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.

Benzene is a starting material in the synthesis of nylon fibers and polystyrene (styrofoam). Its specific heat capacity is 1.74
katovenus [111]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The amount of energy released or absorbed is equal the product of the mass, the specific heat capacity and the temperature change. The temperature change being the difference between the final and initial temperature.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass of a substance (kg) c = specific heat (units J/g∙K)

∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in" ∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

From the data provided in the question, we can deduce that:

Q = 16.7KJ = 16,700J

m = 225g

c = 1.74J/g.k

For the temperature, let the final temperature be f. This means our ∆T = f - 20

16,700 = 225 * 1.74 * (f - 20)

16700 = 391.5 (f - 20)

f - 20 = 16700/391.5

f - 20 = 42.7

f = 20 + 42.7 = 62.7

Hence the final temperature is 62.7 degrees Celsius

A particular brand of gasoline has a density of 0.737 g/ml at 25 ∘c. how many grams of this gasoline would fill a 13.0 gal tank
Usimov [2.4K]

Density of gasoline is 0.737 g/mL and volume of tank is 13.0 gal.

Since, 1 US gal=3.78 L

Volume of tank in L will be:

V=13.0 gal(\frac{3.78 L}{1 gal})=49.14 L

Also, 1 L=1000 mL

Thus,

V=49.14 L(\frac{1000 mL}{1 L})=49140 mL

Mass of gasoline can be calculated as follows:

m=d×V

Here, d is density and V is volume thus,

m=0.737 g/mL\times 49140 mL=3.62\times 10^{4}g

Therefore, mass of gasoline will be 3.62\times 10^{4}g.
