Answer:

457859J

Explanation:

The parameters given in this question are;

Melting point = 600 °C + 273 = 873 (Converting to kelvin)

Latent heat of fusion = 4.00 × 105 J/kg

Specific heat of capacity (C) = 900J/kg ∙ K

Mass = 500g /1000 = 0.5kg (Converting to Kg)

Initial temperature = 27 + 273 = 300K (Converting to kelvin)

How much heat required to melt it?

To solve this problem, you'll need the formula that relates heat energy to mass and heat of fusion, and heat capacity.

This question is two parts.

We have to calculate how much heat would be required to raise its temperature from 27 to 660 (melting point) and then heat required to melt it.

Heat required to raise its temperature (H1)

H1 = mCθ

θ = T2 - T1 = 873 -  300 = 573K

H1 = 0.5 * 900 * 573

H1 = 257850J

Heat required to melt (H2)

H2 = mL

H2 = 0.5 * 4.00 × 10^5

H2 = 200000J

Total amount of heat required = H1 + H2 = 257859 + 200000

= 457859J

what is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminum
igomit [66]

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

Niven wants to calculate the mass of mgo that is produced by burning of 28.0g of mg. What is the first step in nivens calculatio
babymother [125]

Answer: -

The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.

The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g

Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g

Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO

From the balanced equation we see that

2 Mg gives 2 MgO

2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.

28g of MgO gives \frac{2 x 40 gram x 28 gram }{2 x 24 gram}

= 46.66 g of MgO.

Use the following balanced reaction to solve:
Naily [24]

Answer:  60.7 g of PH_3 will be formed.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given volume}}{\text{Molar volume}}    

\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{60L}{22.4L}=2.68moles

The balanced chemical reaction is

P_4(s)+6H_2(g)\rightarrow 4PH_3(g)

H_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and P_4 is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

6 moles of H_2 produce = 4 moles of PH_3

Thus 2.68 moles of H_2 will produce=\frac{4}{6}\times 2.68=1.79moles  of PH_3

Mass of PH_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1.79moles\times 33.9g/mol=60.7g

Thus 60.7 g of PH_3 will be formed by reactiong 60 L of hydrogen gas with an excess of P_4

A gas sample occupies 350.0 mL at 546 mm Hg. What volume does the gas occupy at 652 mm Hg?​
leva [86]

Answer:

293.1 mL.

Explanation:

  • Boyle's law states that: at a constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
  • It can be expressed as: <em>P₁V₁ = P₂V₂,</em>

P₁ = 546.0 mm Hg, V₁ = 350.0 mL.

P₂ = 652.0 mm Hg, V₂ = ??? mL.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁)/(P₂)</em> = (546.0 mm Hg)(350.0 mL) / (652.0 mm Hg) = <em>293.1 mL.</em>
