Answer:

The unknown amount of potassium chloride is 13.6 grams.

Explanation:

The reaction of 14 grams of KNO₃ with KCl produces a total mass of 27.6 grams of the products.

The law of conservation of mass tells us that the total mass of the reactants must be the same that the total mass of the products. So, we can find the mass of KCl as follows:

$m_{r} = m_{p}$

Where <em>r</em> is for reactants and <em>p </em>is for products

$m_{KNO_{3}} + m_{KCl} = m_{p}$

$14 g + m_{KCl} = 27.6 g$

$m_{KCl} = 27.6 g - 14 g = 13.6 g$

Therefore, the unknown amount of potassium chloride is 13.6 grams.

I hope it helps you!

Which statement best describes the amount of catalyst that remains at the end of a reaction?

Ivenika [448]

I believe the correct answer is C. The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction. Catalysts can't be consumed by the reaction thus is not D.

Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

A) 10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion .

B) 7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C) It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Explanation:

A) Mass of arsenic in lake water sample = 164.5 ng

The ppb is the amount of solute (in micrograms) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppb}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^9$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of arsenic = 164.5 ng = $164.5\times 10^{-9} g$

$1 ng=10^{-9} g$

Volume of the sample = V = $15.3 cm^3$

Density of the lake water sample ,d= $1.00 g/cm^3$

Mass of sample = M = $d\times V=1.0 g/cm^3\times 15.3 cm^3=15.3 g$

$ppb=\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3 g}\times 10^9=10.75$

10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion.

Mass of arsenic in $1 cm^3$ of lake water = $\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3}=1.075\times 10^{-8} g$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710 km^3$ lake water be m.

$1 km^3=10^{15} cm^3$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710\times 10^{15} cm^3$ lake water :

$m=0.710\times 10^{15}\times 1.075\times 10^{-8} g=7,633,660.130 g$

1 g = 0.001 kg

7,633,660.130 g = 7,633,660.130 × 0.001 kg=7,633.660130 kg ≈ 7,633.66 kg

7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

$\frac{2.74}{41.90} days$

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

$=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days$

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = $\frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years$

It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

You were making a cream based sauce for your pasta and decided to add some freshly canned tomatoes to the sauce. It tasted fine,

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer & explanation:

Canned fruits and vegetables generally have a high acidity and salinity content, in order to prevent the product from spoiling, in addition to enhancing its flavor.

The cream-based sauce started to curdle due to the acidity present in the canned tomatoes.

By lowering the pH of dairy products, a protein in them called casein begins to clot. It is this clotting of the casein that causes the cream-based sauce to curdle.

4. Juan tiene un cilindro de 40 libras herméticamente cerrado con gas propano y lo conecta mediante una válvula a otro cilindro

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Ver explicacion

Explanation:

Cuando el cilindro de 40 libras está conectado al cilindro de 100 libras, generamos una presión que continúa hasta que los dos cilindros alcanzan la misma presión de gas en equilibrio. Recuerde que el cilindro de 100 libras estaba inicialmente vacío. Esto significa que su presión inicial es 0. El cilindro de 40 libras ya estaba lleno, por lo que dividimos esta cantidad en dos para tener en cuenta su distribución entre los dos cilindros.

Ahora tenemos 20 libras de gas propano presentes en cada cilindro. La implicación de esto es que, en el cilindro de 100 libras, necesitamos 80 libras adicionales para completar las 100 libras.
