Which has the greatest mass, box of rocks box of paperclips or empty box

1 answer:

7 0

The density of an ordinay rock is close to 3 g/cm^3 wihle the density of the paper clips is close to 8 g/cm^3 (the density of steel), then equal apparent volumes (same box) will contain different mass, being of course the mass of the box with paper clips much higher than that of the box with rocks.

Calculate the food energy (joules/

Anna007 [38]

Calculate the food energy (joules/g) of one of your food samples. one chemistry calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. convert the energy you calculated to kilojoules (1 kj = 1000 j). since nothing is given, an example is avocadoes have 160 cal/100 g serving

(160 cal/ 100 g)(4.186 J/ 1 cal) (1 kJ/1000 J) = 0.0067 kJ/g

When biological samples of unknown origins are discovered at a crime scene, what should investigators do?a. assume no pathogens

adoni [48]

Answer: assume pathogens are present and treat the samples accordingly

Explanation:

When investigators are unable to conclusively ascertain the source of a biological sample found at a crime scene, the correct thing to do is to treat it as if pathogens are present in it and handle it according to set rules on how to handle pathogens.

This is done to ensure that if a pathogen is indeed present, it would not cause a health emergency by infecting those who come in contact with the samples at the scene.

What volume would 3.01•1023 molecules of oxygen gas occupy at STP?

Sliva [168]

First, find moles of oxygen gas: (3.01 x10^23 molec.)/(6.02 x10^23) =0.5mol O2

Second, multiply moles by the standard molar volume of a gas at STP:(0.5mol)(22.4L) = 11.2L O2

Be sure to answer all parts. Part 1 out of 2 how many electrophilic centers are present in acetyl chloride (ch3cocl)?

natima [27]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.

In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.
