The answer is; The mercury level first falls then begin to rise rapidly.

This is because even though glass is not a good thermal conductor, the great heat variation causes the glass to gather heat and expand first even before the mercury is reached by the heat. This increases the volume of the lumen of the glass hence causing the mercury level to drop as the volume of the glass increases.

however, as the heat reaches the mercury, it also begins to expand and the levels stop falling and begin to rise.

128g of sulphur are burned in excess oxygen. What mass of sulphur dioxide forms? S + O2 --> SO2 *

Rasek [7]

Mass of Sulphur dioxide : 256 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

S + O2 --> SO2 *

Required

Mass of Sulphur dioxide

Solution

mol of Sulphur (Ar=32 g/mol) :

mol = mass : Ar

mol = 128 : 32

mol = 4

From the equation, mol ratio S : SO2 = 1 : 1, so mol SO2 = 4

Mass of SO2 :

mass = mol x MW SO2

mass = 4 x 64

mass = 256 g

If 4.12 l of a 0.850 m-h3po4 solution is be diluted to a volume of 10.00 l, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?

statuscvo [17]

The process in which the concentration of the solution is lessened by the addition of water is said to be dilution and equation of dilution relates the initial concentration and volume of stock solution with the final concentration and volume of the solution.

Formula is given by:

$C_{1}V_{1}=C_{2}V_{2}$ (1)
