For this problem, let us first determine the total amount of the accumulation of the collection of coins and the total number of coins. Each penny values to 1. A dime is to 10, and a quarter would be 25. There are 15 pennies, 12 dimes, and 7 quarters. So the equation would be:

15 (1) + 12 (10) + 7 (25) = total amount

Let's solve.

15 + 120 + 175 = total amount
135 + 173 = total amount
308 = total amount

For the total number of coins, it goes like this:
15 + 12 + 7 = total number of coins
Solve

27 + 7 = total number of coins
34 = total number of coins

Since 100 pennies or 10 dimes or 4 quarters would equal to 1 dollar, the total amount would be 3 dollars and 8 cents or simply $3.08 with the total number of coins as 34.

To get percentage, simply divide 15 with the total number of coins which is 34 and multiply it by a 100. It will look like this:
(15/34) x 100 = percentage
solve
00.4411764 x 100 = percentage
44.11764% = percentage
let us round it off to the nearest hundredths
44.12% = percentage

The percentage of pennies in the collection would be 44.12%

How does examining past data help prepare people for feature weather hazards?
klemol [59]

Answer:

It lets people prepare for future weather hazards:

- If, in certain months and on certain dates, the past data shows that there's a history of rain or heat stroke on those days, people can prepare in the future for those events.

- They can also expect wind speeds, temperatures and stuff like that!

To measure the amount of calcium carbonate in a seashell, an analytical chemist crushes a sample of the shell to a fine powder a
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The given question is complete, the complete question is:

To measure the amount of calcium carbonate (CaCO) in a seashell, an analytical chemist crushes a 4.80 g sample of the shell to a fine powder and titrates it to the endpoint with 515. mL of 0.140 M hydrogen chloride (HCl) solution. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2HCI(a)Co (a) H2Co,(aq) + 2Cl (aq)

What kind of reaction is this?

If you said this was a precipitation reaction, enter the chemical formula of the precipitate.

If you said this was an acid-base reaction, enter the chemical formula of the reactant that is acting as the base.

If you said this was a redox reaction, enter the chemical symbol of the element that is oxidized

Calculate the mass percent of CaCO in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

It is an acid-base reaction and the mass percent of CaCo3 is 75.2%.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which an insoluble salt produces from two soluble salts is termed as precipitation reaction.

A reaction in which atleast exchange of one proton takes place between the two species is termed as an acid-base reaction.

A reaction in which any of the element has a change in oxidation state is termed as redox reaction.

In the mentioned reaction, there is a transfer of H⁺, no precipitation is forming, and no change in oxidation state taking place, thus, it is an acid-base reaction.

In the acid-base reaction, the base refers to the species that accepts hydrogen ion or proton. In the given case, CO₃²⁻ is accepting H+ ion to become H₂CO₃. Hence, CO₃²⁻ is the base.

In order to calculate mass percent of CaCO₃, first there is a need to find the moles of HCl reacted for a solution,

Moles = Molarity × Volume (L)

Moles = 0.140 mol/L × 515 × 10⁻³ L

Moles = 0.0721 mol

Now from the balanced equation, one mole of CaCO₃ needs two moles of HCl.

So, moles of CaCO₃ reacted will be,

= 1/2 × 0.0721 = 0.03605 mol

The mass of calcium carbonate taking part in reaction will be,

= Moles × Molar mass

= 0.03605 × 100 gram/mole

= 3.6086 gram

Mass% of CaCO₃ = Mass of CaCO₃/Mass of sample × 100

= 3.6086 grams/4.80 grams × 100

Mass % = 75.2%

alculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer. Express your answer using two decima
svetlana [45]

A 1.0-L buffer solution contains 0.100 mol  HC2H3O2 and 0.100 mol  NaC2H3O2. The value of Ka for HC2H3O2 is 1.8×10−5.

Calculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer.

Answer:

The pH of this solution = 5.06  

Explanation:

Given that:

number of moles of CH3COOH = 0.100 mol

volume of the buffer solution = 1.0 L

number of moles of NaC2H3O2 = 0.100 mol

The objective is to Calculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer.

we know that concentration in mole = Molarity/volume

Then concentration of [CH3COOH] = \mathtt{ \dfrac{0.100  \ mol}{ 1.0  \  L }}  = 0.10 M

The chemical equation for this reaction is :

\mathtt{CH_3COOH + OH^- \to CH_3COO^- + H_2O}

The conjugate base is CH3COO⁻

The concentration of the conjugate base [CH3COO⁻] is  = \mathtt{ \dfrac{0.100  \ mol}{ 1.0  \  L }}  

= 0.10 M

where the pka (acid dissociation constant)for CH3COOH = 4.74

If 0.035 mol of NaOH is added  to the original buffer, the concentration of NaOH added will be = \mathtt{ \dfrac{0.035  \ mol}{ 1.0  \  L }} = 0.035 M

The ICE Table for the above reaction can be constructed as follows:

                  \mathtt{CH_3COOH \ \ \   +  \ \ \ \ OH^-  \ \ \to \ \ CH_3COO^-  \ \ \ + \ \ \  H_2O}

Initial             0.10               0.035         0.10                  -

Change        -0.035          -0.035       + 0.035              -

Equilibrium    0.065              0              0.135               -

By using  Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

The pH of this solution = pKa + log \mathtt{\dfrac{CH_3COO^-}{CH_3COOH}}

The pH of this solution = 4.74 + log \mathtt{\dfrac{0.135}{0.065}}

The pH of this solution = 4.74 + log (2.076923077 )

The pH of this solution = 4.74 + 0.3174

The pH of this solution = 5.0574

The pH of this solution = 5.06    to two decimal places

A cup holding 125.12g of water has an initial temperature of 26.8 degrees C. After a 35.08g piece of metal, at 99.5 degrees C, i
nignag [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.620 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Heat gained or absorbed, Q by a substance is calculated by;

Q = mass × specific heat capacity × Change in temperature

In this case we are given;

  • Mass of water = 125.12 g
  • Initial temperature of water = 26.8 °C
  • Initial temperature of the metal = 99.5°C
  • Final temperature of the mixture = 29.7 °C

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal;

<h3>Step 1 : Heat absorbed by water </h3>

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Temperature change of water = 29.7 °C - 26.8°C

                                                   = 2.9 °C

But, Q = m×c×ΔT

Thus, Heat = 125.12 g × 2.9°C × 4.184 J/g°C

                  = 1518.156 Joules

<h3>Step 2; Heat lost by the metal </h3>

Specific heat capacity of the metal = x J/g°C

Temperature change of the metal = 29.7 °C - 99.5°C

                                                         = -69.8 °C

But, Q = mcΔT

Therefore;

Heat lost by the meatl = 35.08 g × x J/g°C × 69.8 °C

                                     = 2.448.584x Joules

<h3>Step 3: C;aculating the specific heat capacity of the metal </h3>

The heat gained by water is equal to the heat lost by the metal

Therefore;

1518.156 Joules = 2.448.584x Joules

x = 1518.156 J ÷ 2.448.584 J

   = 0.620 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is 0.620 J/g°C
