Answer:

The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns to a solid. ... This temperature is referred to as the melting point when temperatures rise above 32°F (0°C), causing ice to melt and change state from a solid to a liquid (water), as happened with the cup of crushed ice at room temperature.

I don't really know what your question is asking so I am just going to list a few facts that I think might be what you are asking.

Ice turning into water is a physical change. The ice is undergoing the process of melting which does not change it chemically (ice and water are chemically identical in the sense that they are both composed of H₂O molecules) and the only difference between water and ice is that water molecules have a higher average amount of energy than the ice molecules do. When a substance melts, the molecules within the substance gain energy (in the form of heat) which allows them to break the intermolecular forces keeping them together. Since the melting of ice requires energy, the process is endothermic which means that the ice had to get energy from its surroundings and that water has more energy than ice does as a result of the process (ΔH is positive).

I hope that helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear or if I did not answer your question.

28.7 l of propane, c3h8, are consumed in a combustion reaction. how many grams of water are produced?

lora16 [44]

The chemical reaction would be:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

For this case, we assume that gas is ideal thus in every 1 mol the volume would be 22.41 L. We calculate as follows:

28.7 L C3H8 ( 1 mol / 22.41 L ) ( 4 mol H2O / 1 mol C3H8 ) ( 18.02 g / mol ) = 92.31 g H2O produced

Hope this answers the question.

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide , carbon dioxide , n

mylen [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide (CaO), carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ , nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ , and no other substances. A small sample gives 2.389 g CaO, 1.876 g $CO_2$ , and 3.921 g $NO_2$ Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CaCN_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having calcium, carbon and nitrogen follows:

$Ca_xC_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CaO+CO_2+NO_2$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of calcium, carbon and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CaO = 2.389 g

Mass of $CO_2=1.876g$

Mass of $NO_2=3.921g$

We know that:

Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.876 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.876=0.5116g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of nitrogen:

In 46 g of nitrogen dioxide, 14 g of nitrogen is contained.

So, in 3.921 g of nitrogen dioxide, $\frac{14}{46}\times 3.921=1.193g$ of nitrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of calcium:

In 56 g of calcium oxide, 40 g of calcium is contained.

So, in 2.389 g of calcium oxide, $\frac{40}{56}\times 2.389=1.706g$ of calcium will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Calcium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Calcium}}{\text{Molar mass of Calcium}}=\frac{1.706g}{40g/mole}=0.0426moles$

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.5116g}{12g/mole}=0.0426moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Nitrogen}}=\frac{1.193g}{14g/mole}=0.0852moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0426 moles.

For Calcium = $\frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1$

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{0.0852}{0.0426}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Ca : C : N = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CaCN_2$

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units. B. Formula mass compares th

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is the choice C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.

Explanation:

1) Choice A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units.

Correct. Atomic mass units (a.m.u) is the standard unit used to express the mass of the atoms and the molecules.

Since, one atom, molecule, or formula unit is a tiny amount of material, it has a ver, very low mass, and the unit mass of a molecule is referred to one mole (6.022 × 10²³ units).

2) Choice B. Formula mass compares the mass of one formula unit of a substance to the mass of one atom of carbon-12.

Correct. The masses of atoms and compounds are referred to a standard. Such standard is the carbon-12 atom. This is, the cabon-12 atom was selected as the standard and its exact mass is 12 a.m.u.

3) Choice C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.

Incorrect. Atomic mass is the mass of the atoms, but, since, the mass of one atom is so small, the atomic mass is referred to one mole. Hence, the atomic mass has units of grams per mole.

4) Choice D. Both molecular mass and formula mass use carbon-12 as a reference standard.

Correct. As stated when explaining the option B, the mass of atoms, molecules, and formula units are referred to carbon-12 standard.

5) Choice E. Sodium chloride, an ionic compound, is said to have a formula weight, but not a molecular weight.

Correct. The reason is that ionic compounds form large structures (crystals) and, since there is not such thing as one molecule of them, they are said to have formula weight (or mass) but not a molecular weight.

The name molecules is reserved for covalent compounds, where you can formally identify molecules. E.g. Water is a molecular compound, and each molecule has molecular formula H₂O, whose mass is the molecular mass.
