Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago

To find percent composition do "parts over the whole" ---> each individual mass over the total mass times 100 (since it is a percentage). 

total mass ("the whole")= 73.5 + 42.0 + 72.3 grams= 150 grams

1. Carbon %= 73.5 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 49.0%

2. Hydrogen %= 4.20 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 2.80%

3. Chlorine %= 72.3 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 48.2%

The metallic radius of an aluminum atom is 143 pm. What is the volume of an aluminum atom in cubic meters?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

6.61 × 10∧-29 m³

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic radius= 143 pm = 143 × 10∧-12 m

volume = ?

Formula:

r = a/2√2

143 × 10∧-12 m = a/ 2√2

a= 143 × 10∧-12 m × 2√2

a= 404.4 × 10∧-12 m

where a is edge length, so we can calculate the volume by using following formula:

volume= a³

V= (404.4 × 10∧-12 m)³

v= 6.61 × 10∧-29 m³

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 40.0 mL of water at 17.0°C. The water reaches a temperatur
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 502 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{40.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 40.0mL)=40.0g

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by lead will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

q=m\times c\times \Delta T

q = heat absorbed by water

m = mass of water = 40.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 20.0°C

T_{initial = initial temperature of water = 17.0°C

c = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q=40.0\times 4.186\times (20.0-17.0)]

q=502J

Hence, the joules of heat were re-leased by the lead is 502
