Answer:

575,000 J

Explanation:

1) Convert the mass of water into number of moles

Molar mass of water: 18.015 g/mol

Number of moles, n = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 255 g / 18.015 g/mol = 14.15 mol

2) Use the formula E = n × ΔH vap

This is, you have to multiply the molar ΔH vaporization by the number of moles to find the total energy to boil the given amount of water.

E = 14.15 mol × 40,650 J/mol = 575,395.5 J

3) Round to the correct number of significant figures.

The mass of water is the measurement with the least number of significant figures (3), so you must report the answer with 3 significant figures,

E = 575,000 J ← answer

Explanation:

the experiment conducted is the student adds sugar to a cup of iced tea and a cup of hot tea. She notices that the time needed for the sugar to dissolve in each cup is different. She thinks this has something to do with the temperature of the tea

hypothesis: If the student puts the sugar in both glasses of tea, then the sugar in the hot tea should dissolve quicker.

How many moles of silver would precipitate out when 3.6 x 10^23 atoms of zinc are combined in silver nitrate according to the fo

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

D: 0.6 moles

Explanation:

First we balance the equation:

Zn + AgNO₃ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ag

There are two NO₃ species on the right side, so we put a two before AgNO₃:

Zn + 2AgNO₃ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ag

Now we put a two before Ag on the right, to balance the Ag atoms:

Zn + 2AgNO₃ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

The equation is now balanced.

Now we convert 3.6x10²³ atoms of zinc to moles, using Avogadro's number:

3.6x10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.6 moles

Then we convert 0.6 moles of zinc into moles of silver, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation:

0.6 mol Zn * $\frac{1molAg}{1molZn}$ = 0.6 mol Ag

Thus the answer is option D.
