From 1962 until 1981 pennies were made from 95% copper and 5% zinc and had a mass of 3.1 g. Starting in 1982, pennies have been

made from 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper and have a mass of 2.5 g. Suppose you have a sample of pennies that consists of 45.4% pre-1982 pennies. Determine the average mass of a penny in this sample.

Answer:

2.7724 g

Explanation:

Mass of pre- 1892 pennies = 3.1 g

Abundance = 45.4 %

Mass of post 1892 pennies = 2.5 g

Abundance = 100 - 45.4 = 54.6 %

The average mass is given as = ( 3.1 g   *  45.4 / 100)  +  (2.5g  *  54.6 / 100)

Average Mass = 3.1 * 0.454   +   2.5  *  0.546

Average Mass = 1.4074  + 1.365 = 2.7724 g

In the compound cah2 calcium has an oxidation number of 2+ and hydrogen has an oxidation number of
sesenic [268]

The oxidation number of H is -1.

Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element = charge of the complex

CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".

Then,

<span>    (+2) + 2 x a = 0 </span>

<span>        +2  + 2a  = 0</span>

                  2a = -2

                    a = -1

Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1

Butane, C4H10, reacts with oxygen, O2, to form water, H2O, and carbon dioxide, CO2, as shown in the following chemical equation:
Wittaler [7]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)->10H2O(g)+8CO2(g) 
</span>
<span>Calculate the mass of water produced when 1.77 grams of butane reacts with excessive oxygen?
</span>1.77 g C4H10 (1 mol C4H10/58.14 g C4H10) (10 mol H2O / 2 mol C4H10) ( 1.01 g H2O / 1 mol H2O ) = <span>0.15 g H2O

</span><span>Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 71.6 of carbon dioxide.
</span>71.6 g CO2 (1 mol CO2/ 44.01 g CO2) ( 2 mol C4H10 / 8 mol CO2 ) (58.14 g C4H10 / 1 mol C4H10 ) = 23.65 g C4H10

How do you analyze chemical evidence?
Sever21 [200]
BIOLOGICAL & CHEMICAL EVIDENCE ANALYSIS
There are many different types of evidence that can be found at a crime scene. Physical evidence can be collected at the crime scene such as a murder weapon. Chemical evidence is any residue from liquids that such as poison and drugs. Biological evidence is when hair or skin from a persons body has been transferred to a physical surface and then be collected and tested.

This evidence can be used to find out what exactly happened at the scene of the crime, the history behind the crime and who was involved and could have committed it.

Our experts test and analyse many forms of evidence, which is vital when finding out the various incidences that happened at a crime scene.
