Archeologist discovered a silver crown in an ancient tomb and sent it for analysis. You placed the crown in a tub of water and f

ound it displaces 238.1 ml of water. If the mass of the crown is 2.50kg did the archeologist find a crown of Real silver? How can u be sure?

Answer:

Explanation:

The density of pure lead is 10.49g/cm³

Given parameters:

Volume of water displaced by the crown = 238.1ml

Mass of crown = 2.50kg

Solution

We would simply find the density of the discovered crown and compare with that of the standardized density of lead.

Density is an intensive property of matter and it is the same for any form of matter. It is amount of substance per unit volume:

               Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

We need to convert the given parameters to standard unit,

                                 1ml = 1cm³

         Therefore, the volume of water displaced is 238.1cm³

Also,

                       1kg  = 1000g

                       2.5kg = 2500g

    mass of the crown is 2500g

 

Density = \frac{2500}{238.1} = 10.49g/cm³

The crown is made of silver because the density matches with that of pure silver.

A mixture of 50.0 mL of ammonia gas and 60.0 mL of oxygen gas react. If all the gases are at the same temperature and pressure,
fredd [130]

Answer:

72.0 mL of steam is formed.

Explanation:

The reaction is :

4 NH_{3} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 4NO+6H_{2} O

You can treat coefficient of compounds as amount of volume used.

Therefore for 4 mL of ammonia 5 mL of oxygen is used to form 4 mL of nitric oxide gas and 6 mL of steam.

For 1 mL of ammonia \frac{5}{4} (=1.25) mL of oxygen is used to form \frac{4}{4} (=1) mL of nitric oxide gas and \frac{6}{4} (=1.5) mL of steam.

OR

Just transform the chemical equation by dividing the whole equation by 4 so that the coefficient of NH_{3} become one like this

NH_{3} + \frac{5}{4} O_{2} \rightarrow \frac{4}{4}NO+\frac{6}{4}H_{2} O

We don't know which one will be completely exhausted and which one will be left so we have to consider two cases :

<em>1.  </em><em>Assume ammonia to be completely exhausted</em>

For 50 mL of ammonia 50 \times \frac{5}{4} (= 62.5) mL of oxygen is needed. But we have just 60 mL of oxygen so this assumption is false.

2.  <em>Assume oxygen to be completely exhausted</em>

For 60 mL of oxygen only 60 \times \frac{4}{5} (=48) mL of ammonia is needed. In this case we have sufficient amount of ammonia. So this case is true.

60\times\frac{4}{5}NH_{3} + 60\ O_{2} \rightarrow 60\times\frac{4}{5}NO+60\times\frac{6}{5}H_{2} O\\\\48NH_{3} + 60\ O_{2} \rightarrow 48NO+72H_{2} O

Now we know that during complete reaction 48 mL of ammonia and 60 mL of oxygen is used which will form 60 \times \frac{4}{5} (= 48) mL of nitic oxide gas and 60 \times \frac{6}{5} (= 72) mL of steam.

Therefore <em>72 mL of steam </em>is formed.

A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.
stepladder [879]
The answer that complete the sentence is "Arrhenius base".

The complete sentence is: A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution is an Arrhenius base.

Arrhenius' acid and base model says that an acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes in aqueous solution producing protons (H+) and a base is a substance that cointains hydroxide and release it in aqueous solution.

It is possible to prepare ethanol by nucleophilic substitution. For an electrophile, you could choose EtCl, EtBr, or EtI; for a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The reactant/reagent that would be most atom economical is EtI (Ethy Iodide) and KOH (potassium oxide) as base

This is because the iodo group are weak base hence they have a good leaving character (i.e they are unstable on their own ) which would increase the rate of reaction and the strong base KOH give the most atom economical
