Since water is already at 100<span>°C all the energy is used to evaporate it.
Now we can calculate how many </span>mols of water are evaporated with 820kJ.
We calculated that we got 20 mols of water evaporated. Now, all we have to do is find how many grams is a mol of water. Molar mass of water is <span>20.16 g/mol.
</span>The final answer is:
Answer:
=> 2.8554 g/mL
Explanation:
To determine the formula to use in solving such a problem, you have to consider what you have been given.
We have;
mass (m) = 16.59 g
Volume (v) = 5.81 mL
From our question, we are to determine the density (rho) of the rock.
The formula:
Substitute the values into the formula:
= 2.8554 g/mL
Therefore, the density (rho) of the rock is 2.8554 g/mL.
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.
The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.
According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.
