A student attempted to identify an unknown compound by the method used in the experiment. She found that when she heated the sam

ple weighing 0.4862g, the mass barely changed, dropping to 0.4855g. When the product was converted to a chloride, the mass went up to 0.5247g. Is the sample a carbonate? What are the two compounds that might be the unknown?

Answer:

The sample is a carbonate.

The unknown samples are Na2CO3 and K2CO3.

Explanation:

Let's assume ,the sample is Na2CO3.

Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaCl via formation of Na2O

Number of moles of NaCO3= 0.48262g/106gmol= 4.586×10^-3mol

Mass of NaCl= 2(4.586×10^-3)×58.5=0.536g

Let's assume the sample is K2CO3

K2CO3 produces2 moles of KCl

Number of moles of K2CO3= 0.4862g/138.21gmol

Number of moles= 3.517×10^-3mol

Mass of KCl formed= 2(3.517×10^-3)×74.55=0.5246g

Na2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2NaCl + CO3^-2 
<span>
1 mole of Na2CO3 = 106 g </span>
<span>2 moles of NaCl     = 2 x 58.4
                               = 116.8 g 
</span>Na2CO3 would increase by 116.8 / 106 = 1.10 to form 2NaCl.
<span>0.4862 g x 1.10 = 0.515 grams of NaCl.
</span>
K2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2KCl + CO3^-2 
<span>1 mole of K2CO3 = 138.2 g </span>
<span>2 moles of KCl = 149.1 </span>
<span>
K2CO3 would increase by </span>149.1 /138.2 = 1.079 <span>to form 2KCl
</span>
<span> 0.4862 x 1.079 = 0.5246 g</span>

Which subatomic particles have a positive charge and are located in the nucleus?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Atomic Particles

Explanation:

toms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

The specific heat of copper is 0.40 joules/ g °c. How much heat is needed in joules to change the temperature of a 55 gram subst
Snezhnost [94]

Answer : The amount of heat needed is, 1188 J

Explanation :

Formula used :

q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

q = heat needed = ?

m = mass of copper = 55 g

c = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.40J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature = 20.0^oC

T_2 = final temperature = 74.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=55g\times 0.40J/g^oC\times (74.0-20.0)^oC

q=1188J

Thus, the amount of heat needed is, 1188 J

If heat transfers from the system (solute) to the surroundings (solvent), then AH is
balu736 [363]

Answer:

B) exothermic.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we need to keep in mind that exothermic reactions release heat, so they increase the temperature as the final energy is less than the initial energy; in contrast, endothermic reactions absorb heat, so they decrease the temperature as the final energy is greater than the initial energy.

In such a way, when a dissolution process shows off a negative enthalpy of dissolution, we infer it is an exothermic process due to the aforementioned; therefore, the answer is:

B) exothermic .

Best regards!
