Answer:

Magnetic separation

Sawdust is a non-magnetic material whereas iron shavings are magnetic. When a magnet is brought near a mixture of iron shavings and sawdust, the iron shavings will be attracted to the magnet while the sawdust will not. Thus, the iron shavings will be separated from the sawdust.

Explanation:

Separation techniques makes use of the differences in the properties of components of mixtures to separate theses components, one from another.

In a moxturemof iron shavings and sawdust, a suitable separation technique would be the use of magnetic separation.

The use of this separation technique is abasednonnthe principle that when a magnetnis brought near to a mixture containing magnetic and non-magnetic materials, the magnetic materials will be separated from the non-magnetic materials due to their attraction to the magnet. Sawdust is a non-magnetic material whereas iron shavings are magnetic. When a magnet is brought near a mixture of iron shavings and sawdust, the iron shavings will be attracted to the magnet while the sawdust will not. Thus, the iron shavings will be separated from the sawdust.

Which of the following best defines molar mass?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

D. the mass of one mole of a substance

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.

  • For an element, the molar mass is the relative atoms mass expressed in grams.
  • For example 23g of Na, 40g of oxygen
  • For compounds, molar mass is the gram -formula or gram - molecular weight.
  • This is determined by the addition of its component atomic masses and then expressed in grams.

Given a 1.50 Liters of solution that contains 62.5 grams of magnesium oxide. What is the Molarity of that solution? Please show
qwelly [4]
Molarity= moles/ liters

first you need to calculate the moles using the molar mass of the molecule to convert grams to moles

molar mass MgO= 40.3 grams/ mole

62.5 gram MgO (1 mole/ 40.3 grams)= 1.55 mole

Molarity= 1.55 mole/ 1.50 Liters= 1.03 M

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. how much energy (in kj) is released b
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Let's begin with the basic values  that will be used in the solution.

The formula of propane is C3H8. It is an alkane, a hydrocarbon with the general formula of CnH2n+2. Notice that hydrocarbons have only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. Its molar mass (M) is 44 g.

Molar Mass Calculation is done as like that
C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol. 1 mole propane has 3 moles Carbon atoms and 8 mole Hydrogen atoms. M(
C3H8)= 3*12+ 8*1= 44 g

Combustion reaction of hydrocarbons gives carbon dioxide and water by releasing energy. That energy is called as enthalpy of combustion (
ΔHc°).  

ΔHc° of propane equals -2202.0 kj/mol. Burning of 1 mole C3H8 releases 2202 kj energy. Minus sign only indicates that the energy is given out ( an exothermic reaction ).

Let's write the combustion reaction.
C3H8 + O2 ---> CO2 + H20 (unbalanced) 
ΔHc° = -2202 kj/mol

Now, we calculate mole of 20 kg propane. Convert kilogram into gram since we use molar mass is defined in grams.
mole=mass/molar mass ; n=m/M ; n= 20000 g /44 (g/mol)=454 mole

1 mole propane releases 2202 kj energy.
454 mole propane release 2202 kj *454= 1000909 kj

The answer is 1000909 kj.
