Vinegar incorporates acetic acid which gets rid of this coating. When the defensive coating is removed, oxygen in the environment can reach the iron in the metal wool and a chemical reaction called oxidation occurs. This reaction is additionally an exothermic reaction. It creates warmth energy.

Hope it helped! Have a nice day! <3

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The presence of chloride ions in water can be established by adding dilute trioxonitrate V acid to a sample of the water in drops followed by aqueous silver trioxonitrate V.

If a white precipitate is formed, which is soluble in excess aqueous ammonia solution, then the presence of chloride ion in the water sample is ultimately confirmed.

A chemist heats the block of copper as shown in the interactive, then places the metal sample in a cup of oil at 25.00 °C instea

Mazyrski [523]

When the oil is added to the heated copper, the energy in the system is

conserved.

The mass of the oil in the cup, is approximately 64.73 grams.

Reasons:

The question parameters are;

Temperature of the oil in the cup = 25.00°C

Final temperature of the oil and copper, T₂ = 27.33 °C

Specific heat of copper, c₂ = 0.387 J/(g·°C)

Specific heat capacity of oil, c₁ = 1.74 J/(g·°C)

Required:

The mass of oil in the cup.

Solution:

The mass of the copper, m₂ = 17.920 g

Temperature of copper after heating, T₂ = 65.17°C

Temperature of the copper after being placed in the cup of oil, T₂ = 27.33°C

Heat lost by copper = Heat gained by the oil

m₂·c₂·(T₂ - T₃) = m₁·c₁·(T₃ - T₁)

Therefore, we get;

17.920 × 0.387 × (65.17 - 27.33) = m₁ × 1.74 × (27.33 - 25)

262.4219136 = 4.0542·m₁

m₁ ≈ 64.73

The mass of the oil in the cup, m₁ ≈ 64.73 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Step 1: Define

30 g SiO₂ (sand)

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Si - 28.09 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SiO₂ - 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Set up: $\displaystyle 30 \ g \ SiO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.09 \ g \ SiO_2})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 0.499251 \ mol \ SiO_2$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig figs and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

0.499251 mol SiO₂ ≈ 0.50 mol SiO₂
