Answer:

0.86 g/mL

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, you have to know the formula for "Density." Density refers to "mass per unit volume." It's formula is:

Density (ρ) = $\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Next, we have to convert the units of measurement in accordance to what is being asked in the problem. It is asking for "g/mL," which means we have to convert 1.25 quarts (qt.) to mL and 2.25 pounds (lbs.) to grams.

Let's solve.

1 quart = 946.35 mL

1.25 qt. x $\frac{946.35 mL}{1 qt.}$ = 1,182.94 mL

1 pound = 453.592 grams

2.25 pounds x $\frac{453.592 grams}{1 pound}$ = 1,020.58 grams

Now that we converted them to their appropriate units of measurement, we can now solve for density.

ρ = $\frac{mass}{Volume}$

ρ = $\frac{1,020.58 grams}{1,182.94 mL}$

ρ = 0.86 g/mL

The density of the motor oil is 0.86 g/mL

You want to make 500 ml of a 1 N solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4, MW: 98.1). How many grams of sulfuric acid do you need?

umka21 [38]

Answer:

24.525 g of sulfuric acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

Normality (units of eq/L) is defined as:

$N=\frac{eq_{solute}}{V_{solution}}$

Since the sulfuric acid is the solute, and we already have the volume of the solution (500 mL) but we need it in liters (0.5 L, just divide into 1000), the equivalent grams of solute are given by:

$eq_{solute}=N*V_{solution}=1\frac{eq}{L}*0.5L=0.5 eq$

Now, since the sulfuric acid is diprotic (2 hydrogen atoms in its formula) 1 mole of sulfuric acid has 2 equivalent grams of sulfuric acid, so the mole-mass relationship is developed to find its required mass as follows:

$m_{H_2SO_4}=0.5eqH_2SO_4(\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{2 eqH_2SO_4}) (\frac{98.1 g H_2SO_4}{1 mol H_2SO_4} )\\m_{H_2SO_4}=24.525 g H_2SO_4$

Best regards.

When 35.0 mL of 0.400 M hydrobromic acid and 35.0 mL of 0.400 M ammonia are combined, the pH of the resulting solution will be :

Kay [80]

Answer:

B. Equal to 7.

Explanation:

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid that decreases pH and ammonia is a strong base that increases pH.

As the initial pH of water is 7,0 the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HBr will produce a pH less than 7,0. But, the same effect of decreasing pH is reverted for the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HNO3.

That means the net effect of the two addition is to have a pH:

B. Equal to 7.

A hot lump of 39.9 g of iron at an initial temperature of 78.1 °C is placed in 50.0 mL H 2 O initially at 25.0 °C and allowed to

Drupady [299]

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is $29.6^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of iron = $0.499J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of iron = 39.9 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = $Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 50.0mL=50.0g$

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of iron = $78.1^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $25.0^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$(39.9g)\times (0.499J/g^oC)\times (T_f-78.1)^oC=-(50.0g)\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-25.0)^oC$

$T_f=29.6^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is $29.6^oC$

Earth is about 150 million km from the Sun. The radiation coming from the Sun travels at 300,000 km/s. How long does it take for

meriva

It takes exactly 500 seconds for the sun's radiation to reach the earth or about 8 minutes (8.333333333333... to be exact). Just divide 150 million km by 300,000 km/s. Hope this helps
