Some water released 7800 J of energy when cooled from 78°C to 33°C. What was the mass of the water?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

-41. 47

Explanation:

m = q / Cp x T

m = Mass

q = Energy (or joules)

Cp = Heat Capacity

T = Change in Temperature

Water's heat capacity is always 4.18.

This is the formula you'll need for change in temperature:

Final - Initial

So, 33 - 78 = -45

m = 7800 / 4.18 x -45

= -41.47

A sample of an unknown biochemical compound is found to have a percent composition of 45.46 percent carbon, 7.63 percent hydroge
Leona [35]

Answer:

Formular = C₅H₁₁NO₃

Explanation:

The empirical formular is the simplest formular of a compound can have.

We use the steps below to obtain the empirical formular;

Step 1: Obtain the mass of each element present in grams. Element % = mass in g = m.

Carbon = 45.46% = 45.46g

Hydrogen = 7.63% = 7.63g

Nitrogen = 10% = 10g

Oxygen = 100% - (45.46% + 7.63% + 10%) = 36.31% = 36.31g

Step 2: Determine the number of moles of each type of atom present.

Molar amount (M) = m/atomic mass

Carbon = 45.46 / 12 = 3.7883

Hydrogen = 7.63 / 1 = 7.63

Nitrogen = 10 / 14 = 0.7143

Oxygen = 36.91 / 16 = 2.3069

Step 3: Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles. Smallest = 0.7143

Carbon = 3.7883 / 0.7143 = 5.3035

Hydrogen = 7.63 / 0.7143 = 10.67

Nitrogen =  0.7143 / 0.7143 = 1

Oxygen = 2.2693 / 0.7143 = 3.1770

Step 4: Convert numbers to whole numbers

Carbon = 5

Hydrogen = 11

Nitrogen = 1

Oxygen = 3

Formular = C₅H₁₁NO₃

5. How can you tell the difference between CuS and Cu2S
puteri [66]

Answer:

Density, melting point. and magnetic properties  

Explanation:

I can think of three ways.

1. Density

The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.

It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.

2. Melting point

Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).

A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.

3. Magnetic properties

You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.

In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.

In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.

A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.

A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.

In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.
