Answer:

The increase in mass is not due to the heating but due to the reaction of the metal with oxygen in air to form an oxide

Explanation:

When a metal is heated in the presence of air, oxygen present in air reacts with the metal to form the oxide of the metal. The mass of this oxide is greater than the original metal by the amount of oxygen added to the metal during the reaction.

The above reaction is known as an oxidation reaction. Generally,

metal M + O2 ---> MO2

A neutron walks into a gas station to buy some snacks. He ask the cashier ,"How much"? The cashier replies,"For you? No charge."
alexandr1967 [171]
Neutrons are neutral, so they don’t have a positive or negative charge. Hence, the cashier says no charge for the neutron. It is quite funny when you think about it lol.

Consider the following balanced equation for the following reaction:
Sidana [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The actual yield of the carbon dioxide is 47.48 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given balanced equation:

15O_2(g)+2C_6H_5COOH(aq.)\rightarrow 14CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Theoretical moles of carbon dioxide = 1.30 moles

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.30mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide}=(1.30mol\times 44g/mol)=57.2g

To calculate the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 57.2 g

Percentage yield of carbon dioxide = 83.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

83=\frac{\text{Actual yield of carbon dioxide}}{57.2}\times 100\\\\\text{Actual yield of carbon dioxide}=\frac{57.2\times 83}{100}=47.48g

Hence, the actual yield of the carbon dioxide is 47.48 grams

Still need a good answer heterogeneous vs homogeneous, don't copy from web pls.
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

homogenous is a uniform and consistent mixture ; heterogenous is a mixture that is non-uniform

Explanation:

usually if you can separate the mixture/particles it is heterogenous.  For example, pizza is heterogenous because you can separate the dough from the tomato sauce from the cheese.  vinegar is homogenous (cannot separate mixture)

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
