The 10% energy rule means that when energy is passed into the ecosystem from one trophic level into the next, only ten percent energy will be passed on.

How many grams of NaOH are contained in 500 mL of a 0.80 M sodium hydroxide solution?

4vir4ik [10]

This is molarity: moles of solute/liters of solution. (Not molality)

1. Plug in what we know:

500 mL = 0.5 L

0.80 = moles/0.5

0.80*0.5 = moles

moles = 0.4

2. NaOH is given as 40 g/mole, so calculate the grams:

0.4 * 40 = 16 grams

answer: 16 grams

Calculate the enthalpy change (in joules) involved in converting 5.00 grams of water at 14.0 °c to steam at 115 °c under a const

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Enthalpy change is the term given to the concentration of the heat absorbed or evolved in a reaction carried out at a constant pressure. It is given by the symbol ΔH.

Enthalpy change = m (Cwater × dT + Hvap + Csteam × dT

dHvap = 40.67 kJ/mol = 40.67 × 103/18 = 2259.4 J/g

Enthalpy change = 5.00 [4.18 × (100-14) + 2259.4 + 1.84 × (115-100)]

= 13232.4 J

Combustion analysis of 0.300 g of an unknown compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 0.5213 g of co2 and 0.283

Lyrx [107]

First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2

A voltaic cell has a zinc anode and a copper cathode. They are connected by a wire but no salt bridge. What can you predict will

Allisa [31]

The prediction is that B. The electrons will flow to the zinc anode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction.

This is known as a chemical element, of the periodic table, that is essential to life and is one of the most widely used metals. Zinc is of considerable commercial importance.

Without the salt bridge, positive and negative charges will build up around the electrodes causing the reaction to stop.

Hence, we know that the purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the solutions electrically neutral and allow the free flow of ions from one cell to another.
