By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 amu, you can calculate the mass of the atom.

If you lived in Flagstaff, Arizona, how much salt (NaCl) would you have to add to your spaghetti water to get it to boil at 100
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is both theoretical and practical. While the theoretical aspect will be detailed fully here, the practical aspect will be provided as a form of guidance.

Water generally boils at 100°C when altitude (in feet) is 0. One of the colligative properties that occurs <u>when salt is added to water is that there is a boiling point elevation</u>(meaning an increase in boiling point). For instance, if 20g of salt is added to about 5.3 quarts of water, the boiling point of water will increase from 100°C to 100.04°C.

However, when the altitude/elevation of a place is about 7000 ft (like in Flagstaff, Arizona), water will boil at 95.3°C. In order to get 2 quarts of water to boil at 100°C in Flagstaff;

20g causes an increase in boiling point by 0.04°C (100°C to 100.04°C) in 5.3 quarts of water

What gram will increase the boiling point by same 0.04°C in 2 quarts

20g ⇒ 5.3

X ⇒ 2

5.3 X ⇒ 40g

X = 40 ÷ 5.3

X = 7.55g

Hence, 7.55g will cause an increase in boiling point by 0.04°C (from 100°C to 100.04°C) in 2 quarts of water

What mass of salt will increase the boiling point by 4.7°C (95.3°C to 100°C)

7.55g ⇒ 0.04

X ⇒ 4.7

X × 0.04 ⇒ 7.55 × 4.7

0.04X ⇒ 35.5

X = 887.5g

Hence, in order for the spaghetti water to boil at 100°C, 887.5g of salt needs to be added.

For the practical part of the question, some Kitchen scales have an accuracy of .25kg (250g) and some have an accuracy of .2 kg (200g) and some have an accuracy of .5kg (500g). The one your kitchen has will determine the amount of salt that you can measure. For example, if your kitchen scale/balance has an accuracy of 250g/0.25kg, then you can only measure 750g of the 887.5g (as the rest is 137.5g, which is not up to 250g of the scale's accuracy) of the required salt measurement. However, if you have a digital balance that can measure up to 2kg/2000g in one decimal place, that's the perfect balance to measure this salt.

Determine the class of the compound, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and exhibits the infrared spectrum below. poss
Talja [164]
I have attached an image of the IR spectrum required to answer this question.

Looking at the IR, we can look for any clear major stretches that stand out. Immediately, looking at the spectrum, we see an intense stretch at around 1700 cm⁻¹. A stretch at this frequency is due to the C=O stretch of a carbonyl. Therefore, we know our answer must contain a carbonyl, so it could still be a ketone, aldehyde, carboxylic, ester, acid chloride or amide. However, if we look in the 3000 range of the spectrum, we see some unique pair of peaks at 2900 and 2700. These two peaks are characteristic of the sp² C-H stretch of the aldehyde.

Therefore, we can already conclude that this spectrum is due to an aldehyde based on the carbonyl stretch and the accompanying sp² C-H stretch.

How many moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate are present in 2.61 grams of this compound?
Sloan [31]

Molar mass of NaHCO_3

  • 23+1+12+3(16)
  • 36+48
  • 84g/mol

Now

\\ \sf\longrightarrow No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}

\\ \sf\longrightarrow No\:of\; moles=\dfrac{2.61}{84}

\\ \sf\longrightarrow No\:of\:moles=0.0312mol

What will be the observations for the reaction: CuSO4(aq) + NaOH(aq)? Its a two mark question so two observations at least.
julia-pushkina [17]
The chemical reaction would be:

<span>CuSO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) = Cu(OH)2(s) + Na2SO4(aq)

One observation would be the formation of a precipitate since one of the products is not readily soluble to aqueous solution. A formation of a blue precipitate will be observed.</span>
