Does a laboratory balance measure mass or weight

1 answer:

5 0

A balance in a lab measures the weight of a substance or object.
Weight is the mass of the body x the gravitation pull on the mass of the object.

So the mass of the object can be found by dividing the weight by gravitational constant.

The gravitational constant on earth is 1. so if a balance says that a substance weighs 300g then its mass is also 300g on earth because 300/1 = 300.

Hope that helps :)

When 5.00 g of Al2S3 and 2.50 g of H2O are reacted according to the following reaction: Al2S3(s) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

$Y=58.15\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

For the given chemical reaction:

$Al_2S_3(s) + 6 H_2O(l) \rightarrow 2 Al(OH)_3(s) + 3 H_2S(g)$

We first must identify the limiting reactant by computing the reacting moles of Al2S3:

$n_{Al_2S_3}=5.00gAl_2S_3*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{150.158 gAl_2S_3} =0.0333molAl_2S_3$

Next, we compute the moles of Al2S3 that are consumed by 2.50 of H2O via the 1:6 mole ratio between them:

$n_{Al_2S_3}^{consumed}=2.50gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{6molH_2O}=0.0231mol Al_2S_3$

Thus, we notice that there are more available Al2S3 than consumed, for that reason it is in excess and water is the limiting, therefore, we can compute the theoretical yield of Al(OH)3 via the 2:1 molar ratio between it and Al2S3 with the limiting amount:

$m_{Al(OH)_3}=0.0231molAl_2S_3*\frac{2molAl(OH)_3}{1molAl_2S_3}*\frac{78gAl(OH)_3}{1molAl(OH)_3} =3.61gAl(OH)_3$

Finally, we compute the percent yield with the obtained 2.10 g:

$Y=\frac{2.10g}{3.61g} *100\%\\\\Y=58.15\%$

Best regards.

What type of relationship does temperature and pressure have?

blsea [12.9K]

Pressure is directly proportional to temperature.

<span>From the ideal gas law- </span>PV= nRT

by making P the subject of the formula, P= nRT/V

<span>This implies that Pressure is directly proportional to temperature, OR, as pressure increases, temperature will increase proportionally.</span>

Why can alkaline batteries not be recharged

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The biggest risk with recharging alkaline batteries is leakage. As you probably know, alkaline batteries leak even under normal circumstances. Internal off gassing, made worse by heat, creates pressure that can breach battery seals. Therefore, the risk of leakage is an even bigger risk when recharging.
