Explain why mass cannot be used as a property to identify a sample of matter.

1 answer:

4 0

Mass cannot be used as a property to identidy a sample of matter because it is an extensive property which depends on the amount of matter in a sample, not the tupe of matter it is.

When equal volumes of 0.5 M HCl and 0.5 M Ca(OH)2 are mixed, the resulting solution is

Mademuasel [1]

The concentration of mixed solution = 0.5 M

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

0.5 M HCl

0.5 M Ca(OH)₂

Required

The concentration

Solution

Molarity from 2 solutions :

Vm Mm = V₁. M₁ + V₂. M₂

m = mixed solution

V = volume

M = molarity

V = mixed volume

1 = solution 1

2 = solution 2

Vm = V₁+V₂

Equal volumes⇒V₁=V₂, and Vm = 2V, then equation becomes :

2V.Mm = V(M₁+M₂)

2V.Mm = V(0.5+0.5)

Mm=0.5 M

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

Answer: The system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{c}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of $K_c$ = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

For the given images:

For a:

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16$

For b:

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2$

For c:

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6$

For d:

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Which is the formula for calculating density

o-na [289]

The Density Calculator uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). The calculator can use any two of the values to calculate the third. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

1. How are ionic compounds named?

ella [17]

Ionic compounds are neutral compounds made up of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. For binary ionic compounds (ionic compounds that contain only two types of elements), the compounds are named by writing the name of the cation first followed by the name of the anion.
