A student observed a chemical reaction in which the mass of the products was measured to be less than the mass of the reactants.

How can this be explained?

There chemical reactions that can realise or absorb gas to the atmosphere. This means it is harder or impossible to measure it with normal weighing devices and normal taring equipment. As a principal in chemical reactions we have conservation of mass.

Witch two chemists organized the elements based on properties suck as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liqui
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Antoine Lavoisier and Johann Wolfang Döbereiner organized the elements based on properties such as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liquid.

Explanation:

The periodic table of the elements as we have it today was developed as a result of the work of several notable centuries who lived centuries apart, all of who made notable contributions to development of the modern periodic table in use today.

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier, a French Chemist provided a definition of elemets which he defined as a substance whose smallest units cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. He further grouped the elements into two as metals and nonmetals.

In 1829, German physicist Johann Wolfang Döbereiner arranged elements in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads. His arrangement owasf elements into triads was based on his observation of similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements.

John Newlands, a British Chemist was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses.

In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table which provided a framework the modern periodic table. He arranged the elements according to their atomic weight, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered.

The modern periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic number.

For each of the esters provided, identify the alcohol and the carboxylic acid that reacted.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

52. The alcohol USED => methanol, CH3OH

The carboxylic acid USED => propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH.

53. The alcohol USED => Ethanol, CH2CH3OH

The carboxylic acid USED => Formic acid, HCOOH.

Explanation:

52. To obtain Methyl propanoate, CH3CH2COOCH3, we simply react propanoic, CH3CH2COOH and methanol, CH3OH together as shown below:

CH3CH2COOH + CH3OH —> CH3CH2COOCH3 + H2O

The alcohol used: methanol, CH3OH

The carboxylic acid used: propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH.

53. To obtain Ethyl methanoate, HCOOCH2CH3, we simply react

Formic acid, HCOOH and ethanol, CH3CH2OH together as show below:

HCOOH + CH3CH2OH —> HCOOCH2CH3 + H2O

The alcohol USED => Ethanol, CH2CH3OH

The carboxylic acid USED => Formic acid, HCOOH.

Determine the specific heat ofmaterial if a 12g sample absorbed 48j as it was heated from 20-40
devlian [24]

Answer:

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of material = ?

Mass of sample = 12 g

Heat absorbed = 48 J

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 40°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  40°C -20°C

ΔT =  20°C

48 J = 12 g×c×20°C

48 J =240 g.°C×c

c = 48 J/240 g.°C

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Answer : The molar concentration of sucrose in the tea is, 0.0549 M

Explanation : Given,

Mass of sucrose = 3.765 g

Volume of solution = 0.200 L

Molar mass of sucrose  = 342.3 g/mole

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of sucrose}}{\text{Molar mass of sucrose}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{3.765g}{342.3g/mole\times 0.200L}=0.0549mole/L=0.0549M

Therefore, the molar concentration of sucrose in the tea is, 0.0549 M

For a process Arightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoonB, at 25 °C there is 10% of A at equilibrium while at 75 °C, there is 80
Lostsunrise [7]

This question is describing the following chemical reaction at equilibrium:

A\rightleftharpoons B

And provides the relative amounts of both A and B at 25 °C and 75 °C, this means the equilibrium expressions and equilibrium constants can be written as:

K_1=\frac{90\%}{10\%}=9\\\\K_2=\frac{20\%}{80\%}  =0.25

Thus, by recalling the Van't Hoff's equation, we can write:

ln(K_2/K_1)=-\frac{\Delta H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_2} -\frac{1}{T_1} )

Hence, we solve for the enthalpy change as follows:

\Delta H=\frac{-R*ln(K_2/K_1)}{(\frac{1}{T_2} -\frac{1}{T_1} ) }

Finally, we plug in the numbers to obtain:

\Delta H=\frac{-8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} *ln(0.25/9)}{[\frac{1}{(75+273.15)K} -\frac{1}{(25+273.15)K} ] } \\\\\\\Delta H=4,785.1\frac{J}{mol}
