A compound is analyzed and found to contain 22.10%Al, 25.40%P, and 52.50%O

Let the total mass of compound = 100g

The mass of Aluminum = 22.10 g

Moles of Al = mass / atomic mass = 22.10 /23= 0.96

The mass of P = 25.40 g

Moles of P = 25.40 / 31 = 0.819

The mass of oxygen  = 52.50 g

Moles of oxygen = 52.50 / 16= 3.28

The mole ratio of the two elements will be

Al = 0.96/0.819 = 1.17

P = 0.819/0.819 = 1

O = 3.28 / 0.819 = 4

The whole number ratio will be 1 : 1 : 4

So formula will be AlPO4

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density =0.789g/mol) initially at 6.0°C mix with 45.0 mL of water (density =1.0 g/mol) initially at 28.0°
Likurg_2 [28]

The final temperature of the mixture : 21.1° C  

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released  

Q in(gained) = Q out(lost)  

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Q ethanol=Q water

mass ethanol=

\tt mass=\rho\times V\\\\mass=0.789\times 45=35.505~g

mass water =

\tt mass=1~g/ml\times 45~ml=45~g

then the heat transfer :

\tt 35.505\times 2.42~J/g^oC\times (t-6)=45\times 4.18~J/g^oC\times (28-t)\\\\85.922t-515.533=5266.8-188.1t\\\\274.022t=5782.33\rightarrow t=21.1^oC

Boyle's law only works when a gas is kept at a constant temperature. Experimentally this is very tricky as changes in pressure o
Lady bird [3.3K]

The heat that creates this temperature change coming from change in the internal energy of the system as per as first law of thermodynamics.

<h3>What is Boyle's law ?</h3>

A law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.

As we know, Boyle's law only works when the gas is kept at a constant temperature

Here,

When volume of gases decreased, it means work done has occurred on the system, so the work done is used for raising internal energy of the gas and the other is released as the thermal energy.

So,

According to 1st law of thermodynamics,

we know  Q =  ΔU + W  i.e, change in internal energy and work done. So this is a reason. Changing temperature occurs.

What is equal to the number of particles in 36 grams of carbon-12?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will  use the Avogadro numbers.

The number 6.022×10²³ is called Avogadro number and it is the number of atoms, ions or molecules in one mole of substance.  According to this,

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole =  6.022×10²³  atoms.

18 g water = 1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

we are given 36 g of C-12. So,

12 g of C-12 = 1 mole

24 g of C-12 =  2 mole

36 g of C-12 = 3 mole

So 3 moles of C-12 equals to the number of particles in 36 g of C-12.

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area
Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = 5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2      (Conversion factor:  1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2  )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = 182.88\times 10^3cm     (Conversion factor:  1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}

We are given:

Density of ice = 0.917g/cm^3

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = 142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g

Hence, the mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g
