A 3.540-g sample of an unknown metal M is burned in the presence of excess oxygen, producing the oxide M2O3(s) and liberating 18

.56 kJ of heat at constant pressure. What is the identity of the metal? 4M(s) + 3O2(g) → 2M2O3(s) SubstanceΔH°f (kJ/mol) Yb2O3(s)–1814.6 Tb2O3(s)–1865.2 Sm2O3(s)–1823.0 Sc2O3(s)–1908.8 Y2O3(s)–1905.3 a) Sm b) Tb c) Y d) Sc e) Yb

Answer:

a) Sm

Explanation:

Hello,

This substantiation could be done by knowing how to compute the released energy for 1 mol the oxide. Thus, for Sm, the computation turns out into:

Q=-1823.0\frac{kJ}{mol}*\frac{1molSm_2O_3}{348.72gSm_2O_3} *3.540gSm_2O_3\\Q=-18.5kJ

The sign just indicates that the heat is released due to the chemical reaction and it matches with the indicated heat in the statement.

Best regards.

How many moles of HCl are present in 40.0 mL of a 0.035 M solution? 1. 0.0014 mol 2. 0.0060 mol 3. 0.25 mol?
Vinil7 [7]
40.0mL(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.040 L 

<span>then plug into the formula M = moles/liters </span>

<span>0.035 M = moles/ 0.040L </span>

<span>multipy both sides by 0.040L, and you get 0.0014 moles </span>

<span>so the answer is 1</span>

The reaction below demonstrates which characteristic of a base?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.


Justification:


NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:


  • NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

  • CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will  react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).


That is what the given reaction represents:


  CuSO₄ (aq)     +     2NaOH(aq)    →    Cu(OH)₂(s)       +     Na₂SO₄(aq)

         ↑                                ↑                         ↑                            ↑

soluble metal salt       strong base       insoluble base       solube salt

A prion is an infectious self-reproducing protein structure. true or false
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

True is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • The statement that a prion is an infectious, self-reproducing protein structure is true.
  • prion is an infectious particle and they do not have genetic material.
  • Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.
  • Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
  • prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.
