Answer:

Nuclear scientists continue to expand the periodic table as they detect new elements. ... Scientists create heavy elements by bombarding two lighter elements that together add up to the mass of the desired new element. One of the elements is stationary and thus called the target.

Fred mixes a solution using two types of solutions: 0.60 liters containing 10% alcohol and 0.40 liters containing 35% alcohol. W

insens350 [35]

The alcohol concentration of the mixed solution is 20%

Simplification :

Based on the given condition, formulate :

35% ×0.40 + 0.6 ×10% ÷{ 0.4+0.6}

Calculate the product : $\frac{0.14+0.06}{0.4 + 0.6}$

Calculate the sum or difference : $\frac{0.2}{1}$

Any fraction with denominator 1 is equal to numerator : 0.2

Multiply a number to both numerator, denominator : 0.2 × $\frac{100}{100}$

Calculate the product or quotient : $\frac{20}{100}$

A fraction with denominator equals to 100 to a percentage 20%.

How do you find the concentration of a mixed solution?

In general when your are mixing two different concentrations together first calculate number of moles for each solution (n=CV ,V-in liter) then add them together it will be total moles,then concentration of mixture will be = total moles / total volume(liter).

2 A(g) + B(g) ---> 2 C(g)Rate = k [A][B]At the beginning of one trial of this reaction, [A] = 3.0 M and [B] = 1.0 M. The obse

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Lmol⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

The rate law of the given reaction is:-

Rate=k[A][B]

Wherem, k is the rate constant.

Given that:-

Rate = 0.36 mol/Lsec = 0.36 M/sec

[A] = 3.0 M

[B] = 1.0 M

Thus,

Applying in the equation as:-

0.36 M/sec =k × 3.0 M× 1.0 M

k = 0.12 (Ms)⁻¹ = 0.12 Lmol⁻¹s⁻¹

<u>The units of k = Lmol⁻¹s⁻¹</u>

A mass of 14 kg is accelerated at 2m/s2 for a distance of 5 meters. How much energy is required?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Force = mass * acceleration

= 14 * 2 = 28N

Work done (energy) = Force * distance

= 28 * 5 = 140J

A mixture of hydrocarbons contains 38.3% hexane, C6H14, 13.9% octane, C8H18, and 47.8% decane, C10H22. The mixture is combusted

GaryK [48]

Answer:

52.206 kg

Explanation:

From the given information:

Mass of hexane C6H14 = $19.3*10^3 \ g \times \dfrac{38.3}{100}$

= 7391.9 g

Mass of octane C8H18 = $19.3*10^3 \ g \times \dfrac{13.9}{100}$

= 2682.7 g

Mass of decane C10H22 = $19.3*10^3 \ g \times \dfrac{47.8}{100}$

= 9225.4 g

However, recall that:

number of moles of an atom = mass/molar mass

∴

For hexane, no of moles = 7391.9 g/86.18 g/mol

= 85.77 moles

For octane, no of moles = 2682.7 g/114.23 g/mol

= 23.49 moles

For decane, no of moles = 9225.4 g/142.29 g/mol

= 64.84 moles

Therefore:

number of moles of CO2 produced = (6 × 85.77)+(23.49)+(10×64.84) moles

= 1186.51 moles

Finally, the mass of CO2 produced is:

= 1186.51 mol × 44 g/mol

= 52206.44 g

= 52.206 kg
