During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma

ss of the black residue formed was 79.6 g. Does the law of conservation of mass hold true in this case? Use complete sentences to justify your answer based on numerical calculations

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which  "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)

Answer:

7. 20,000,000 mL.

8. 8,000 m.

9. 120,000 secs.

10. 4

Explanation:

7. Determination of the volume in millilitres (mL)

Volume in litre (L) = 20,000 L

Volume in millilitres (mL) =..?

The volume in mL can be obtained as follow:

1 L = 1,000 mL

Therefore,

20,000 L = 20,000 x 1,000 = 20,000,000 mL.

Therefore, 20,000 L is equivalent to 20,000,000 mL.

8. Determination of the distance in metre (m)

Distance in mile = 5 mile

Distance in metre =?

First, we shall convert from mile to kilometre.

This can be done as follow:

1 mile = 1.6 km

Therefore,

5 mile = 5 x 1.6 = 8 km

Finally, we shall convert 8 km to metre (m).

This is illustrated below:

1 km = 1,000 m

Therefore,

8 km = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 m

Therefore, 5 miles is equivalent to 8,000 m.

9. Determination of the time in seconds.

Time = 400 minutes for 5 days.

First, we shall convert 400 mins to hour.

This is illustrated below:

60 minutes = 1 hour

Therefore,

400 mins = 400/60 = 20/3 hours

The time (hours) is 20/3 hours in 1 day.

Therefore, the time (hours) in 5 days will be = 20/3 x 5 = 100/3 hours.

Next, we shall convert 100/3 hours to minutes.

This is illustrated below:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

100/3 hours = 100/3 x 60 = 2000 mins

Finally, we shall convert 2000 mins to seconds.

This is illustrated below:

1 mins = 60 secs

2000 mins = 2000 x 60 = 120,000 secs.

Therefore, the time is 120,000 secs.

10. Determination of the number of significant figures.

To obtain the significant figures of a number, we simply count all the numbers available.

Therefore, the number of significant figures for 9876 is 4.
