Answer:

35.578g or 36g if you round

Explanation:

Q=mc ∆∅ where ∅ is temperature difference

1160= m x 1.716 x (42-23)

m = 1160/ 1.716 x19

m=35.578g

m = 36g to nearest whole number

copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate are produced when potassium hydroxide reacts with copper sulfate balanced equation
a_sh-v [17]

This problem is requiring the balanced chemical equation that takes place when copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate are produced when reacting potassium hydroxide with copper sulfate.

<h3>Balancing chemical equations:</h3>

In chemistry, balancing chemical equations is based on the law of conservation of mass, which demands us to have equal number of atoms on both sides of the chemical equation. This can be accomplished by inserting coefficients in front of the chemical species.

For this particular case, we have potassium hydroxide with copper sulfate on the reactants side, however, copper can be copper (I) or copper (II) as it has 1+ and 2+ as its possible oxidation numbers. In addition, copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate as the products. Hence, we can assume this is all about copper (II) so we can write:

KOH+CuSO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2

As we can see, potassium, hydrogen and oxygen have two atoms each on the products side, but just one on the reactants side; drawback we can overcome by putting a 2 in front of KOH so as to balance it:

2KOH+CuSO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2

a chemist is studying an unknown substance he can break it into its elemental only by using chemical means.Based on this observa
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

We want to know if it's a compound or a mixture.

An example of a mixture is salt water: you can heat it hot enough to boil off the water, leaving only the salt. This is a physical change, which is how you know it's a mixture.

Something like gold is a compound: if you heat it, or hit it, you'll still only have gold. You can only break it down by chemical means, which is how you know it's a compound.

The winter is caused by __________. Which phrase best completes the sentence? indirect sunlight striking Earth Earth's far dista
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Earth's far distance from the sun

Explanation:

We have hot summers and cold winters because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun (Summer) or lean away from the Sun (Winter) 6 months later.

To separate a mixture of iron filings and salt, the most efficient method would be
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of course you could do the separation chemically. Dissolve the salt up in water, pass thru a filter, wash the iron filings with ethanol, which would encourage the salt to precipitate from solution.

I do hope I helped you! :)
