Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

Aspartame is a sweetner that is 160 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) when dissolved in water. The molecular formula of a
NikAS [45]

Answer:

  • <u><em>294.307 g/mol</em></u>

Explanation:

The first question for this statment is:

  • <em>Calculate the gram-formula-mass of aspartame. </em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

The chemical formula is:

        C_{14}H_{18}N_2O_5 .

The <em>gram-formula-mass </em>is calculated adding the masses for all the atoms in the molecular formula:

Atom       Number of atoms      Atomic mass       Total mass

                                                            g/mol            g/mol

C                     14                              12.011              14 × 12.011 = 164.154

H                     18                              1.008              18 × 1.008 = 18.144

N                      2                              14.007             2 × 14.007 = 28.014

O                      5                              15.999             5 × 15.999 = 79.995

                                                                                ===================

                                                            Total            294.307 g/mol

Answer: 294.307 g/mol

Look at the chemical equation shown below. A, B, X, and Y represent different elements or polyatomic ions.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is an acid base reaction

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction  is a reaction in which one metal replaces the cation of a compound. The reaction of this problem is not of this type because here the reactants are compounds no single elements.

A decomposition reaction  is a reaction in which one compound decomposes into two or more products. This is not the answer to this question because in this reaction there are two reactants not only one.

A synthesis reaction  is a reaction in which two reactants form only one product. The reaction of this problem is not of this type because there are two products not only one.

An acid-base reaction is a kind of double replacement reaction. In some acid-base reactions, there is an interchange of cations and anions like is shown in this reaction.

The question is below
nevsk [136]
The reducing agent is donating electrons and therefore becoming oxidised itself. In this scenario elemental zinc (Zn) is in a reduced state and is oxidised to become Zn2+, in doing so it donates electrons to Fe2+, thereby reducing it to elemental iron (Fe).

The elemental Zinc in solid state is therefore the reducing agent as it reduces Fe2+ to Fe(s).

A 25-mL solution of H2SO4 is completely neutralized by 18 mL of 1.0M NaOH. What is the concentration of the H2SO4?
Charra [1.4K]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's provided, the answer can be easily deduced.
V1 = 25 ml
     = 25/1000 liter
     = 0.025 liter
V2 = 18 ml
      = 18/1000 liter
      = 0.018 liter
M2 = 1.0 M
M1 = ?
Then
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = M2V2/V1
      = (1 * 0.018)/0.025
      = 0.72 M
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
