When wood burns, the mass of the ash is less than the mass of the original wood. Yet the law of conservation of matter says that

mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. How do you reconcile the result of burning with this law? (Page 112).

Explanation:

According to the law of the conservation of mass, 'mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. The mass cannot be created nor be destroyed in a chemical process'.

This law holds true for the burning of wood also. Although the wood burns to produce ash which weighs less than wood but also, it produces some soot and other gases and the sum of the masses of all these is equal to the sum of the masses of wood and oxygen that reacted with it.

What is the standard unit used to measure mass
AlladinOne [14]
The standard International System of Units (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram(kg). The kilogram is 1000 grams (g), first defined in 1795 as one cubic decimeter of water at the melting point of ice.

What is the molarity of a solution that is made by mixing 35.5 g of Ba(OH)2 in 325 ml of solution?
choli [55]

Answer:

M=0.638M

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is calculated by diving the moles of solute by the volume of solution in liters, we first compute the moles of barium hydroxide in 35.5 g as shown below:

n=35.5g Ba(OH)_2*\frac{1molBa(OH)_2}{171.34gBa(OH)_2}\\\\n=0.207mol

Then, the liters of solution:

V=325mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} =0.325L

Finally, the molarity turns out:

M=\frac{0.207mol}{0.325L}\\\\M=0.638M

Best regards!

Four research teams measured the rotation period of a newly detected neutron star, and what each team wrote in its team notebook
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct measurement is .710 s which is equal to .71 s so second measurement that is 0.71 s is most accurate measurement .

B.  0.71s is the most accurate .

Precision depends upon measuring instrument . Measurement by highly precise instrument has greater precision .

The measurement of 0.75 ± 0.002s must have been taken from high precise instrument because it is capable of making measurement upto 3 decimal points .

Hence

C 0.75 ± 0.002s is most precise measurement .

H₂ (2)<br> → H.<br> H₂(8)<br> +<br> 2(g)<br> wer
Gre4nikov [31]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

In the chemical reaction: , with 8 grams of and 16 grams of and the reaction goes to completion, what is the excess reactant and how much of that would remain?

A) 6 grams of  

B) 7 grams of  

C) 8 grams of

D) 12 grams of

E) 14 grams of

Answer: A) 6 grams of H_2

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{8g}{2g/mol}=4moles

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{16g}{32g/mol}=0.5moles

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of O_2 require 2 moles of H_2

Thus 0.5 moles of O_2 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.5=1.0moles  of H_2

Thus O_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_2 is the excess reagent.

(4.0-1.0) = 3.0 moles of  are left unreacted

Mass of remained=

Thus 6.0 g of H_2 will remain.
