What if you broke off a piece of cement (or bread) so that it was only half the volume of the original piece? What would happen

Answer:

The mass is also half of the mass of the original piece

Explanation:

Recall that the volume of a substance is defined as mass/volume. The density of substances is a constant. Hence, if a break off a piece of cement or bread such that what remains is only half the volume of the original piece, the mass of the new piece must also reduce to half of the mass of the original piece so that the volume of the material will remain constant.

Hence the answer above.

Find the density of a cube on Earth that weighs 1.5 kg and has a side-length of 10 cm.
Inga [223]

Answer:

1.5g/cm³

Explanation:

density=mass÷volume

mass= 1.5kg (<em>c</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>g</em>) = 1500g

volume of the cube = 10×10×10 = 1000cm³

density= divide 1500g÷1000cm = 1.5g/cm³

<h2>Density= 1.5g/cm³</h2>

Answer:

1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY

Explanation:

For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:

1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:

Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below

1s2 2s2 2p4

The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :

X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY

Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY

A ____________ is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound
cluponka [151]
Compounds are made up of elements that exist in a fixed proportion.  These elements are composed of atoms.  Now, the atom has subatomic particles (proton, neutron and electrons), however, these particles lack the ability to take part in chemical reactions by themselves; the smallest unit of a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction, therefore, is an ATOM. 

Thus, an AT<span>OM is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound</span>

Consider the reaction of ruthenium(III) iodide with carbon dioxide and silver. RuI3 (s) 5CO (g) 3Ag (s) Ru(CO)5 (s) 3AgI (s) Det
mixer [17]

Answer:

71.6 g of Ru(CO)₅ is the maximum mass that can be formed.

The limiting reactant is Ag

Explanation:

The reaction is:

RuI₃ (s) + 5CO (g) + 3Ag (s) → Ru(CO)₅ (s) + 3AgI (s)

Firstly we determine the moles of each reactant:

169 g . 1mol /481.77g = 0.351 moles of RuI₃

58g . 1mol /28g = 2.07 moles of CO

96.2g . 1mol/ 107.87g = 0.892 moles

Certainly, the excess reactant is CO, therefore, the limiting would be Ag or RuI₃.

3 moles of Ag react to 1 mol of RuI₃

Then 0.892 moles of Ag may react to (0.892 . 1) /3 = 0.297 moles

We have 0.351 moles of iodide and we need 0.297 moles, so this is an excess. In conclussion, Silver (Ag) is the limiting.

1 mol of RuI₃ react to 3 moles of Ag

Then, 0.351 moles of RuI₃ may react to (0.351 . 3) /1 = 1.053 moles

It's ok, because we do not have enough Ag. We only have 0.892 moles and we need 1.053.

5 moles of CO react to 3 moles of Ag

Then, 2.07 moles of CO may react to (2.07 . 3) /5 = 1.242 moles of Ag.

This calculate confirms the theory.

Now, we determine the maximum mass of Ru(CO)₅

3 moles of of Ag can produce 1 mol of Ru(CO)₅

Then 0.892 moles may produce (0.892 . 1) /3 = 0.297 moles

We convert moles to mass → 0.297 mol . 241.07g /mol = 71.6 g
