Mrs. Johnson's science class perform an experiment. They combine two substances that react with lots of fizzing and bubbling. Th

e class determines the mass of the substances before and after the experiment and find that the substances have less mass after the experiment. Hannah wants to know why the experiment didn't obey the law of conservation of mass, but Chris says it did. Who is right and why?
Hannah is right because the class may have made an error in determining the mass of the substances.


Chris is correct because the reactants and products do not have to have the same mass, but they do have to weigh the same.


Hannah is right because the mass of the reactants was different than the mass of the products.


Chris is right because some of the mass of the reactants escaped as gas.

Answer is: Chris is right because some of the mass of the reactants escaped as gas.

Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

Gas that escaped is probably carbon(IV) oxide, so the mass of product measured is less than reactants. If mass of gas is also measured, masses of reactants and products are the same.

Given the following formula 2 KCIO3 -> 2 KCI + 3 O2 how many moles of O2 can be produced by letting 12 moles of KCIO3 react?
poizon [28]
1st you need to find the mole ratio between KClO3 and O2.  To find that you need to take the coefficents of each of the compounds.  That gives a ratio of 2:3.

Now we find out how many each unit is:
2x = 12
x = 6

Now we multiply it by 3 to find the number of moles of O2
3(6) = 18 mol O2.

What is the pressure in a 27.0-L cylinder filled with 44.9 g of oxygen gas at a temperature of 315 KK
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

1.343 atm

Explanation:

We are given the following;

Pressure, p = ?

Volume v = 27 L

Mass of oxygen = 44.9 g

Temperature, T = 315 K

The formular relating all these variables is the equation;

PV = nRT

where R = gas constant = 0.08206 L atm / mole K

To obtain n, we use;

number of moles, n = Mass /  molar mass =  44.9 / 32 = 1.403 moles

From the ideal gas equation;

P = nRT / V

P = 1.403 * 0.08206 * 315 / 27

P = 36.27 / 27 = 1.343 atm

2 grams of a substance was dissolved in 75.0 g of water resulting in a temperature decrease from 23.1 ⁰C to 18.7 ⁰C. The specifi
RUDIKE [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1379.4 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The quantity of heat is calculated multiplying the mass of a substance by heat capacity and the change in temperature.

Therefore;

Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat capacity × Change in temperature

Q = mcΔT

In this case;

The substance dissolved in water gained heat while water lost heat energy.

Thus, Heat gained by the substance = heat lost by water

Heat associated with the water  

Mass of water = 75 g

Change in temperature = 4.4°C

Specific heat capacity =  4.18 J/g·⁰C

Heat = mcΔT

        = 75 g × 4.18 J/g·⁰C × 4.4 °C

        =1379.4 Joules
