Answer:

When factories mass produce something it produces smoke. That smoke can be harmful to something called the ozone layer. The ozone layer is part of earth's atmosphere that protects us from the suns burning heat. When that layer is damaged the sun's heat burns through heating up the world and melting ice causing the water levels to rise. All of this can make working conditions less safe, cause more flooding, and have the sun cause cancer.

A 75 g piece of gold (Au) at 1000 K is dropped into 200 g of H2O at 300K in an insulatedcontainer at 1 bar. Calculate the temper

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

the final temperature is T final = 308 K

Explanation:

since all heat released by gold is absorbed by water

Q gold + Q water = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Assuming first that no evaporation of water occurs , and denoting g as gold and w as water , then

Q gold = m g*cp g* ( T final - T initial g)

Q gold = m w*cp w* ( T final - T initial w)

where

m= mass

cp = specific heat capacity

T final = final temperature

T initial g and T initial w = initial temperature of gold and water respectively

thus

Q gold + Q water = 0

m g*cp g* ( T final - T initial g) + m w*cp w* ( T final - T initial w) =0

m g*cp g* T final + m w*cp w* T final = m g*cp g* T initial g+ m w*cp w* T initial w

T final = (m g*cp g* T initial g+ m w*cp w* T initial w)/(m g*cp g+ m w*cp w)

replacing values and assuming cp w = 1 cal/gK = 4.816 J/gK and cp g = 0.129 J/gK (from tables), then

T final = (75 g*0.129 J/gK* 1000 K + 200 g * 4.816 J/gK * 300 K )/(75 g*0.129 J/gK*+ 200 g * 4.816 J/gK ) = 308 K

T final = 308 K

since T boiling water = 373 K and T final = 308 K , we confirm that water does not evaporate

therefore the final temperature is T final = 308 K

How many moles of sucrose<br> are in 5.25x1029 sucrose<br> molecules? (in scientific notation)

Lorico [155]

Answer:

8.72 × 10^5 moles

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in 5.25 x 10^29 molecules of sucrose, we divide the number of molecules by Avagadro constant (6.02 × 10²³ molecules). That is;

no. of moles = no. of molecules ÷ 6.02 × 10²³ molecules

In this case of sucrose, no of moles contained is as follows;

5.25 × 10^29 ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

5.25/6.02 × 10^ (29-23)

0.872 × 10^6

= 8.72 × 10^5 moles

how much heat is released when 70.9g of water at 66C cools to 25C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gC

Serga [27]

Answer:

-12162.47 joules (or -12000 joules when accounting for significant figures)

Explanation (btw I used 1 cal as 4.184 joules because SI units are better):

q = m c delta T

q = (70.9) (4.184) (25 - 66)

q = (70.9) (4.184) (-41)

q = -12162.47 joules

The alkali metals all react with water. which is the most reactive metal?

kifflom [539]

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.
