What is the mole fraction of water in pure water

irinina [24]

In pure water, all of the molecules in the liquid are water molecules so the mole fraction is 1 (100 % H2O, 55 mol/L). In sea water, the concentration of water molecules in the solution is less than that of pure water so the vapor pressure of sea water is also lower.

suter [353]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2KCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbCl₂ + 2KNO₃.

According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of balanced chemical reaction.

KCl is potassium chloride.

Pb(NO₃)₂ is lead(II) nitrate.

KNO₃ is potassium nitrate.

PbCl₂ is lead(II) chloride.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO

Lena [83]

Answer: a) $Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$ : Decomposition

b) $NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$ : double displacement

c) $CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ : Synthesis (Combination)

d) $ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$ : redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

$Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

$NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

$ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$

Which of the following (with specific heat capacity provided) would show the smallest temperature change upon gaining 200.0 J of

Brut [27]

Answer: The smallest temperature change is shown by water.

Explanation:

To calculate the heat absorbed or released, we use the equation:

$q=mC\times \Delta T$ ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed = 200.0 J

m = mass of the substance

C = specific heat of substance

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

As, the same amount of heat is getting absorbed in all the cases. So, the change in temperature will depend on the product of mass and specific heat.

For the given options:

Option a: 50.0 g Fe, $C_{Fe}=0.449J/g^oC$

We are given:

$m=50.0g\\C_{Fe}=0.449J/g^oC$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$200.0J=50.0g\times 0.449J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{50\times 0.449}=8.99^oC$

Change in temperature = 8.99°C

Option b: 50.0 g water, $C_{water}=4.18J/g^oC$

We are given:

$m=50.0g\\C_{water}=4.18J/g^oC$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$200.0J=50.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{50\times 4.18}=0.96^oC$

Change in temperature = 0.96°C

Option b: 25.0 g Pb, $C_{Pb}=0.128J/g^oC$

We are given:

$m=50.0g\\C_{Pb}=0.128J/g^oC$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$200.0J=25.0g\times 0.128J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{25\times 0.128}=62.5^oC$

Change in temperature = 62.5°C

Option d: 25.0 g Ag, $C_{Ag}=0.235J/g^oC$

We are given:

$m=25.0g\\C_{Ag}=0.235J/g^oC$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$200.0J=25.0g\times 0.235J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{25\times 0.235}=34.04^oC$

Change in temperature = 34.04°C

Option e: 25.0 g granite, $C_{granite}=0.79J/g^oC$

We are given:

$m=25.0g\\C_{Fe}=0.79J/g^oC$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$200.0J=25.0g\times 0.79J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{25\times 0.79}=10.13^oC$

Change in temperature = 10.13°C

Hence, the smallest temperature change is shown by water.

What is the mass of protons neutrons and electrons PLZ HURRY

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Mass of proton neutron and electron

Protons, neutrons, and electrons: Both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 amu and are found in the nucleus. However, protons have a charge of +1, and neutrons are uncharged. Electrons have a mass of approximately 0 amu, orbit the nucleus, and have a charge of -1.
