The answer is A. this process is only in the research phase

The process of fusion involves merging of atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei resulting in the release of enormous amounts of energy. Fusion takes place when two low mass isotopes, typically isotopes of hydrogen, unite under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature. Scientists continue to work on controlling nuclear fusion in an effort to make a fusion reactor to produce electricity. However, progress is slow due to challenges with understanding how to control the reaction in a contained space.

If the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O is 34 g at 20 °C and 43 g at 50 °C, label each of the following solutions as unsaturat

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a) Unsaturated

b) Supersaturated

c) Unsaturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.

An unsaturated solution contains less solute than it has the capacity to dissolve.

A supersaturated solution, contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution. Supersaturated solutions are not very stable. In time, some of the solute will come out of a supersaturated solution as crystals.

According to these definitions and considering that the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C is 34 g, and at 50 °C is 43 g we can label the solutions:

a) 30 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C ⇒ unsaturated

b) 65 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C ⇒ supersaturated

c) 42 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C and slowly cooling to 20 °C to give a clear solution with no precipitate ⇒ unsaturated (if it were saturated it would have had precipitate)

Complete combustion of 8.10 g of a hydrocarbon produced 25.9 g of CO2 and 9.27 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h

balu736 [363]

CxHy + O2 --> x CO2 + y/2 H2O

Find the moles of CO2 : 18.9g / 44 g/mol = .430 mol CO2 = .430 mol of C in compound

Find the moles of H2O: 5.79g / 18 g/mol = .322 mol H2O = .166 mol of H in compound

Find the mass of C and H in the compound:

.430mol x 12 = 5.16 g C

.166mol x 1g = .166g H

When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.

Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).

In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).
