Wood with a mass of 3.0 grams was burned in an open dish. The ashes weighed 1.2 grams.

The rest of the wood was burned into gases of equivalent weight.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The rest of the wood was burned into gases of equivalent weight.

  • When wood is burnt in the open air, with the help of oxygen and heat, it is transformed into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ashes.
  • Ignition and combustion of wood mainly depend on pyrolysis which is also known as thermal combustion.
  • The loss in weight of the ashes is due to the fact that gases and water vapor are also formed due to the combustion of wood.

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen<br> to form X g of water. X = g
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g

How will the rate at which a solid solute dissolves change if the solution is stirred?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The rate at which the solute dissolves will increase.

Explanation:

If a solution is stirred, the rate at which a solute dissolves would increase substantially provided the solution is not yet saturated.

Stiring would cause more of the solution to come in contact with every part of the solute. It will increase the surface area of contact for the solution to act which will shoot up the rate of reaction. Stiring helps to bring solutes in solutions into a more close contact with the molecules or compounds of the medium.

What is the difference between water and alcohol
Rudik [331]

Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

Explanation:

In water one oxygen atom  is covalently bound with  two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound  having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.
