Answer:

a) LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS

b) 0.095g, 0.71g, 0.285g respectively

c) X2Y, YZ15, X6Y

d) hence mass of compound X = 21 x 0.045 = 0.95g

mass of compound Y = 21 x 0.955 = 20.05g

Explanation:

a) The assumptions made in solving this questions is the application of the LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS. The Law of multiple proportions states that if two elements A and B combine together to form more than one compound, then the several masses of A which chemically combine with a fixed mass of B is in a simple ratio.

for example, copper forms two oxides ; copper(I) oxide (CuO) and copper(ii) oxide(Cu2O), it is possible for the two samples of the oxides to be reduced to Cu by reacting with Hydrogen gas. as such, certain masses of oxygen combine separately with a fixed mass of Cu. then the ratios of Cu are then determined.

b) To calculate the relative masses, we take note of the three compounds given, they all have some amount of Y in them, hence we can use Y  as our relative mass, this implies that the relative mass of Y = 1g

mass of X = 0.4g

mass of Y = 4.2g

amount of X in 1g of Y = 0.4 x 1 /4.2

= 0.095g

for compound 2;

mass of Y = 1.4g

mass of Z = 1.0g

amount of Z in 1g of Y =1.0 x 1 /1.4

= 0.71g

for compound 3;

mass of X = 2.0g

mass of Y = 7.0g

amount of X in 1g of Y = 1 x 2/7

= 0.285g

c) Applying the law of multiple proportions; since elements X and Z combine with a fixed mass of Y, they must bear a simple ratio;

compound 1/compound 3 = 0.095/0.285

= 1/3

compound 1/compound 2 = 0.095/0.71

= 2/15

compound 2/ compound 3 = 0.71/0.285

= 5/2

formular for compound 1 = X2Y

formula for compound 2 = YZ15

formular for compound 3 = X6Y

d) from the formular X2Y, we can get the amount of each product in XY using the ratios

%of compound XY in X = mass of compound X / total Mass

= 0.2/4.4 = 4.5%

as such in a 21g of compound XY, %of compound Y = 1 - %of compound X = 95.5%

hence mass of compound X = 21 x 0.045 = 0.95g

mass of compound Y = 21 x 0.955 = 20.05g

How much heat (in kJ k J ) is evolved in converting 2.00 mol m o l of steam at 135 ∘C ∘ C to ice at -42 ∘C ∘ C ? The heat capaci
vovikov84 [41]

The total quantity of heat evolved in converting the steam to ice is determined as  -12,928.68 J.

<h3>Heat evolved in converting the steam to ice</h3>

The total heat evolved is calculated as follows;

Q(tot) = Q1(steam to boiling point) + Q2(boiling point to ice) +Q3(freezing to -42 ⁰C)

where;

  • Q is heat evolved

Q = = mcΔθ

where;

  • m is mass,  (mass of water = 18 g/mol)
  • c is specific heat capacity,
  • Δθ is change in temperature

Q(tot) = 2(18)(2.01)(100 - 135) + 2(18)(2.01)(0 - 100) + 2(18)(2.09)(-42 - 0)

Q(tot) = -12,928.68 J

Thus, the total quantity of heat evolved in converting the steam to ice is determined as  -12,928.68 J.

Tried solving this multiple ways, but keep getting the wrong answer. So, I would appreciate the help. Thank you.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

I can give you the definition ... That might help cause I honestly don't kno the answer either ;-;

Explanation:

When used as a diacritic mark, the term dot is usually reserved for the interpunct, or to the glyphs 'combining dot above' and 'combining dot below' which may be combined with some letters of the extended Latin alphabets in use in Central European languages and Vietnamese.

Here is an example:

The dot product between a unit vector and itself is also simple to compute. In this case, the angle is zero and cosθ=1. Given that the vectors are all of length one, the dot products are i⋅i=j⋅j=k⋅k=1.
