About 6 × 109 g of gold is thought to be dissolved in the oceans of the world. If the total volume of the oceans is 1.5 × 1021 L

, what is the average molar concentration of gold in seawater?

First, determine the number of moles of gold.

Number of moles  = \frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}

Given mass of gold  =6 \times 10^{9} g

Molar mass of gold  = 196.97 g/mol

Put the values,

Number of moles of gold  = \frac{6 \times 10^{9} g}{196.97 g/mol}

= 0.03046\times  10^{9} mole or 3.046\times  10^{7} moles

Now, molarity  = \frac{moles of solute}{volume of the solution in liters}

Put the values, volume of ocean  =1.5 \times 10^{21} L

Molarity = \frac{3.046\times 10^{7} moles}{1.5 \times 10^{21} L}

= 2.03\times 10^{-14} M

Thus, average molar concentration = 2.03\times 10^{-14} M

dusya [7]

Answer: The final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=100kPa\\T_1=60^0C=(60+273)K=333K\\P_2=?\\T_2=10^0C=(10+273)K=283K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{100kPa}{333K}=\frac{P_2}{283K}\\\\P_2=85kPa

Hence, the final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

Another carbon isotope has six protons and seven neutrons in its nucleus. What do you think this carbon isotope is called?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Carbon - 13

Explanation:

For most of the elements other than that of hydrogen, the isotopes are named for the mass number.

Example : Carbon atoms with 6 neutrons have mass number of 12 ( as 6\ protons +6\ neutrons=12 ), so they are known as carbon-12.

Given that:

Protons = 6

Neutrons = 7

Mass = 6 + 7 = 13

So the name is Carbon - 13 . The symbol is ^{13}_{6}C

Which of the following would release the most heat? Assume the same mass of in each case. Specific heats of ice, liquid water, a
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The process which releases most heat is E)

Explanation:

As we know that water freezes at 0ºC and vaporizes at 100ºC, we calculate the heat as follows:

  • Processes with temperatures < 0ºC : by using specific heat of ice (Sh ice) multiplied by the change in temperature (ΔT= Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)⇒ Sh ice x ΔT
  • Processes of ice melting (at 0ºC): by using heat of fusion of ice (ΔH fus) multiplied by a conversor factor (1 mol H20= 18 g)⇒ ΔHfus x 1mol/18g
  • Processes between 0ºC and 100ºC: by using specific heat of liquid water (Sh liq) multiplied by change in temperature ⇒ Sh liq x ΔT
  • Processes of water evaporation (at 100ºC): by using heat of vaporization (ΔH vap) multiplied by the conversor factor ⇒ ΔH vap x 1mol/18 g
  • Processes at a temperature >100ºC: by using specific heat of water vapor (Sh vap) multiplied by the change in temperature ⇒ Sh vap x ΔT

A) Water at -25ºC is ice. Ice is heated from -25ºC to 0ºC, then it melts at 0ºC (ice became liquid water) and then liquid water is heated from 0ºC to 70ºC. T

This is the only process in with the heat is absorbed (not releases), so it cannot be the right answer, but we calculate the heat involved to practice:

Heat= (Sh ice x ΔT) + (ΔH fus x 1/18 g) + Sh liq x ΔT

Heat= (2.05 J/g ºC x (0ºC -(-25ºC) ) + (6.01 x 10³ J/mol x 1 mol/18 g) + (4.18 J/g ºC x (70ºC-0ºC)

Heat= 51.25 J + 333,8 J +292.6 J

Heat= 677.65 J (heat is absorbed)

B) Water is cooled from 13ºC to 0ºC, then it is freezed at 0ºC and then the ice is cooled from 0ºC to -2.6 ºC

Heat= (Sh liq x ΔT) + (-ΔH melt x 1/18 g) + (Sh ice x ΔT)

Heat= 4.18 J/ºC x (0ºC- 13ºC) + (-6.01 x 10³ J/mol x 1mol/18 g) + (2.05 J/ºC x (-2.5ºc - 0ºC)

Heat= -54.34 J - 333.8 J + 5.33 J

Heat= -393.47 J (heat is released)

C) Liquid water is cooled from 74ºC to 95ºC

Heat= Sh liq x ΔT

Heat= 4.18 J/ºC x (74ºC - 95ºC)

Heat = -87.78 J (heat is released)

D) Water at 140ºC is in vapor state. Vapor at 140ºC is cooled to 110ºC (still vapor).

Heat = Sh vap x ΔT

Heat= 2.01 J/ºC x (110ºC - 140ºC)

Heat= -60.3 J (heat is released)

E) Vapor at 106ºC is cooled to 100ºC, then it condenses at 100ºC (convertion from gas to liquid), and liquid water is cooled from 100ºC to 88ºC.

Heat= (Sh vap x ΔT) + (-ΔHvap x 1mol/18g) + (Sh liq x ΔT)

Heat= (2.01 J/ºC x (100ºC-106ºC)) - (40.7 x 10³ J/mol x 1mol/18 g) + (4.18 J/ºC x (88ºC -100ºC)

Heat= -2323.32 J (heat is released) <u>THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER</u> (the more negative= the more released)

arlik [135]
Empirical   formula  is  calculated   as  follows

calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  that  is   %  composition/  molar  mass
molar  masses  (  Si=  28.09g/mol ,  Cl=  35.5  g/mol,  I=126.9 g/mol)

moles  of  silicon =  7.962/28.09g/mol=  0.283  moles
moles  of  chlorine =  20.10 / 35.5g/mol =  0.566  moles
moles  of  iodine=  71.94 / 126.9  g/mol=  0.567  moles

divide  each  mole   with  smallest    mole  (0.283)
that  is    silicon =  0.283/0.283= 1 mole
             chlorine =  0.566/0.283=  2 mole
            Iodine=  o.567/0.283= 2  moles
empirical  formula  is  therefore=  SiCl2I2
