Picture this in your mind as you read it: You weigh an empty, clean, dry beaker on the balance (scale). It weighs 32.15 grams. Y

ou are instructed to measure out 2.0 grams of solid X and put it in the beaker you just weighed. Using weighing paper, you weigh out 2.0 grams of solid X and carefully transfer it into the beaker. You now weigh the beaker WITH the solid in it and get a mass of 34.40 grams. What is the weight of the solid, using the correct number of significant figures? 2.0 grams, just as you weighed it before putting it in the beaker. 2.00 grams, using the correct number of significant figures. The mass is 34.40 g -32.15 g -2.3 grams The mass is 34.40 g -32.15 g -2.25 grams

Answer:

2.25 g

Explanation:

The mass of the solid X must be the total mass (beaker + solid X) less than the mass of the beaker. Then:

mass of the solid X = 34.40 - 32.15

mass of the solid X = 2.25 g

The difference of 0.25 g must occur for several problems: an incorrect weight in the balance, the configuration of the balance, the solid can be hydrophilic and absorbs water, and others.

In a closed system containing three different gases as shown, X2 + Y2 2XY. Choose the TWO things that MUST happen as the volume
Kitty [74]

Answer:

3) The relative concentrations of each gas must remain constant.

4)The concentration of each gas will not change.

Explanation:

  • For the equilibrium system:

<em>X₂ + Y₂ ⇄ 2XY,</em>

The no. of moles of gases in each side is constant; there is 2 moles of gases at reactants side and 2 moles of gases at products side.

So, changing the volume will not affect on the equilibrium system.

<em>So, the right choice is:</em>

3) The relative concentrations of each gas must remain constant.

4)The concentration of each gas will not change.

Aluminum metal reacts with aqueous cobalt(II) nitrate to form aqueous aluminum nitrate and cobalt metal. What is the stoichiomet
Lelu [443]

Answer:

the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3

Explanation:

the unbalanced reaction would be

Co(NO₃)₂+ Al → Al(NO₃)₃ + Co

One way to solve is to build a system of linear equations for each element (or group as NO₃) , knowing that the number of atoms of each element is conserved.

For smaller reactions a quick way to solve it can be:

- First the Co as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient

- Then the Al as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient

- After that we look at the nitrates . There are 2 as reactants and 3 as products . Since the common multiple is 6 then multiply the reactant by 3 and the product by 2.

Finally the balanced equation will be

3 Co(NO₃)₂+ 2 Al → 2 Al(NO₃)₃ + 3 Co

then the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding.  Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

CO_{3}^{2-}  > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}

This is due to the fact that the CO_{3}^{2-}will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, HCO_{3} ^{2-}. Carbonic acid, H_{2} CO_{3} will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.

In which situation is the object experiencing unbalanced forces?
olga2289 [7]

The moving car experiences unbalanced forces when applying brakes; when a car is slowing as it reaches a stop light.

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

When the car driver applies brakes to a car in order to stop, an unbalanced force is applied to the car. The speed of car gradually reduces and there’s a decrease in acceleration; a net force acts on it.

Options A and D has a box and a rocket always in a rest position. A car with cruise control is an adaptable speed setting for a vehicle which helps it to maintain a fairly constant speed. Constant velocity gives zero acceleration and hence no considerable unbalanced forces appear.
