Two methanol-water mixtures are contained in separate tanks. The first mixture contains 40.0 wt% methanol and the second contain

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$M_{per}= 52.86$

$W_{per}=47.14$

Explanation:

First mixture:

40 wt% methanol - 60 wt% water 200 kg

$m_{met1}=200 kg * 0.4= 80 kg$

$m_{wat1}=200 kg * 0.6= 120 kg$

Second mixture:

70 wt% methanol - 30 wt% water 150 kg

$m_{met2}=150 kg * 0.7= 105 kg$

$m_{wat2}=150 kg * 0.3= 45 kg$

Final mixture:

$m_{metF=80 kg + 105 kg= 185 kg$

$m_{watF}=120 kg + 45 = 165 kg$

$M_{per}=\frac{185 kg}{185 kg + 165 kg}*100= 52.86$

$W_{per}=\frac{165 kg}{185 kg + 165 kg}*100=47.14$

If, the compositions are constant, the only variables are the mass of each mixture used in the final one, so there can be only one independent balance.

What does Q=mcdeltaT stand for ?

AVprozaik [17]

Its a formula relating to specific heat capacity

Δθ refers to the change in temperature

Q refers to the energy neededto raise the temperature of an object by the change in temperature

m stands for the mass of tje object

c is the specific heat capacity which is the amount of energy needed to heat up an object per unit mass

An earthquake on the ocean floor produced a giant wave called a tsunami. The tsunami traveled through the ocean and hit a remote

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

What cause an earthquake is when the earth plates shift and if theirs a drop in the tentonic plates a ripple effect like when you drop something in water will occur. The plates shift down the water in which the plate shift down the water will go in that direction due to gravity, but instead of equalizing the water will pick up some speed and velocity and begin to form a wave now. When an tsunami happens you know it coming cause the water moves back cause the water is picking up to much speed and due to cohesion its moves along with the move water and builds up. Creating a massive tidal wave known as tsunamis.

Find the mass of 0.235 moles of SiO2? (NOTE: use correct significant figures!)

marta [7]

Answer: 14.1g

Explanation:

Given that,

number of moles of SiO2 = 0.235 moles

Mass in grams = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Molar mass of SiO2 = ?

To get the molar mass of SiO2, use the atomic mass

Silicon = 28g;

Oxygen = 16g

i.e Molar mass of SiO2 = 28g + (16g x 2)

= 28g + 32g

= 60g/mol

Now, apply the formula

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

0.235 moles = Z / 60g/mol

Z = 0.235 moles x 60g/mol

Z = 14.1 g

Thus, the mass of SiO2 is 14.1 grams.

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due to its effectiveness as a poison.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!
