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

A small cube of iron and a large flat sheet of iron contain the same volume. Which one will completely rust first? Explain why.
Hunter-Best [27]

The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction.

How many moles of oxygen are required to react with methanol in order to produce 13 moles of formaldehyde?
ddd [48]

Answer:

6.5 moles of Oxygen are required

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

CH3OH + 1/2 O2 → CH2O + H2O

1 mole of methanol reacts with 1/2 moles O2 to produce 1 mole of formaldehyde and 1 mole of water.

Thus, to produe 13 moles of formaldehyde, CH2O, are needed:

13 moles CH2O * (1/2mol O2 / 1mol CH2O) =

<h3>6.5 moles of Oxygen are required</h3>

Cis-4-tertButylcyclohexyl bromide (compound 1) and Trans-4 tert Butylcyclohexylbromide (compound 2) are reacted with Potassium T
Mkey [24]

Answer:

In compound 1 the Tert butyl group occupies the equatorial position and the Bromine occupies the axial position and in compound 2 the Tert butyl occupies the axial and the bromine occupies equatorial positions. Compound 1 reacts faster than compound 2.

Explanation:

In cyclic organic compounds, substituents may occupy the axial or equatorial positions. The axial positions are aligned parallel to the symmetry axis of the ring while the equatorial positions are around the plane of the ring.

Bulky substituents have more room in the equatorial than in the axial position. This means that compound 1 is more stable than compound 2.

This is clear on the basis of stability of the molecules because compound 1 will react faster than compound 2 since the bulky tertiary butyl group in compound 1 occupy equatorial and not axial positions.

How many moles of pentane are in 1.48x1021
vodka [1.7K]

multiply the number of each atom with its molecular mass. (see the periodic table)

5*12 + 12*1 = 72 gram per mole.

Or more accurately: 5*12.01078 + 12*1.007947 = 72.149264 g/mole
