A board has a mass of 750 g. If you ground the whole board down to sawdust, what would be the mass of the pile of sawdust?

1 answer:

4 0

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. For example in an isolated system, mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products. Thus, mass or the quantity of the system under consideration will remain unchanged through any physical or chemical process.

In the given example, the board initially has a mass of 750 g. It is physical transformed to sawdust by grinding. Based on the conservation of mass, the pile of sawdust would still weigh 750 g.

How many liters in .75 moles of methane gas at stp?

marin [14]

<span>At STP 1 mol of an ideal gas has a volume of 22.4 L. We assume (from the question) that the methane has an ideal behavior. Hence if 1 mole of an ideal gas ccupies a volume of 22.4 L Then 0.75 mole occupies X Hence X * 1 = 0.75 * 22.4 X = 16.8L</span>

Which of the following reagents convert(s) benzoyl chloride to phenyl propyl ketone?a. CH3CH2CH2MgBrb. CH3CH2CH2Lic. (CH3CH2CH2)

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:C

(CH3CH2CH2)2CuLi

Explanation:

The reaction between acyl halides and Grignard reagents or acyl halides and organolithium compounds does not form ketones because the reagents ( Grignard reagent and organo lithium compounds) are too reactive hence the ketone intermediate reacts further to form tertiary alcohols hence the ketone cannot be isolated.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer is (D) - It is exothermic and will have a negative enthalpy.

If the reactants are at a higher potential energy compared to the products, it means reactants have more energy than the products. That energy is released to the environment as heat. Due to the releasing of heat to the surrounding, the reaction is exothermic. Since the reaction is exothermic; the enthalpy of the reaction will be negative value.

a calorimeter contained 75.0 g of water at 16.95 C. A 93.3-g sample of iron at 65.58 C was placed in it, giving a final temperat

Nostrana [21]

Answer:- $\frac{382.69J}{0C}$ .

Solution:- Mass of Iron added to water is 93.3 g. Initial temperature of iron metal is 65.58 degree C and final temperature of the system is 19.68 degree C.

temperature change, $\Delta T$ for iron metal = 65.58 - 19.68 = 45.9 degree C

specific heat for the metal is given as 0.444 J per g per degree C.

let's calculate the heat lost by iron metal using the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and delta T is change in temperature. let's plug in the values and calculate q for iron metal:

$q=93.3g(45.9^0C)(\frac{0.444J}{g.^0C})$
