Answer: The mass of blue copper sulfate is 3.5 g

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The chemical equation for the heating of copper sulfate crystals is:

Let the mass of blue copper sulfate be 'x' grams

We are given:

Mass of copper sulfate powder = 2.1 grams

Mass of water = 1.4 grams

Total mass on reactant side = x

Total mass on product side = (2.1 + 1.4) g

So, by applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

Hence, the mass of blue copper sulfate is 3.5 grams

Kruka [31]

Answer:

you should consider waterproofing. depending on the climate in your area, you need to apply multiple layers of waterproofing in the roof for it to support vegetation. you should also confused the types of plants. the types of plants is important for the success of your roof. if you live in a dry area, you don't want to choose plants that can live in dry areas without drying out.

At 400 K oxalic acid decomposes according to the reaction:H2C2O4(g)→CO2(g)+HCOOH(g)In three separate experiments, the intial pre
padilas [110]

Answer:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

Explanation:

For the reaction:

H₂C₂O₄(g) → CO₂(g) + HCOOH(g)

At t = 0, the initial pressure is just of H₂C₂O₄(g). At t= 20000 s, pressures will be:

H₂C₂O₄(g) = P₀ - x

CO₂(g) = x

HCOOH(g) = x

P at t=20000 is:

P₀ - x + x + x = P₀+x. That means P at t=20000s - P₀ = x

For 1st point:

x = 92,8-65,8 = 27

Pressure of H₂C₂O₄(g) at t=20000s: 65,8-27 = 38,8

2nd point:

x = 130-92,1 = 37,9

H₂C₂O₄(g): 92,1 - 37,9 = 54,2

3rd point:

x = 157-111 = 46

H₂C₂O₄(g): 111-46 = 65

Now, as the rate law is :

v = k P[H₂C₂O₄]

Based on integrated rate law, k is:

(- ln P[H₂C₂O₄] + ln P[H₂C₂O₄]₀) / t = k

1st point:

k = 2,64x10⁻⁵

2nd point:

k = 2,65x10⁻⁵

3rd point:

k = 2,68x10⁻⁵

The averrage of this values is:

k = 2,66x10⁻⁵

That means law is:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

I hope it helps!

What is the amount of heat energy absorbed when 36 grams of ice at -20oC is melted to water at 0oC?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Q = 1461.6 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 36 g

Initial temperature = -20°C

Final temperature = 0°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT =  0°C - (-20°C)

ΔT = 20°C

Q = 36 g ×2.03 j/g.°C×20°C

Q = 1461.6 J

If the following elements were to combine with each other, choose which demonstrate the Law of Multiple Proportion. Select all t
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Missing question: Z:X = 7:1 A:Z = 2.5:1 A:Z = 2.2:1 Y:X = 11:1.

Answer is:<span> Z:X = 7:1 and Y:X = 11:1.
Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers. 
In this example ratios are whole numbers, A:Z = 2.5 : 1 and A:Z = 2.2 : 1 are not whole number ratios.</span>
