How can you tell that a white powder is salt without tasting it?

1 answer:

7 0

You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.

A synthesis reaction takes place when carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form methanol (CH3OH). How many grams

jek_recluse [69]

The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

Step 1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01 2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

Step 3. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of CH_3OH we can obtain from each reactant.

From CO: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

From H_2: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

CO is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

Step 4. Calculate the mass of CH_3OH

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH

Calculate the energy E of a sample of 3.50 mol of ideal oxygen gas (O2) molecules at a temperature of 310 K. Assume that the mol

love history [14]

Answer:

13.53 kJ

Explanation:

The energy of a gas can be calculated by the equation:

E = (3/2)*n*R*T

Where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol.K), and T is the temperature.

E = (3/2)*3.5*8.314*310

E = 13,531.035 J

E = 13.53 kJ

: If you know that a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then you can also say that a ∝ bc, or the product of b and c. Take the above three proportio

aleksley [76]

Answer:

V ∝ abc

Explanation:

This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:

Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.

Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.

In this exercise:

If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc

Taking the above three proportionalities,

V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c

V ∝ a ∝ bc

V ∝ abc
