Answer: The correct answer is Option 1.

Explanation:

Control group is the group used in the experiment by the researchers in which no change in the variable is done. It is then set as a benchmark for the groups which are being tested.

We are given 4 groups which are being experimented for the flotation of an egg in water. As in Cup 1, there is no addition of salt and hence there is no change in the variables. So, this is set as a benchmark fro the cups which are further used in the experiment conducted.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Rainbow [258]
A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.

Consider the following reaction.
Ivan

Answer:

162 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol

18.3 g C           1 mole            2 moles Fe₂O₃          159.684 g
--------------  x  ----------------  x  -------------------------  x  -----------------  = 162 g Fe₂O₃
                        12.011 g              3 moles C                 1 mole

If 88.0 L of natural gas, which is essentially methane (CH4), undergoes complete combustion at 720. mm Hg and 22ºC, how many gra
mr_godi [17]

126 grams of H2O is formed.

Explanation:

Data given:

volume of the gas = 88 Liters

pressure = 720 mm Hg or 0.947 atm

temperature T = 22 Degrees or 295.15 K

R = 0.08021 atm L/mole K

n =?

The formula is used is of ideal gas law to know the number of moles of CH4 undergoing combustion.

PV = nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

putting the values in the equation

   = 0.947 X 88/ 0.08021 X 295.15

n = 3.5 moles

balanced reaction for combustion of methane

CH4 + O2  ⇒ CO2 + 2H20

1 mole of CH4 undergoes combustion to form 2 moles of water

3.5 moles will give x moles of water

2/1 = x/3.5

x =  7 moles of water  (atomic mass of water = 18 gram/mole)

mass = atomic mass x number of moles

mass = 18 x 7

          =126 grams of water is formed.
