Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A change that does not lead to any difference in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, boiling point, etc of a substance are all physical properties.

On the other hand, changes that lead to bring change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical change.

For example, exploding dynamite, rotting cheese, combustion, oxidation etc are all chemical changes.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement a physical change is a change from one state of matter to another; a chemical change results in a new substance formed, is correct.

Calculate the number of sucrose molecules in a 75.0 gram sample.

zzz [600]

Answer:

1.32*10^23 molecules

Explanation:

sucrose formula: C12H22O11

molar mass: 12(12.01)+22(1.01)+11(16.00)=342.34g/mol

75.0 g C12H22O11 * (1 mol C12H22O11)/(342.34g C12H22O11)=0.219 mol C12H22O11

0.219 mol * (6.022*10^23)/mol = 1.32*10^23 molecules (three sig. figures)

Give explanations for the large drops in melting point from C to Si and from Ge to Sn.

____ [38]

As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.

Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.

Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.

Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.

The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

the temperature of a sample of water increases from 20celsius to 46.6celsius as it absorbs 5650 J of heat. what is the mass of t

Levart [38]

Answer:

m = 50.74 kg

Explanation:

We have,

Initial temperature of water is 20 degrees Celsius

Final temperature of water is 46.6 degrees Celsius

Heat absorbed is 5650 J

It is required to find the mass of the sample. The heat absorbed is given by the formula ad follows :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

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

So,

$m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{5650}{4.186\times (46.6-20)}\\\\m=50.74\ kg$

So, the mass of the sample is 50.74 kg.
