Answer:

A. The law of definite proportions states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combines in the same proportion by mass.

B. The law of conservation of mass states that during ordinary chemical reactions, matter can neither be created or destroyed.

Note: The full question is as follows;

A researcher placed 25.0 g of silver chloride, AgCl, in sunlight and allowed the substance to decompose completely to form silver, Ag, with the release of chlorine gas, Cl2. The gas was collected in a container during the decomposition. The researcher determined that the mass of the silver formed was 18.8 g, and the mass of the chlorine gas formed was 6.2 g. The equation for the reaction is:

2AgCl ----> 2Ag + Cl2

a. State the law of definite proportions. Then use the researcher's data to confirm the law of definite proportions. Show your calculations.

b. State the law of conservation of matter. Then use the researcher's data to confirm the conservation of matter. Show your calculations.

Explanation:

A. Mass of silver obtained from AgCl = 18.8g.

Percentage mass of silver in the chloride = (18.8/25.0) * 100 = 75.2 %

Mass of chlorine obtained from AgCl = 6.2

Percentage mass of chlorine = (6.2/25) * 100 = 24.8 %

In one mole of AgCl with a molar mass of 143.3 g/mol; mass of silver = 107.8, mass of Cl = 35.5

Percentage mass of Ag = (107.8/143.3) * 100 = 75.2%

Percentage mass of Cl = (35.5/143.3) * 100 = 24.8%

Since the percentages by mass of Ag and AgCl obtained from the sample is the same to that obtained from a mole of AgCl, the law of definite proportions which states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass is verified.

B. Mass of reactant; AgCl sample = 25.0

Mass of products; At = 18.8 g; Cl = 6.2 g

Sum of products masses = 18.8 + 6.2 = 25.0 g

Therefore mass of reactant = mass of products.

This is in accordance with the law of conservation of mass which states that during ordinary chemical reactions, matter is neither created nor destroyed.

When aluminum is placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. 2 Al ( s ) + 6 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ 2AlCl3 ( aq ) +
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  V = 19.9 L

Explanation:

Data

mass of Al = 8.60 g

volume of H₂ = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

                 2Al  +  6HCl  ⇒   2AlCl₃  +  3H₂

1.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of H₂ produced

Atomic mass of Al = 2 x 27 = 54 g

Atomic mass of H₂ = 6 x 1 = 6 g

                54 g of Al -------------------- 6 g of H₂

                  8 g  of Al -------------------  x

                  x = (8 x 6) / 54

                  x = 48 / 54

                  x = 0.89 g of H₂

2.- Calculate the volume of H₂

- Convert the H₂ to moles

                    1 g of H₂ --------------- 1 mol

                   0.89 g    ---------------- x

                    x = 0.89 moles

                    1 mol of H₂ -------------- 22.4 l

                   0.89 moles  ------------- x

                    x = (0.89 x 22.4) / 1

                   x = 19.9 L

A cool, yellow-orange flame is used to heat the crucible. Would this affect the mass of the crucible? If so, how?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Usually, it would not affect the crucible, but depending on the temperature of the flame the enamel of the crucible may begin to melt and stick to the metal object being used to handle the crucible. This tiny amount that is melted off can cause very small changes in the original mass of the crucible, which although it is almost unnoticeable it is still there. Therefore, the answer to this question would be yes.

A sample of methane (CH4) has a volume of 25 mL at a pressure of 0.80 atm. What is the volume of the gas at each of the followin
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a. 50ml b.10ml c. 6.097ml d. 190.1 ml

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law

Volume is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temerature

Mathematically

P1V1=P2V2

P1=Initial pressure=0.8atm

V1=Initial volume=25ml

making V2 the subject

at 0.4atm P2=0.4 atm,

V2=25×0.8/0.4

=50ml

at 2 atm V2=25×0.8/2

=10 ml

1mmHg=0.00131579

2500mmHg=3.28 atm

At 3.28 atm,V2=25×0.8/3.28

=6.097 ml

at 80.0 torr

1 torr=0.00131579

80 torr=0.1052 atm

at 0.1048 atm V2=25×0.8/0.1048

=190.1 ml
