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.

It takes 495.0 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electron from an atom on the surface of sodium metal. How much energy does it ta
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

\lambda=241.9\ nm

Explanation:

The work function of the sodium= 495.0 kJ/mol

It means that  

1 mole of electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

Also,  

1 mole = 6.023\times 10^{23}\ electrons

So,  

6.023\times 10^{23} electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

1 electron can be removed by applying of \frac {495.0}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\ kJ of energy.

Energy required = 82.18\times 10^{-23}\ kJ

Also,  

1 kJ = 1000 J

So,  

Energy required = 82.18\times 10^{-20}\ J

Also, E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So,  

79.78\times 10^{-20}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{82.18\times 10^{-20}}

\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-20}\times \:82.18}

\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^6\times \:82.18}

\lambda=2.4188\times 10^{-7}\ m

Also,  

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,  

\lambda=241.9\ nm

Will an empty balloon have precisely the same apparent weight on a scale as a balloon filled with air? Explain.
hram777 [196]
The notion <span>an empty balloon have precisely the same apparent weight on a scale as a balloon filled with air depends on the diameter of the balloon. The weight of the balloon  filled with air is equal to the mass of the balloon and the mass of the air inside. The mass of air inside is equal to the density of air multiplied by the volume of the balloon. If the balloon is large, then the two masses are equal whereas if not, the mass of air inside the inflation is neglible</span>
