Why are atomic masses on the Periodic Table written in decimals when they are based on mass numbers that can be whole numbers?

1 answer:

8 0

To allow for equations and problems in chemistry to be as precise as possible. When experiments are conducted, and even if the number is the slightest bit off, the problem or experiment could be impacted very negatively. It allows for complete accuracy to ensure nothing goes wrong, since chemistry is very touchy and risky when dealing with extremely unsafe elements.

What does Einstein’s theory of relativity expalain?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. How gravity interacts with planets

Explanation:

Einstein's theory of relativity formulated in 1915 introduces the following concepts:

- Formula E = mc2 (relationship between energy, mass, speed of light)

- How nuclear energy is produced

-After seeing a solar eclipse, gravity is interpreted geometrically (which is an effect of distortion)

-Relative time

A 125g metal block at a temperature of 93.2 degrees Celsius was immersed in 100g of water at 18.3 degrees Celsius. Given the spe

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{34.2\, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.

Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.

Data:

For the metal:

$m_{1} =\text{125 g; }T_{i} = 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{1} = 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

For the water:

$m_{2} =\text{100 g; }T_{i} = 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{2} = 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by metal + heat gained by water} & = & 0\\q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\\text{125 g}\times 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times\Delta T_{1} + \text{100 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\Delta \times T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} + 418.4\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} & = & -418.4\Delta T_{2}\\\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\\end{array}$

$\Delta T_{1} = T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{2} = T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719 (T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C})\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719T_{\text{f}} + 68.06 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\4.719T_{\text{f}} & = & 161.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\T_{\text{f}} & = & \mathbf{34.2 ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{The final temperature of the block and the water is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{34.2\, ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}}$}$

<span>Answer: it shows that 1mol mCPHA provides the oxygens to 1 mol of propene, to make 1 mole of C3H6O so: 1 mol C3H6 & 1 mol mCPHA --> 1 mol C3H6O using molar masses, that equation becomes: 42.08grams C3H6 & 172.57grams mCPHA --> 58.08grams C3H6O which is: 42.08 kg C3H6 & 172.57 kg mCPHA --> 58.08 kg C3H6O to produce 1 kg of C3H6O, this becomes: 42.08 / 58.08 kg C3H6 & 172.57 / 58.08 kg mCPHA --> 58.08 /58.08 kg C3H6O which is: 0.72452 kg C3H6 & 2.9712 kg mCPHA --> 1 kg C3H6O but because the reaction gives only a 96% yield, we scale up the reactants to get that desired 1 kg of C3H6O (0.72452 kg ) (100/96) C3H6 & (2.9712 kg) (100/96) mCPHA --> 1 kg C3H6O which is: 0.75471 kg C3H6 & 3.095 kg mCPHA --> 1 kg C3H6O ========= costs per kg of C3H6O produced: (0.75471 kg C3H6) ($10.97 per kg) = $8.279 (3.095 kg mCPHA) ($5.28 per kg) = $16.342 & (0.75471 kg C3H6) / (0.0210 kg C3H6 / L dichloromethane) = 35.939 Litres dichloromethane (35.939 Litres dichloromethane) ($2.12 per L) = $ 76.19 & waste disposal is $5.00 per kilogram of propene oxide produced total cost, disregarding labor,energy, & facility costs: $8.279 & $16.342 & $ $ 76.19 & $5.00 = $105.81 per kg C3H6O produced ========== profit: ($258.25 / kg C3H6O) - ($105.81 cost per kg) = $152.44 profit /kg â€śCalculate the profit from producing 75.00kg of propene oxideâ€ť (75.00kg) ($152.44 /kg) = $11,433 that answer rounded off to four sig figs, is $11,430</span>
