This graduated cylinder has numbers representing milliliters. A student says that the volume of the liquid inside is 21.8 millil

iters. What best explains why the student is wrong? 21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured in the middle of the meniscus. 21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured at the bottom of the meniscus. Since the lines are only marked with whole numbers, the student must round to a whole number. Since the whole numbers represent milliliters, the student must use a unit smaller than milliliters.

Explanation:

The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.

(Can you check and see if there's any pictures or information that is missing?)

HELP PLEASE I HAVE A TEST TODAY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS...

Answer:

About 67 grams or 67.39 grams

Explanation:

First you would have to remember a few things:

 enthalpy to melt ice is called enthalpy of fusion.  this value is 6.02kJ/mol

  of ice  

 it takes 4.18 joules to raise 1 gram of liquid water 1 degree C

 water boils at 100 degrees C and water melts above 0 degrees C

 1 kilojoules is 1000 joules

  water's enthalpy of vaporization (steam) is 40.68 kJ/mol

  a mole of water is 18.02 grams

  we also have to assume the ice is at 0 degrees C

Step 1

Now start with your ice.  The enthalpy of fusion for ice is calculated with this formula:

q = n x ΔH    q= energy, n = moles of water, ΔH=enthalpy of fusion

Calculate how many moles of ice you have:

150g x (1 mol / 18.02 g) = 8.32 moles

Put that into the equation:

q = 8.32 mol x 6.02 = 50.09 kJ of energy to melt 150g of ice

Step 2

To raise 1 gram of water to the boiling point, it would take 4.18 joules times 100 (degrees C)  or 418 joules.

So if it takes 418 joules for just 1 gram of water, it would take 150 times that amount to raise 150g to 100 degrees C.  418 x 150 = 62,700 joules or 62.7 kilojoules.

So far you have already used 50.09 kJ to melt the ice and another 62.7 kJ to bring the water to boiling.  That's a total of 112.79 kJ.

Step 3

The final step is to see how much energy is left to vaporize the water.

Subtract the energy you used so far from what you were told you have.

265 kJ - 112.79 kJ = 152.21 kJ

Again q = mol x ΔH (vaporization)

You know you only have 152.21 kJ left so find out how many moles that will vaporize.

152.21 kJ = mol x 40.68  or   mol = 152.21 / 40.68  = 3.74 moles

This tells you that you have vaporized 3.74 moles with the energy you have left.

Convert that back to grams.

3.74 mol   x  ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 67.39 grams

stellarik [79]

Answer:

0.0177 L of nitrogen will be produced

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of sodium azide will be:

2NaN_{3}(s)--->2Na(s)+3N_{2}(g)

As per the balanced equation two moles of sodium azide will give three moles of nitrogen gas

The molecular weight of sodium azide = 65 g/mol

The mass of sodium azide used = 100 g

The moles of sodium azide used = \frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{100}{65}=1.54mol

so 1.54 moles of sodium azide will give = \frac{3X1.54}{2}=2.31mol

the volume will be calculated using ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

Where

P = Pressure = 1.00 atm

V = ?

n = moles = 2.31 mol

R = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Volume = \frac{P}{nRT}=\frac{1}{2.31X0.0821X298.15}=0.0177L

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Surface tension is also a property that enables water to travel against gravity.

Explanation:

Surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force.
