Answer:

The correct answer is the imperial system.

Explanation:

Only three countries in the world, that is, the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia use the imperial system. These include measurements in the form of inches, ounces, Fahrenheit, and feet. In the imperial system, the distances, height, weight, or area measurements are used eventually that traced back to everyday items or parts of the body.

In comparison to other metric systems, the units used in the imperial system are not further differentiated easily into parts of hundreds or thousands, and are thus, regarded of less use in comparison to other metric systems by some. The real follower of the imperial system at present in the world is the United States.

Which properties change the composition of a substance?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physical properties are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance. Some examples of physical properties are its volume and its density. There are two types of physical properties, intensive physical properties and extensive physical properties.

Large amounts of energy are required to join two atom's nuclei into a single nucleus and, in turn, create a new element. What is

laila [671]

Answer: fusion

Explanation:

Nuclear fission : It is defined as a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei (which is an unstable nuclei) into two or more small nuclei (which is a stable nuclei) along with release of high amounts of energy.

Example: The energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

Nuclear fusion : It is defined as a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: It occurs in sun and stars where the isotopes of hydrogen called as Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom.

Magnesium (used in the manufacture of light alloys) reacts with iron(III) chloride to form magnesium chloride and iron. A mixtur

yuradex [85]

Answer: The limiting reactant is magnesium and mass of excess reactant present in the vessel is 96.35 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For magnesium:

Given mass of magnesium = 41.0 g

Molar mass of magnesium = 24 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of magnesium}=\frac{41.0g}{24g/mol}=1.708mol$

For iron(III) chloride:

Given mass of iron(III) chloride = 175.0 g

Molar mass of iron(III) chloride = 162.2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron(III) chloride}=\frac{175g}{162.2g/mol}=1.708mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium and iron(III) chloride follows:

$3Mg+2FeCl_3\rightarrow 3MgCl_2+2Fe$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of magnesium reacts with 2 moles of iron(III) chloride

So, 1.708 moles of magnesium will react with = $\frac{2}{3}\times 1.708=1.114mol$ of iron(III) chloride

As, given amount of iron(III) chloride is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, magnesium is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Moles of excess reactant left (iron(III) chloride) = [1.708 - 1.114] = 0.594 moles

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) chloride from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) chloride = 162.2 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) chloride = 0.594 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.594mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron(III) chloride}}{162.2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron(III) chloride}=(0.594mol\times 162.2g/mol)=96.35g$

Hence, the limiting reactant is magnesium and mass of excess reactant present in the vessel is 96.35 grams.

Which gas will diffusion faster within a system?

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Methane(CH₄).

Explanation:

Thomas Graham found that, at a constant temperature and pressure the rates of effusion of various gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their masses.

∨ ∝ 1/√M.

where, ∨ is the rate of diffusion of the gas.

M is the molar mass of the gas.

∨₁/∨₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

The molar mass of different choices:

Carbon dioxide: 44.01 g/mol.

Water vapor : 18.0 g/mol.

Ammonia (NH₃): 17.0 g/mol.

Methane(CH₄): 16.0 g.mol.

Since, methane has the lowest molar mass. So, it will diffuse faster within a system.
