Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1 and 2 - Physical change

3, 4, 5 and 6 - Chemical Change

Explanation:

A physical change is the conversion of one form into another. Like water is in natural state is liquid but at applying negative temperature like in a freezer, it will convert into ice which is just another form of water. At high temperature, water will convert into vapors and form steam. In all three states, water is just water in a different form. That's what a physical change is. It is a reversible process.

A chemical change is the conversion of one molecule into another form which cannot be reversed. Like burning of coal. You won't get coal after you have burnt it.

In the same experiment, there have been many physical and chemical changes.

1. Evaporation of Ethanol is a physical change as external heat is applied which separates ethanol from water in form of vapors.

2. Condensation of Ethanol is also a physical change where vapors of ethanol are being converted into liquid form.

3. Formation of carbon deposit inside the flask: This is a chemical change. As the experiment contained glucose, upon higher temperatures, glucose loses water molecules and forms carbon. Now, since we cannot convert carbon back to glucose in a simple step, therefore, it is a chemical change which cannot be reversed.

4. Formation of Carbon dioxide gas from Glucose: This is a chemical change. Carbon dioxide cannot be fixed into glucose without the help of a plant or certain chemical methods therefore it is a chemical change and cannot be reversed by normal means.

5. Burning of natural gas: It is a chemical process. Natural gas contains methane as the primary source of burning. It reacts with oxygen present in air and forms carbon dioxide and water and releases heat which is used to elevate the temperature of ethanol-water mixture to obtain purified ethanol.

6. Formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast:  It is also a chemical process, biochemical to be specific. Under the absence of air (Fermentation), yeast converts glucose to ethanol which is a chemical process because glucose has been used up and is not glucose anymore. It has been converted to ethanol.

A geological sample is found to have a Pb-206/U-238 mass ratio of 0.337/1.00. Assuming there was no Pb-206 present when the samp
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

2.1x10⁹ years

Explanation:

U-238 is a radioactive substance, which decays in radioactive particles. It means that this substance will lose mass, and will form another compound, the Pb-206.

The time need for a compound loses half of its mass is called half-life, and knowing the initial mass (mi) and the final mass (m) the number of half-lives passed (n) can be found by:

m = mi/2ⁿ

The mass of Pb-206 will be the mass that was lost by U-238, so it will be mi - m. Thus, the mass ration can be expressed as:

(mi-m)/m = 0.337/1

mi - m = 0.337m

mi = 1.337m

Substituing mi in the expression of half-life:

m = 1.337m/2ⁿ

2ⁿ = 1.337m/m

2ⁿ = 1.337

ln(2ⁿ) = ln(1.337)

n*ln(2) = ln(1.337)

n = ln(1.337)/ln2

n = 0.4190

The time passed (t), or the age of the sample, is the half-life time multiplied by n:

t = 4.5x10⁹ * 0.4190

t = 1.88x10⁹ ≅ 2.1x10⁹ years

How much heat is absorbed by a 112.5 g sample of water when it is heated from 12.5 °C to 9°C? (Specific heat capacity of water i
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

–1647.45 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) = 112.5 g

Initial temperature (T₁) = 12.5 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 9°C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.184 J/g°C

Heat (Q) absorbed =?

Next, we shall determine the change in temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 12.5 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 9°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 9 – 12.5

ΔT = –3.5 °C

Finally, we shall determine the heat absorbed. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (M) = 112.5 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = –3.5 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.184 J/g°C

Heat (Q) absorbed =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 112.5 × 4.184 × –3.5

Q = –1647.45 J
