The answer is: the mass of carbon is 420.6 grams.

m(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g; mass of octane.

M(C₈H₁₈) = 114.22 g/mol; molar mass of octane.

n(C₈H₁₈) = m(C₈H₁₈) ÷ M(C₈H₁₈).

n(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g ÷ 114.22 g/mol.

n(C₈H₁₈) = 4.38 mol; amount of octane.

In one molecule of octane, there are eight carbon atoms:

n(C) = 8 · n(C₈H₁₈).

n(C) = 8 · 4.38 mol.

n(C) = 35.02 mol; amount of carbon.

m(C) = 35.02 mol · 12.01 g/mol.

m(C) = 420.6 g; mass of carbone.

A gas with a volume of 4.0L at a pressure of 205 kPa is allowed to expand to a volume of 12000 mL. What is the pressure in atmos

Leni [432]

Answer: The pressure in atmospheres is 0.674 in the container if the temperature remains constant.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 205 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 4.0 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 12000 ml = 12 L (1L=1000ml)

$205\times 4.0=P_2\times 12$

$P_2=68.3kPa=0.674atm$ (1kPa=0.0098atm)

Therefore, the pressure in atmospheres is 0.674 in the container if the temperature remains constant.

When a 1.00 L sample of water from the surface of the Dead Sea (which is more than 400 meters below sea level and much saltier t

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Molarity of $MgCl_2$ in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}$

${\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}$

$Molarity=1.96mol/L$

Thus molarity of $MgCl_2$ in the original sample was 1.96M

What does it mean to optimize a solution ? How are solutions optimize

Romashka [77]

Question

What does it mean to optimize a solution?

To find out best possible solution for a given problem within the given constraint is generally termed as optimization

How are solution optimize ?

To solve an optimization problem, begin by drawing a picture and introducing variables. Find an equation relating the variables. Find a function of one variable to describe the quantity that is to be minimized or maximized. Look for critical points to locate local extrema.
