Explanation:

Internal energy is the sum of all the energies inside or within a system because molecules of the system will have kinetic, potential, rotational, vibrational etc energies.

Internal energy arises because of random or disordered movement of particles within a system.

Therefore, internal energy of a system is the sum of kinetic and potential energy of all the particles present inside the system.

The variable for internal energy is "U". Also, change in internal energy is represented by $\Delta U$ .

How do I convert/scale a recipe using a t chart

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Obtain the conversion factor by dividing the required yield (from Step 2) by the old yield (from Step 1). That is, conversion factor = (required yield)/(recipe yield) or conversion factor = what you NEED ÷ what you HAVE.

A compound is 52.0% zinc 9.6% carbon and 38.4% oxygen. Calculate the empirical formula of the compound.

skad [1K]

Answer:

So a compound is 52% Zinc(Zn), 9.6% Carbon(C), and 38.4% Oxygen (O). Let’s first start off by assuming that we have 100 g of this compound. This means that we have 52 g of Zinc, 9.6 g of Carbon, and 38.4 g of Oxygen.Zinc = 65.38 g/molCarbon = 12 g/molOxygen = 16 g/molThis means we have:52 g of Zn(1 mol Zn/65.38 g of Zn) ≈0.8 mol of Zn.9.6 g of C(1 mol C/12 g of C) = 0.8 mol of C38.4 g of O(1 mol of O/16 g of O) = 2.4 mol of O.

Explanation:

What we want to do next is divide each element by the common factor of all of them, which is 0.8. In most cases, you divide each element by the element with the least amount of moles. After we divide each by 0.8, you’ll notice you have 1 Zn, 1 C, and 3 O. This gives you the empirical formula of ZnCO3, or Zinc Carbonate.

A titanium cube contains 3.10•10^23 atoms. The density of a titanium is 4.50g/cm^3. What is the edge length of the cube?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

1.76cm

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of titanium that contain 3.10x10²³ atoms. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10²³ atoms. This implies that 1 mole of titanium also contains 6.02x10²³ atoms.

1 mole of titanium = 48g

Now, if 48g of titanium contains 6.02x10²³ atoms,

Then Xg of titanium will contain 3.10x10²³ atoms i.e

Xg of titanium = (48x3.10x10²³)/6.02x10²³

Xg of titanium = 24.72g

Next, we shall determine the volume of the titanium. This is illustrated below:

Density of titanium = 4.50g/cm³

Mass of titanium = 24.72g

Volume of titanium =..?

Density = Mass /volume

Volume = Mass /Density

Volume of titanium = 24.72g/4.50g/cm³

Volume of titanium = 5.49cm³

Finally we shall determine the edge length of the titanium cube as follow:

Volume = L³

5.49cm³ = L³

Take the cube root of both side

L = 3√(5.49cm³)

L = 1.76cm

Therefore, the edge length is 1.76cm
