Answer:
a) yes, it was an hydrate
b) the number of waters of hydration, x = 6
Explanation:
a) yes it was an hydrate because the mass decreased after the process of dehydration which means removal of water thus some water molecules were present in the sample.
b) NiCl2. xH2O
mass if dehydrated NiCl2 = 2.3921 grams
mass of water in the hydrated sample = mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated = 4.3872 - 2.3921 = 1.9951 g which represent the mass of water that was present in the hydrated sample.
NiCl2.xH2O
mole of dehydrated NiCl2 = m/Mm = 2.3921/129.5994 = 0.01846 mole
mole of water = m/Mm = 1.9951/18.02 = 0.11072 mole
Divide both by the smallest number of mole (which is for NiCl2) to find the coefficient of each
for NiCl2 = 0.01846/0.01846 = 1
for H2O = 0.11072/0.01846 = 5.9976 = 6
thus the hydrated sample was NiCl2. 6H2O
The correct answer is the second option. During fusion, uranium atoms are fused together. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
Answer:
potential energy and kinetic energy
Answer:
Three types of metamorphism exist: contact, dynamic, and regional. Metamorphism produced with increasing pressure and temperature conditions is known as prograde metamorphism.
Answer:
16 minutes
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the amount of heat needed to cool the beef stew:
Q = mcΔT
Where <em>m</em> is the mass, <em>c</em> is the heat capacity and <em>ΔT</em> is the variation of the temperature.
Q = 10x4x(40 - 90)
Q = -2000 kJ
So, the beef stew needs to lost 2000 kJ to cool.
With the initial temperature at 90ºC, the rate of cooling(r) will be:
r = 1.955x(90 - 25)
r = 127.075 kJ/min
So, to lose 2000 kJ, will be necessary:
t = Q/r
t = 2000/127.075
t = 16 minutes
