Answer:

Mass is the measurement of what amount of matter is contained in an object. Whereas

weight is the measurement the pull of gravity on an object.

Another way to differentiate both is Mass is measured on a balance comparing a known amount a matter of to an unknown amount of matter and weight is measured on a scale.

When the following aqueous solutions are mixed together, a precipitate forms. Balance the net ionic equation in standard form fo

rewona [7]

Answer:

For (a): The balanced net ionic equation is $2Ag^{+}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2S(s)$ and the sum of coefficients is 4

For (b): The balanced net ionic equation is $Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)$ and the sum of coefficients is 4

For (c): The balanced net ionic equation is $Ca^{2+}(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ and the sum of coefficients is

For (d): The balanced net ionic equation is $Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Ba(OH)_2(s)$ and the sum of coefficients is 4

For (e): The balanced net ionic equation is $Ag^{+}(aq)+Cl^{-}(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)$ and the sum of coefficients is 3

Explanation:

Net ionic equation is defined as the equations in which spectator ions are not included.

Spectator ions are the ones that are present equally on the reactant and product sides. They do not participate in the reaction.

For (a): Sodium sulfide and silver nitrate

The balanced molecular equation is:

$Na_2S(aq)+2AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+Ag_2S(s)$

The complete ionic equation follows:

$2Na^{+}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)+2Ag^+(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+Ag_2S(s)$

As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

$2Ag^{+}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2S(s)$

Sum of the coefficients = [2 + 1 + 1] = 4

For (b): Lead(II) nitrate and sodium chloride

The balanced molecular equation is:

$2NaCl(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+PbCl_2(s)$

The complete ionic equation follows:

$2Na^{+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)+Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+PbCl_2(s)$

As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)$

Sum of the coefficients = [2 + 1 + 1] = 4

For (c): Calcium nitrate and potassium carbonate

The balanced molecular equation is:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+CaCO_3(s)$

The complete ionic equation follows:

$2K^{+}(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)+Ca^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+CaCO_3(s)$

As potassium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

$Ca^{2+}(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$

Sum of the coefficients = [1 + 1 + 1] = 3

For (d): Barium nitrate and sodium hydroxide

The balanced molecular equation is:

$2NaOH(aq)+Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+Ba(OH)_2(s)$

The complete ionic equation follows:

$2Na^{+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)+Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+Ba(OH)_2(s)$

As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions

The net ionic equation follows:

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Ba(OH)_2(s)$

Sum of the coefficients = [2 + 1 + 1] = 4

For (e): Silver nitrate and sodium chloride

The balanced molecular equation is:

$NaCl(aq)+AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+AgCl(s)$

The complete ionic equation follows:

$Na^{+}(aq)+Cl^{-}(aq)+Ag^{+}(aq)+NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)+AgCl(s)$

As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

$Ag^{+}(aq)+Cl^{-}(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)$

Sum of the coefficients = [1 + 1 + 1] = 3

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 670g of water from 25.7"C to 66,0°C? The specific heat

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

q= mc theta

where,

Q = heat gained

m = mass of the substance = 670g

c = heat capacity of water= 4.1 J/g°C

theta =Change in temperature=( 66-25.7)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the amount of heat needed.

q= mctheta

q=670*4.1*(66-25.7)

=670*4.1*40.3

=110704.1

You have 0.14 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl). How many grams do you have? ( 1 mole of NaCl = 58 grams NaCl) *

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct = 8.12 grams of NaCl

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of sodium chloride = 0.14 mol

Mass of sodium chloride = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass of NaCl / Molar mass of NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

0.14 mol = Mass of NaCl / 58 g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 0.14 mol × 58 g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 8.12 g of NaCl

Thus, 0.14 moles of NaCl contain 8.12 g of NaCl.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

84672 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 72 m

Combined mass (m) = 120 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

We can obtain the energy by using the following formula:

E = mgh

Where

E => is the energy.

g => is the acceleration due to gravity

m => is the mass.

h => is the height.

E = 120 × 9.8 × 72

E = 84672 J

Thus, the energy is 84672 J
