Answer:

  • <u>575,000 J</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Convert the mass of water into number of moles</u>

  • 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

<u>2) Use the formula E = n × ΔH vap</u>

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

<u>3) Round to the correct number of significant figures.</u>

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

Identify the type of chemical reaction of cobalt (III) fluoride
zysi [14]

The compound crystallizes in the aluminium trifluoride motif. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand. The cobalt centers are octahedral.


CoF3 decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen:


4 CoF3 + 2 H2O → 4 HF + 4 CoF2 + O2

It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion [CoF6]3−, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center.

What is the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 in the equation Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O when balanced using the smallest possible coe
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.

Now the equationis balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Gold has a molar (atomic) mass of 197 g/mol. consider a 2.47 g sample of pure gold vapor. (a) calculate the number of moles of g
adell [148]
N = given mass/ molar mass.
n = number of moles
given mass = 2.47 g
molar mass = 197 g/mol

n = 2.47 / 197 
n = 0.01253 moles.
I'm sure you wanted to ask more than this. Just put some comments in. I can do the same.

Rank these compounds by their expected boiling point? CH4 CH3Cl CH3OH? Lowest to highest; 10+ for the best explanation. Thank yo
docker41 [41]
Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.<span />
