons present in the substance.

These two measurements usually give the same values because they both make reference to the 1/12th the mass of carbon-12 for their measurement.

Because they both have the same reference point, though they have different calculating procedures, the results obtained will be similar.

If the block were to be cut in half, what would be the density of the smaller block?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Density stays the same

Explanation:

The density remains the same because cutting the object in half will divide the mass & volume by the same amount. Also, the density of a substance remains the same no matter what size it is.

The compound known as butylated hydroxytoluene, abbreviated as BHT, contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 2.001 g sample of B

Alborosie

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, iron and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=5.995g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.963g$

Mass of sample = 2.001 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 5.995 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 5.995=1.635g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.963 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.963=0.218g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (2.001) - (1.635 + 0.218) = 0.148 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.635g}{12g/mole}=0.136moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.218g}{1g/mole}=0.218moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.148g}{16g/mole}=0.0092moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0092 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.136}{0.0092}=14.78\approx 15$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.218}{0.0092}=23.69\approx 24$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0092}{0.0092}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 15 : 24 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

The density of concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) is 1.413 g/mL. What volume in liters would be occupied by a mass of 47.2 g?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The volume that a mass of 47.2 g would occupy is 0.0334 L

Explanation:

Density is the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space. Density is defined as the amount of mass it has per unit volume, that is, the ratio between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$Density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

This indicates that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

In this case:

density= 1.413 g/mL
mass= 47.2 g
volume=?

Replacing:

$1.413 \frac{g}{mL}=\frac{47.2 g}{volume}$

Solving:

$volume=\frac{47.2 g}{1.413\frac{g}{mL} }$

volume=33.40 mL

Being 1,000 mL= 1 L:

volume= 0.0334 L

The volume that a mass of 47.2 g would occupy is 0.0334 L
