- Dalton reported that seven pounds of Oxygen reacted with one pound of hydrogen to form water, but accurate modern experiment gives eight pounds to one.
- Lavoisier reported that water contains Oxygen 5.6 times more than hydrogen by weight. 
- Dalton assumed that water contains 1 atom of oxygen and 1 atom of hydrogen and concluded that the relative weight of O must be 5.6 times as large as the H atom.
- By determining the relative mass we will be able to determine for example that one element has twice the mass of a second element.

What object has a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 2 mL
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Destiny = 5 g/ml

Explanation:

The formula for density is d=

Knowing this, divide your mass by volume:

10 g / 2 ml = 5 g/ml

Final answer:

Destiny = 5 g/ml

Which has a higher concentration of water molecules— 200 molecules of water, or a mixture of 300 molecules of water and 100 mole
Dovator [93]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

            200 molecules of water has the highest concentration.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                    In chemistry, Concentration is defined as the amount of substance divided by the total volume of the constituents making the mixture.

<u>Case 1:</u> 200 Molecules of Water:

                                                     In this case we are having system which is made up of 200 purely water molecules and there is no other substance present in the system. Hence, for ease we can write it as,

           Concentration  =  Molecules of Water ÷ Total Molecules of Mixture

           Concentration  =  200 ÷ 200

           Concentration  =  1

<u>Case 2:</u> 300 Molecules of Water and 100 Molecules of Food Coloring:

                                                     In this case we are having a mixture which is made up of 300 water molecules and 200 food coloring molecules. Hence, we can write it as,

           Concentration  =  Molecules of Water ÷ Total Molecules of Mixture

           Concentration  =  300 ÷ (300 + 200)

           Concentration  =  300 ÷ 500

           Concentration  =  0.6

Therefore, it is proved that the concentration of pure 200 molecules of water is greater.

A 15.0 gram unknown piece of metal at 99°C is added to 75 grams of water at 23°C. The final temperature of the metal and water i
Nina [5.8K]

By law of conservation of energy, the amount of heat lost by the metal should be equal to the amount of heat gained by water. That is, the change in energy (expressed in enthalpies) should be equal:

- (ΔH)metal = (ΔH)water

Take note of the negative sign in front of (ΔH)metal, this means that heat is lost by this metal.

Where ΔH or change in enthalpy is:

ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)

 

So,

- 15 g (Cp) (23 °C – 99 °C) = 75 g (4.18 J/g * °C) (26 °C – 23 °C)

1,140 Cp = 940.5

<span>Cp = 0.825 J/g * °C           (ANSWER)</span>

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 x 108 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a circ
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

0.13 s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 24900 mile to metres (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mile = 1609.344 m

Therefore,

24900 mile = 24900 mile × 1609.344 m / 1 mile

24900 mile = 4.01×10⁷ m

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for light to circumnavigate the Earth, this can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 4.01×10⁷ m

Speed = 2.998×10⁸ m/s

Time =?

Speed = distance / time

2.998×10⁸ = 4.01×10⁷ / time

Cross multiply

2.998×10⁸ × time = 4.01×10⁷

Divide both side by 2.998×10⁸

Time = 4.01×10⁷ / 2.998×10⁸

Time = 0.13 s

Thus, it will take 0.13 s for light to circumnavigate the Earth.
