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)

Which of the following would most likely utilize a particulate control device?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Correct answer: D). All of the above The particulate control device is a device that is used for the separation of the material that is of a bigger size as compared to filter. In the factory smokestack, the particulate control device filters the particulate matter that is known to cause air pollution. In the vacuum cleaner, a fine dust particle is filtered out. In the laundry dryer, the water and dirt molecule is allowed to pass through it. Hence, all the options are correct.so therefore your answer would be all

K-2/5=11k literal equations
krek1111 [17]
-2/5 = 11k - k
-2/5 = 10k
-2/5/10 = k
-2/5 * 10 = k
-2/50 = k
k = -1/25.

-1/25 - 2/5 = 11k is true.

________ occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
Semenov [28]
The answer would be:
Precipitation sometimes occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
This happens when the air is forced to move from low elevation to high elevation due to rising terrain. This causes the air to cool adiabatically. This increases the relative humidity and causes clouds to form, under certain conditions it can also create precipitation.
