Answer: B

Explanation: 1 gram equals to 100 centigrams. We can also say that, 1 centigram equals to 0.01 gram.

From above centigram to gram conversion factor, there are two decimal places in 0.01 gram. So, a centigram balance is the one that could read the mass of a matter(object) to two decimal places.

Balance A can only read to one decimal place where as balance B can read the mass up to two decimal places.

Hence, balance B is the centigram balance.

It is B balance, because it has a 0,01 g divisions scale. The minimun division in A balance is only 0,1 g, i.e, decigram measurement.

What is the overall energy transformation in a coal-fired power plant?.

polet [3.4K]

Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.

Hope this helps.

Does the physical form of the material matter for mass-mole<br> and mole-mass calculations?

Tin metal reacts with hydrogen fluoride to produce tin(II) fluoride and hydrogen gas according to the following balanced equation.

Sn(s)+2HF(g)→SnF2(s)+H2(g)
Sn(s)+2HF(g)→

(g)

How many moles of hydrogen fluoride are required to react completely with 75.0 g of tin?

Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.

Known

given: 75.0 g Sn
molar mass of Sn = 118.69 g/mol
1 mol Sn = 2 mol HF (mole ratio)
Unknown

mol HF
Use the molar mass of Sn to convert the grams of Sn to moles. Then use the mole ratio to convert from mol Sn to mol HF. This will be done in a single two-step calculation.

g Sn → mol Sn → mol HF

Step 2: Solve.

75.0 g Sn×1 mol Sn118.69 g Sn×2 mol HF1 mol Sn=1.26 mol HF

Step 3: Think about your result.

The mass of tin is less than one mole, but the 1:2 ratio means that more than one mole of HF is required for the reaction. The answer has three significant figures because the given mass has three significant figures.

Chalcopyrite is an ore with the composition cufes2. what is the percentage of iron in a 39.6 g sample of this ore? answer in uni

iren2701 [21]

<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass. For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound. Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu Fe has 55.845 amu and S has 36.065 amu Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus 63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521 That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845 So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521 Which comes out to 29.15% by mass Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>
