Joseph Proust showed that when elements combine to form new substances, they do so in specific mass ratios.a) trueb) false

Chemistry
1 answer:
olga55 [171]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: option A) True

Explanation:

Joseph Proust is the founder of the Law of Definite proportion. This law states that two elements will always combine together to form a chemical compound and this will be in the same proportion by mass.

For Example: 2 moles of Hydrogen (H2) ALWAYS combine with 1 atom of Oxygen (O) to yield water (H2O)

So, the answer is True

If you feed 100 kg of N2 gas and 100 kg of H2 gas into a
torisob [31]

Answer : The mass of ammonia produced can be, 121.429 k

Solution : Given,

Mass of N_2 = 100 kg  = 100000 g

Mass of H_2 = 100 kg = 100000 g

Molar mass of N_2 = 28 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2 = 2 g/mole

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of N_2 and H_2.

\text{ Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }N_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }N_2}=\frac{100000g}{28g/mole}=3571.43moles

\text{ Moles of }H_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }H_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }H_2}=\frac{100000g}{2g/mole}=50000moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of N_2 react with 3 mole of H_2

So, 3571.43 moles of N_2 react with 3571.43\times 3=10714.29 moles of H_2

From this we conclude that, H_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and N_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of NH_3

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of N_2 react to give 2 mole of NH_3

So, 3571.43 moles of N_2 react to give 3571.43\times 2=7142.86 moles of NH_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of NH_3

\text{ Mass of }NH_3=\text{ Moles of }NH_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_3

\text{ Mass of }NH_3=(7142.86moles)\times (17g/mole)=121428.62g=121.429kg

Therefore, the mass of ammonia produced can be, 121.429 kg

How many joules of heat are required to heat 110 g of aluminum from 52.0 oC to 91.5 oC?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

We need 3910.5 joules of energy

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 110 grams

Initial temperature = 52.0 °C

Final temperature = 91.5 °C

Specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate energy required

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒with Q = the energy required = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with m = the mass of aluminium = 110 grams

⇒with c = the specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 91.5 °C - 52.0 °C = 39.5 °C

Q = 110 grams * 0.900 J/g°C * 39.5

Q = 3910.5 J

We need 3910.5 joules of energy
