Answer:
a compound
Explanation:
a compound consists of two or more elements combined
There are O-H bonds in H2O. They have the intramolecular force of polar covalent bond.
Answer:
Explanation:
A solar collector is a device that absords Sun's heat energy to heat air or water. It is majorly used for heating purpose, and do not generate electricity directly.
The flow tubes and collector plate are black in color so as to increase the intensity of heat generated by the collector. A black body is a good absorber of heat, it absorbs most heat directed to the collector. Also, a black body is a good radiator of heat, the heat absorbed is rediated to the appropriate channels for the heating of water or air molecules. The black color increases the efficeincy and percentage of solar energy absorbed by the collector.
If a reflective color is used (e.g white), major percentage of the incident heat would be reflected. This would decrease the efficiency of the solar collector.
Answer:
63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass
Explanation:
<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>
The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:
<em>Mass water:</em>
3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water
<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>
0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.
<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>
0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass percent:</em>
2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =
<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
