Answer:

A. While inconsistent, his average of 1.0 kg made his results quite

accurate

Explanation:

Accuracy is how close the value you gain from test or observation compared with the real value. In this test, all tests relatively close to 1kg and the average of the test is 1kg so this tool can be considered quite accurate.

The precision determines how close the value of multiple repetitions of the test. In this case, the value varies from 0.8kg to 1.2kg. The highest value is about 50% higher than the lowest value, so the range is pretty far and the test can be considered not precise.

As fuel is burned in an airplane, it seems to disappear from the tank, suggesting that matter is destroyed during the reaction.

gregori [183]

Answer:

Well we know that matter is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. It is not destroyed it simply was converted to gas. =D

True or False. Isotopes have different chemical properties. Explain why?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation: isotopes generally have the same physical and chemical properties because they have the same numbers of protons and electrons.

How many grams of hydrogen chloride can be produced from 1.00g of hydrogen and 55.0g of chlorine? what is the limiting reactant?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$m_{HCl}=36.1gHCl$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required grams of HCl by firstly identifying the limiting reactant via the moles of each reactant as they are in a 1:1 mole ratio:

$n_{H_2}=1.00gH_2*\frac{1molH_2}{2.02gH_2}=0.500molH_2\\\\ n_{Cl_2}=55.0gCl_2*\frac{1molCl_2}{70.9gCl_2}=0.776molCl_2$

Thus, we infer the hydrogen is the limiting reactant and therefore we use its 1:2 mole ratio with HCl whose molar mass is 36.46 g/mol:

$m_{HCl}=0.500molH_2*\frac{2molHCl}{1molH_2}*\frac{36.46gHCl}{1molHCl}\\\\m_{HCl}=36.1gHCl$

Regards!

Olympic cyclists fill their tires with helium to make them lighter. Assume that the volume of the tire is 860 mL , that it is fi

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) the mass of air = 8.24 grams

b) the mass of helium = 1.14 grams

c) the mass difference = 7.10 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the tire = 860 mL

Total pressure = 120 psi

Temperature = 26°C

molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Step 2: Convert psi to atm

(

120 psi) (1 atm / 14.7 psi) = 8.163

Step 4: Calculate moles

PV = nRT

⇒ with P = the pressure = 8.163 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = 860 mL = 0.860 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the universal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 26 °C = 299 Kelvin

n = (8163*0.860)/(0.08206*299)

n = 0.2861 moles of gas

Step 5: Calculate the mass of air in an air-filled tire.

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = (0.2861 moles of gas) (28.8 g/mol)

Mass = 8.24 grams

Step 6: Calculate the mass of helium in a helium- filled tire.

mass of helium = 0.2861 moles of gas * 4 g/mol)

mass of helium = 1.14 grams

Step 7: What is the mass difference between the two?

Δmass= 8.24 grams - 1.14 grams

Δmass= 7.10 grams
