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.

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) = 96.1 g

<u>To determine:</u>

Theoretical yield of calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Balanced Chemical reaction-

3Ca(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 → 6NaNO3 + Ca3(PO4)2

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

3 moles of Ca(NO3)2 produces 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2

Now,

Given mass of Ca(NO3)2 =  96.1 g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 =  164 g/mol

# moles of ca(NO3)2 = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Therefore, # moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0589 * 1/3 = 0.0196 moles

Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 310 g/mol

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0196 * 310 = 6.076 g

Ans: Theoretical yield of Ca3(PO4)2 = 6.08 g

Why do different elements make different color flames when you burn them?
Dovator [93]
When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. ... The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

Explain where the water that collects on the outside of a cold drink on a hot day comes from.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

It is because water molecules in the air condensed on to the container of the drink.

Explanation:

The way this works is the water molecules outside are hot and in the gas state, so when they come into contact with the cold side of the container they lose energy due to heat transfer between the molecules and the container, becoming a liquid on the side of the drink.
