What determines crystal size in minerals formed by lava or magma?

Chemistry

Answer:

When magma cools, crystals form because the solution is super-saturated with respect to some minerals. If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small. If the magma cools slowly, then the crystals have enough time to grow and become large.

A student measures a mass of an 8cm3 block of brown sugar to be 19.9G. what is the density of the brown sugar?

Naily [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question we have

$density = \frac{19.9}{8} \\ = 2.4875$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

If 4520 kj of heat is needed to boil a sample of water, what is the mass of water

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1,085g of water

Explanation:

If we have the value 4520kj is because the question is related to Energy and heat capacity. In this case, the law and equation that we use is the following:

Q= m*C*Δt where;

Q in the heat, in this case: 4520kj

m is the mas

Δt= is the difference between final-initial temperature (change of temperature), in this exercise we don´t have temperatura change.

In order to determine the mass, I will have the same equation but finding m

m= Q/C*Δt without m=Q/C

So: m= 4,520J/4.18J/g°C

m= 1,0813 g

Acetaminophen is the generic name of the pain reliever in Tylenol and some other headache remedies- The compoundhas the molecula

slega [8]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percentage of carbon element is 63.57 %, hydrogen element is 5.96 %, nitrogen element is 9.28 % and oxygen element is 21.19 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical formula of $C_8H_9NO_2$ . This compound is made by the combination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen elements.

1 mole of acetaminophen contains 8 moles of carbon atom, 9 moles of hydrogen atom, 1 mole of nitrogen atom and 2 moles of oxygen atom

Mass of carbon element = $(8\times 12)=96g/mol$

Mass of hydrogen element = $(9\times 1)=9g/mol$

Mass of nitrogen element = $(1\times 14)=14g/mol$

Mass of oxygen element = $(2\times 16)=32g/mol$

Mass of the compound = 151 g/mol

To calculate the percentage composition of an element in a compound, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of an element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100$ ........(1)

<u>For carbon element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\% \text{ composition of carbon element}=\frac{96}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of carbon element}=63.57\%$

<u>For hydrogen element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\% \text{ composition of hydrogen element}=\frac{9}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of hydrogen element}=5.96\%$

<u>For nitrogen element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\% \text{ composition of nitrogen element}=\frac{14}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of nitrogen element}=9.28\%$

<u>For oxygen element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\% \text{ composition of oxygen element}=\frac{32}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of oxygen element}=21.19\%$

Hence, the mass percentage of carbon element is 63.57 %, hydrogen element is 5.96 %, nitrogen element is 9.28 % and oxygen element is 21.19 %
