Answer:

Given the following list of densities, which materials would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves melt?

Densities (g/mL): lead = 11.4, glass = 2.6, gold = 19.3, charcoal = 0.57, platinum = 21.4.

glass and charcoal

Explanation:

The density of molten lead is about 10.65Kg/m^3

By Archimedes principles, the buoyancy of an object in a fluid is proportional to the mass of fluid displaced

which in turn is proportional to the object's density

Generally an object well float when placed on a denser medium

glass =2.6, and charcoal =0.57 are both less dense so they will float on Lead

A 1.555-g sample of baking soda decomposes with heat to produce 0.991 g Na2CO3. Refer to Example Exercise 14.l and show the calc
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 101%

b)59.7%

Explanation:

The equation for the thermal decomposition of baking soda is shown;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Number of moles of baking soda= mass/molar mass= 1.555g/84.007 g/mol = 0.0185 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of baking soda yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0185 moles of baking soda will yield = 0.0185 moles ×1 /2 = 9.25 ×10^-3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, mass of sodium carbonate= 9.25 ×10^-3 moles × 106gmol-1= 0.9805 g of sodium carbonate. This is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate.

%yield = actual yield/theoretical yield ×100

% yield = 0.991/0.9805 ×100

%yield = 101%

Since ;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

And H2O + CO2 ---> H2CO3

Hence I can write, 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

Molar mass of H2CO3= 62.03 gmol-1

Molar mass of baking soda= 84 gmol-1

Therefore, mass of baking soda=

0.325/62.03 × 2 × 84 = 0.88 g of NaHCO3

% of NaHCO3= 0.88/1.473 × 100 = 59.7%

Which reaction would cause an increase in entropy? A. SO2Cl2(g) SO2(g) + Cl2(g) B. PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) PCl5(g) C. 2CO(g) + O2(g) 2C
IrinaVladis [17]
A. SO2Cl2(g) --> SO2(g) + Cl2(g) 
<span>1 mole of SOCl2 becomes 1 mole SO2 and 1 mole Cl2 </span>
<span>1 mole --> 2 moles </span>
<span>entropy increases </span>

You find apiece of limestone on ahike. what substances are likely to have formed that rock?
enyata [817]

Limestone is mainly made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. But if u wanna know how it is formed? It's formed by erosion and weathering which is a type of 'Sedimentary Rock'. Erosion and weathering, carried rocks and end up at the sea or ocean. Which is the end way to go! At there, rocks combined by adding more and more just under the sea. The combination of rocks made it harden. First, it was just small little eroded particles end up at the sea. But at last, it became a very hard rock which isn't easy to break!
