A student made two solutions – solution A and solution B. Solution A contained 5 g of copper sulfate in 50 cm3 of water. Solutio

n B contains 10 g of copper sulfate in 100 cm3 of water. The student added solution B to solution A. The student concluded that the new solution is more concentrated because it has more copper sulfate dissolved in it Is the student correct? Explain your answer

Answer:

No. The student is wrong.

Explanation:

Concentration of solution = mole/volume

mole of 5 g of copper = 5/63.546 = 0.0787 mole

Concentration of A = 0.0787/0.05 = 1.57 M

mole of 10 g of copper = 10/63.546 = 0.1574 mole

Concentration of B = 0.1574/0.1 = 1.57 M

The two solution are added together:

Total concentration = total number of mole/total volume

                        = 0.0787 + 0.1574/0.05 + 0.1

                           = 0.2361/0.15

                             = 1.57 M

Hence, the new solution has the same concentration with solution A and solution B.

The student's conclusion was wrong.

15 mL of acid 2 M was added to 20 mL of base 2 M into a calorimeter at room temperature (24 oC). The reaction mixture reached a
erik [133]

Answer:

here:

Explanation:

The changes in temperature caused by a reaction, combined with the values of the specific heat and the mass of the reacting system, makes it possible to determine the heat of reaction.

Heat energy can be measured by observing how the temperature of a known mass of water (or other substance) changes when heat is added or removed. This is basically how most heats of reaction are determined. The reaction is carried out in some insulated container, where the heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction causes the temperature of the contents to change. This temperature change is measured and the amount of heat that caused the change is calculated by multiplying the temperature change by the heat capacity of the system.

The apparatus used to measure the temperature change for a reacting system is called a calorimeter (that is, a calorie meter). The science of using such a device and the data obtained with it is called calorimetry. The design of a calorimeter is not standard and different calorimeters are used for the amount of precision required. One very simple design used in many general chemistry labs is the styrofoam "coffee cup" calorimeter, which usually consists of two nested styrofoam cups.

When a reaction occurs at constant pressure inside a Styrofoam coffee-cup calorimeter, the enthalpy change involves heat, and little heat is lost to the lab (or gained from it). If the reaction evolves heat, for example, very nearly all of it stays inside the calorimeter, the amount of heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction is calculated.

Is the following nuclear equation balanced?<br><br> No<br> Yes
fredd [130]

Answer:

Yes.

The nuclear equation {226/88 Ra → 222/26 Rn + 4/2 He} is balanced. As we know that an alpha particle is identical to a helium atom. This implies that if an alpha particle is eliminated from an atom's nucleus, an atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4 is lost.

Therefore, the equation will be reduced to:

226 - 4 = 222

88 - 2 = 86

Hence, the equation is balanced.

Calculate the concentration in % (m/m) of a solution containing 30.0g of mgcl2 dissolved in 270.0g of h20
qaws [65]
As the question tells you, you need to use the formula

% mass= mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100

mass solute= 30.0 g
mass of solution= 30.0 + 270.0= 300.0 g

% mass= 30.0/ 300.0 x 100= 10%

answer is B

What is the temperature change in 355 mL of water upon absorption of 34 kJ of heat? (The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18
frozen [14]

The temperature change is 23 °C.

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T</em>

Δ<em>T</em> = <em>q</em>/(<em>mC</em>)

<em>m</em> = 355 g

∴ Δ<em>T</em> = (34 000 J)/(355 g × 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹) = 23 °C

<em>Note</em>: The answer can have only <em>two significant figures</em> because that is all you gave for the amount of heat absorbed.
