A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the crystals of mineral compound X from a rock pool lined with more crystals o

f X. He notes the temperature of the pool, 26.° C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist dissolves the crystals in 3.00 L of distilled water. He then filters this solution and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 0.36 kg
1) Using only the information above can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 26 degrees Celsius? yes or no

2) If yes calculate the solubility. Round answer to 2 signifacnt digit

Answer:

1. <u>No, you cannot calculate the solubility of X in water at 26ºC.</u>

Explanation:

You cannot calculate the solubility of X in <em>water at 26 degrees Celsius </em>because you do not know whether the solution formed by dissolving the crystals in 3.00 liters of water is saturaed or not.

The only way to determine the solubility of the compound X is by dissolving the crystals in certain (measured) amount of water and making sure that some crystals remain undissolved, as a solid on the bottom of the beaker.

Next, you should filter the solution to remove the undissolved crystals. Then, weigh the solution, evaporate, wash, dry, and weigh the crystals.

Then you have the mass of the crystals dissolved and the mass of the solution which will let you calculate the mass of pure water, and then the solubility.

When a person says "I think that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at
Fofino [41]

Option A is correct. When a person says "<em>I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time."</em> the person is stating his Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an explanation proposed or given based on a piece of evidence that is limited.

It is useful at the beginning of an investigation because it serves as the building block for an impending fact or law.

From the statement, we can see that the person is not too sure of the information provided since he "thinks". <em>He said, </em><em>"I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time." </em>

<em />

Hence we can conclude that the person is stating a hypothesis.

Law and theory are incorrect because they are already proven facts.

Which compound contains both ionic and covalent
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(3) NaNO₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium nitrate has ionic bonds, because it consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.

However, the nitrate ions have <em>covalent bonds</em> between the O atoms and the central N atoms.

(1) and (2) are <em>wrong</em>. Both N₂O₅ and HCl consist of nonmetals, so they are <em>covalent</em> compounds.

(4) is <em>wrong</em>. NaCl has <em>only ionic bonds</em> between the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions

During an endothermic phase change, what happens to the potential energy and the kinetic energy?
Dovator [93]
The correct answer should be that Potential energy increases, and kinetic energy increases, since they both increase as the temperature changes.
