Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

How many grams of oxygen are there in 45.7 grams of Ba(NO2),?
Flauer [41]
I’m assuming you mean barium nitrite, Ba(NO2)2.

First convert grams of Ba(NO2)2 to moles using the molar mass of Ba(NO2)2. Then use the mole ratio of 4 moles of oxygen per 1 mole of Ba(NO2)2 to convert to moles of oxygen. Then use the molar mass of oxygen to convert to grams of oxygen.

45.7 g Ba(NO2)2 • 1 mol Ba(NO2)2 / 229.35 g Ba(NO2)2 • 4 mol O / 1 mol Ba(NO2)2 • 16.0 g O / 1 mol O = 12.8 g oxygen

After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating

Explanation:

a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.

This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.

Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.

c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.

It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.

d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.

Here the error is small.

e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.

Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.

How does heat differ from temperature?
mote1985 [20]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Temperature is used as for measuring the average kinetic energy present in a substance or object.

The internal kinetic energy obtained by the molecules of an object is known as thermal energy.

Hence, temperature measures the thermal energy of an object.

Whereas when this thermal energy flows from a hotter object to a cooler object which are placed adjacent to each other then it is known that heat is flowing.

Thus, we can conclude that heat differ from temperature as temperature measures thermal energy, and heat is the flow of thermal energy.

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0172 M solution. If the pH of the resulting solution is 2.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

9.7 x 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

              HA     ⇄           H⁺     +        A⁻

C(eq)   0.0174             10⁻²·³⁹         10⁻²·³⁹

                              =0.0041M     =0.0041M

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻]/[HA] = (0.0014)²/(0.0174) = 9.7 x 10⁻⁴
