Mud has alot of water so it's easier for them to live in.
We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:
cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) +
k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) --->
cac2o4⋅h2o(s) +
2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)
We known that
the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that
of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this
into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is
molar mass of cac2o4 plus the
molar mass of h2o.
molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10
+ 18 = 146.10 g /mole
moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) =
0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles
Looking at
the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is
1:1, therefore:
moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28
x 10^-3 moles
Converting
this to mass:
mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28
x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g
Therefore:
The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in
the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>
There are several units for expressing energy, Most common are joules and kilocalories.
The conversion factor of joule to kilocalories is
1 kilo calorie = 4184 J
∴ x kilo calorie = 256 J
x =

kilo calories
Thus, 256 J = 0.0611 kilocalories
Kinetic energy=Ek
Ek=(1/2)mv²
Ek=480 J
v=8 m/s
mass=?
Ek=(1/2)mv²
480 J=(1/2)m(8 m/s)²
480 J=(32 m²/s²) m
m=(480 J)/(32 m²/s²)=15 kg
answer: the mass of the object is 15 kilograms.
