Answer: check for a change in total mass during a reaction.

According to the law of conservation of mass during a chemical change the total mass of the products remains equal to the total mass of the reactants: there is not change in the total mass.

During nuclear reactions the mass can change due to the huge release of energy which proceeds from mass change, as per the famous equation ΔE =Δm. c^2.

Glycerol (molar mass 92.09 g/mol) has been suggested for use as an alternative fuel. The enthalpy of combustion, Δ

victus00 [196]

The mass of glycerol to that would need to be combusted to heat 500.0g of water from 20.0°C to 100.0°C is; 9.32 grams.

We must establish the fact that energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by water is equal to the amount of heat released by the combustion of glycerol.

Total heat absorbed by water, H(water) is;

Q(water) = m C (T2 - T1)

Q(water) = 500 × 4.184 × (100-20)

Q(water) = 167.36 kJ

Consequently, the quantity of heat evolved by the combustion of glycerol is;

Q(glycerol) = 167,360 J = n × ΔH°comb

where, n = no. of moles of glycerol.

167.36 kJ= n × 1654 kJ/mole

n = 167.36/1654

n = 0.1012 moles of glycerol.

Therefore, mass of glycerol combusted, m is;

m = n × Molar mass

m = 0.1012 × 92.09

m = 9.32 g.

15 POINTS PLEASE HELP What volume of water must be added to 35mL of 2.6m KCl to reduce its concentration to 1.2m? Please explain

BartSMP [9]

First, find the volume the solution needs to be diluted to in order to have the desired molarity:
You have to use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂ when ever dealing with dilutions.

M₁=the starting concentration of the solution (in this case 2.6M)
V₁=the starting volume of the solution (in this case 0.035L)
M₂=the concentration we want to dilute to (in this case 1.2M)
V₂=the volume of solution needed for the dilution (not given)

Explaining the reasoning behind the above equation:
MV=moles of solute (in this case KCl) because molarity is the moles of solute per Liter of solution so by multiplying the molarity by the volume you are left with the moles of solute. The moles of solute is a constant since by adding solvent (in this case water) the amount of solute does not change. That means that M₁V₁=moles of solute=M₂V₂ and that relationship will always be true in any dilution.

Solving for the above equation:
V₂=M₁V₁/M₂
V₂=(2.6M×0.035L)/1.2M
V₂=0.0758 L
That means that the solution needs to be diluted to 75.8mL to have a final concentration of 1.2M.

Second, Finding the amount of water needed to be added:
Since we know that the volume of the solution was originally 35mL and needed to be diluted to 75.8mL to reach the desired molarity, to find the amount of solvent needed to be added all you do is V₂-V₁ since the difference in the starting volume and final volume is equal to the volume of solvent added.
75.8mL-35mL=40.8mL
40.8mL of water needs to be added

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Good luck on your quiz!

Answer:

internal fertilization

Explanation:

Internal fertilization enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male. Fewer offspring are produced through this method, but their survival rate is higher than that for external fertilization.

Suppose Highlinium-308 can also undergo positron emission

____ [38]

Answer:

The atomic number of burienium will be 307.

Explanation:

During positron emission proton is converted into the neutron and one electron neutrino with positron is released. It means the atomic number will be reduce by one and atomic mass remain same.

For example:

²³Mg₁₂ → ₁₁Na²³+ e⁺+ Ve

Similarly, when highlinium-308 undergoes positron emission the new element burienium is produced and the atomic number will be 307 while atomic mass remain same.

Properties of beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation
