Answer:

Burning of the candle is both physical and chemical change. Burning of the candle melts the wax and hence physical state of wax has changed from solid to liquid.  

Again the wax combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide, heat and light.  

Thus both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.

Explanation:

hope this helps!

A 0.529-g sample of gas occupies 125 ml at 60. cm of hg and 25°c. what is the molar mass of the gas?
Llana [10]

<span>Let's </span>assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 60 cm Hg = 79993.4 Pa
V = </span>125  mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³

n = ?

<span> R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 25 °C = 298 K
<span>
By substitution,
</span></span>79993.4 Pa<span> x </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 298 K<span>
                                          n = 4.0359 x 10</span>⁻³ mol

<span>
Hence, moles of the gas</span> = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>

Moles = mass / molar mass

</span>Mass of the gas  = 0.529 g 

<span>Molar mass of the gas</span> = mass / number of moles<span>
                                    = </span>0.529 g / 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
<span>                                    = </span>131.07 g mol</span>⁻¹<span>

Hence, the molar mass of the given gas is </span>131.07 g mol⁻¹
