Answer:

The Independent variable is the variable which does not rely of the other variables. It stays the same.

The Dependent variable is the variable that is measured or changed.

Explanation:

The Independent variable is usually the x value of a table or graph

the Dependent variable is usually the y value of a table or graph

I hope this helps!

How many joules of heat are required to raise the temperature of 174g of gold from 22°C to 85°C? The specific heat of gold is 0.

Slav-nsk [51]

Remembering the equation Q=MCdeltaT where
q=is the amount of heat energy
M=mass
C=specific heat
deltaT= change in temperature

Therefore, using the equation we can substitute values and solve for q.
Q= (15 grams) (0.129 J/(gx°C))(85-22)
Q=(15) ((0.129 J/(gx°C)) (63)
Q=121.9 Joules

The energy needed to raise the temperature of 15 grams of gold from 22 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius is then 121.9 Joules or 122 Joules (if rounded up).

Serga [27]

Answer:

A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Explanation:

The purpose of the addition of the saturated aqueous solution of polar solvents like sodium chloride in the liquid-liquid extraction techniques is to remove as well as separate any kind of water which may be dissolved in the ether. Water and sodium chloride are both polar and thus, they forms the bottom layer and only ether forms the top layer. The compound being organic and is colored is in the top layer with the ether.

Hence, answer - A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

2. A reaction vessel is charged with hydrogen iodide, which partially decomposes to molecular hydrogen and iodine:2HI (g) H2(g)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is established when there are two opposite reactions that take place simultaneously at the same speed.

For the general chemical equation for a homogeneous gas phase system:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of compounds A, B, C and D, the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

$Kp=\frac{P_{C} ^{c} *P_{D} ^{d} }{P_{A} ^{a} *P_{B} ^{b} }$

Where Px is the partial pressure of each of the components once equilibrium has been reached and they are expressed in atmospheres. The equilibrium constant Kp depends solely on temperature and is dimensionless.

In the case of the reaction:

2 HI (g) ⇔ H₂ (g) + I₂ (g)

the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

$Kp=\frac{P_{H_{2} } *P_{I_{2} } }{P_{HI} ^{2} }$

The system comes to equilibrium at 425 °C, and

PHI = 0.794 atm
PH2 = 0.0685 atm
PI2 = 0.0685 atm

Replacing:

$Kp=\frac{0.0685*0.0685}{0.794^{2} }$

Kp=7.44*10⁻³

<u><em>The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³</em></u>
