Answer:

sample C have the highest density

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of sample A = 224.96 g

Convert g to kg

1 g = 0.001 Kg

224.96 g = 224.96 x 0.001 = 0.225 kg

mass of sample B = 0.55632 Ibs

Convert lbs to kg

2.21 lb = 1 kg

0.55632 Ibs = 0.55632 / 2 = 0.278 kg

mass of sample C = 0.30648 kg

Solution:

To calculate density of every sample we have the following formula

d = m/v . . . . . . . . . . (1)

It is clear from the formula that density have direct relation with mass and inverse relation with volume, that is density increase with increasing in mass.

As we have same volume of wood sample, so suppose that each sample have volume of 2 cm³

So now we find density for each sample

As for sample A

mass of sample A = 0.225 kg

supposed volume = 2 cm³

Put values in formula 1

d = 0.225 kg / 2 cm³

d = 0.128 kg/cm³

As for sample B

mass of sample A = 0.278 kg

supposed volume = 2 cm³

Put values in formula 1

d = 0.278 kg / 2 cm³

d = 0.139 kg/cm³

As for sample C

mass of sample C = 0.30648 kg

supposed volume = 2 cm³

Put values in formula 1

d = 0.30648 kg / 2 cm³

d = 0.153 kg/cm³

So it shows that sample C have the highest density that is 0.153 kg/cm³ . As it have the highest mass too among all samples.

How many grams of NaCl do you need to prepare 200 ml of a 5M solution? The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.4 g/mol. Smol 0.2L-1mo

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 58.4 g of NaCl

Explanation:

Data

Volume = 200 ml = 0.2 l

Concentration = 5M

MW = 58.4 g

mass NaCl = ?

Formula

Molarity = (# of moles ) / volume

# of moles = Molarity x volume

# of moles = 5 x 0.2

# of moles = 1

58.4 g ---------------------- 1 mol

x --------------------- 1 mol

x = (1 x 58.4) / 1

x = 58.4 g of NaCl

When backpacking in the wilderness, hikers often boil water to sterilize it for drinking. Suppose that you are planning a backpa

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

2.104 L fuel

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water = 35 L = 35 × 10³ mL

initial temperature of water = 25.0 ° C

The amount of heat needed to boil water at this temperature can be calculated by using the formula:

$q_{boiling} = mc \Delta T$

where

specific heat of water c= 4.18 J/g° C

$q_{boiling} = 35 \times 10^{3} \times \dfrac{1.00 \ g}{1 \ mL} \times 4.18 \ J/g^0 C \times (100 - 25)^0 C$

$q_{boiling} = 10.9725 \times 10^6 \ J$

Also; Assume that the fuel has an average formula of C7 H16 and 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water;

thus the heat of combustion can be determined via the expression

$q_{combustion} =- \dfrac{q_{boiling}}{0.15}$

$q_{combustion} =- \dfrac{10.9725 \times 10^6 J}{0.15}$

$q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{7} \ J$

$q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ$

For heptane; the equation for its combustion reaction can be written as:

$C_7H_{16} + 11O_{2(g)} -----> 7CO_{2(g)}+ 8H_2O_{(g)}$

The standard enthalpies of the products and the reactants are:

$\Delta H _f \ CO_{2(g)} = -393.5 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ H_2O_{(g)} = -242 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ C_7H_{16 }_{(g)} = -224.4 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ O_{2{(g)}} = 0 kJ/mol$

Therefore; the standard enthalpy for this combustion reaction is:

$\Delta H ^0= \sum n_p\Delta H^0_{f(products)}- \sum n_r\Delta H^0_{f(reactants)}$

$\Delta H^0 =( 7 \ mol ( -393.5 \ kJ/mol) + 8 \ mol (-242 \ kJ/mol) -1 \ mol( -224.4 \ kJ/mol) - 11 \ mol (0 \ kJ/mol))$

$\Delta H^0 = (-2754.5 \ \ kJ - 1936 \ \ kJ+224.4 \ \ kJ+0 \ \ kJ)$

$\Delta H^0 = -4466.1 \ kJ$

This simply implies that the amount of heat released from 1 mol of C7H16 = 4466.1 kJ

However the number of moles of fuel required to burn $7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ$ heat released is:

$n_{fuel} = \dfrac{q}{\Delta \ H^0}$

$n_{fuel} = \dfrac{-7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ}{-4466.1 \ kJ}$

$n_{fuel} = 16.38 \ mol \ of \ C_7 H_{16$

Since number of moles = mass/molar mass

The mass of the fuel is:

$m_{fuel } = 16.38 mol \times 100.198 \ g/mol}$

$m_{fuel } = 1.641 \times 10^{3} \ g$

Given that the density of the fuel is = 0.78 g/mL

and we know that :

density = mass/volume

therefore making volume the subject of the formula in order to determine the volume of the fuel ; we have

volume of the fuel = mass of the fuel / density of the fuel

volume of the fuel = $\dfrac{1.641 \times 10^3 \ g }{0.78 g/mL} \times \dfrac{L}{10^3 \ mL}$

volume of the fuel = 2.104 L fuel

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The can <span>from the cupboard will lose carbon dioxide more quickly because it is warmer and gases are less soluble in warmer temperatures. </span> Solubility of gases is a strong function of temperature and as well as pressure.
