Answer:

Explanation:

A sound knowledge of specific heat capacity of the metals is required in this case.

The specific heat capacity of a metal is the quantity of heat required to the raise the temperature of a unit mass of it by 1°C.

It is related to quantity of heat using the expression below;

H = m c Δt

where m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Δt is the temperature change

let us make the specific the subject of the expression;

c = $\frac{H}{m x change in temperature}$

we can see that there is an inverse relationship between specific heat and temperature change.

The specific heat capacity of a body is an intensive property that is unique to the metal.

The higher the specific heat capacity, the lower the amount of temperature change in it.

Let us find the specific heat capacity of the given metals;

Aluminium 0.897J/gK

Iron 0.412J/gK

Silver 0.24J/gK

After the heat is supplied,

Silver > Iron > Aluminium in terms of temperature change

How many moles of water molecules are in 6.81 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (Epsom salts

loris [4]

Answer: 0.34 mol

Justification:

1) Hepta means 7, so heptahyrate means 7 parts of water. On mole of magnesium sulfate heptadydrate has seven moles of water.

2) The formula of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is:

Mg SO4 . 7 H2O

3) Calcualte the number of moles of the compound by dividing the mass in grams by the molar mass of formula.

molar mass:

Mg: 24.3 g/mol
S: 32.1 g/mol
O4: 4 * 16.0 g/mol = 64.0 g/mol
H2: 2 * 1.0 g/mol = 2.0 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

Molar mass = 24.3 g/mol + 32.1 g/mol + 64.0 g/mol + 2.0 g/mol + 16.0 g/mol = 138.4 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass = 6.81 g / 138.4 g/mol = 0.049 mol

4) As stated, there are 7 moles of H2O per each mol of heptahydrate compoind, so the number of moles of water is 7 * 0.049 mol = 0.343 mol

Answer: 0.34 mol

Calculate the number of C, H, and O atoms in 1.50 g of glucose, a sugar

DIA [1.3K]

Chemical formula of the glucose: C₆H₁₂O₆

We calculate the molar mass:
atomic mass (C)=12 u
atomic mass (H)=1 u
atomic mass (O)=16 u

atomic weight (C₆H₁₂O₆)=6(12 u)+12(1u)+6(16 u)=72 u+12u+96 u=180 u.
Therefore : 1 mol of glucose will be 180 g
The molar mass would be: 180 g/ mol

2) we calculate the number of moles of 1.5 g.
180 g---------------------1 mol
1.5 g---------------------- x

x=(1.5 g * 1 mol) / 180 g≈8.33*10⁻³ moles

we knows that:
1 mol = 6.022 * 10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)

3)We calculate the number of molecules:

Therefore:
1 mol-----------------------6.022*10²³ molecules of glucose
8.33*10⁻³ moles-------- x

x=(8.33*10⁻³ moles * 6.022*10²³ molecules)/1 mol≈5.0183*10²¹ molecules.

4)We calculate the number of C, H and O atoms:
A molecule of glucose have 6 atoms of C, 12 atoms of H, and 6 atoms of O,
number of atoms of C=(6 atoms/1 molecule)(5.0183*10²¹molecules)≈
3.011*10²²

number of atoms of H=(12 atoms/1 molecule)(5.0183*10²¹ molecules)≈
6.022*10²² .

number of atoms of O=(6 atoms/1 molecule)(5.0183*10²¹ molecules)≈
3.011*10²²

Answer: we have 3.011*10²² atoms of C, 6.022*10²² atoms of H, and 3.011*10²² atoms of O.

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

is a combustion reaction

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction a chemical substance (usually organic substances) are reacted with oxygen to form the most stable oxides and heat.

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

In a double displacement reaction two compounds exchange elements.

AB + CD → AC + BD

In a decomposition reaction a compound is split into simpler substances.
