How do you calculate mass using density and volume?
skad [1K]
Example:

Mass = ?

Density = 25 g/mL

Volume = 5 mL

therefore:

d = m / V

25 = m / 5

m = 25 x 5

m = 125 g

hope this helps!

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?
Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as c a^{+} ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to F^{-} ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.

Which substance would evaporate the fastest at room temperature? (Assume each substance has approximately the same molecular
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A non-polar liquid.

Explanation:

Whether a substance dissolves quickly or not depends on how strongly the molecules (or atoms of an element) of a substance are attracted to one another. These interactions between atoms and/or molecules are called intermolecular forces, or IMFs for short. There are several different ones, and these are distinguished from <em>intra</em>molecular forces which are the bonds holding atoms in the molecule together. Attached is a nice little summary of these forces to consider. Our decision lies within the fact that we must pick the substance that experiences the strongest IMF (the one with the most energy). As it turns out, a dipole in a molecule confers some charge distribution on the molecule which makes slightly positive and negative ends. These can attract each other, and it's called dipole-dipole interactions. It can technically happen in a mixture, but let's assume we're dealing with pure substances. Dipoles can only form in polar compounds however, so a non-polar liquid (which is composed of non-polar molecules), will lack these dipoles and therefore cannot form dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules. This results in only having something called dispersion forces (which really every molecule attraction has - so this is the only one). It is very weak, and since the attraction between these molecules is weak, they will tend to come apart, and evaporate. You can think of the IMFs like glue, and a weak glue will not hold the molecules together well, and they will evaporate away.

On the other hand, polar (from dipole interactions) compounds can have general dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen-bonding interactions (which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction). H-bonding requires a Hydrogen bonded to either a Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Fluorine to do this. The main thing, is the non-polar ones don't have a dipole, and so they can't form a good intermolecular bond and evaporate quickly.

Water can H-bond, which is why it takes so long to dry and for it to evaporate in general. Nail polish, which is really a solution of acetone, has considerably weaker dipole-dipole bonds (compared to H-bonds), and evaporates quicker than water. Hope this helps!

If we burn 1 gr of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) this will translate into a release of about 50 W of thermal energy of the flame that r
rjkz [21]

Answer:

0.116%

Explanation:

efficiency of sterling engine = 1 - ( 55 + 273 )k / ( 95 + 273 ) k

                                               = 1 - ( 328 / 368 ) = 0.10869

<u>Determine how efficient the transfer of energy via flame is </u>

apply this relation ; energy of steady state / energy output  ---- ( 1 )

where;  <em><u>energy output</u></em> = efficiency of sterling engine * energy

                                     = 0.10869 * 50 = 5.4345 J/sec

<em><u>energy of steady state</u></em> = 1/2 * I * w^2  ------ ( 2 )

I = moment of inertia of engine = 2 * 10^-5 kgm^2

back to equation 2 :  

energy of steady state = 1/2 * ( 2 * 10^-5 ) * ( 240 * 2π / 60 )^2

                                      = 630.88 * 10^-5  J /sec

Input values into equation 1

= [ (630.88 * 10^-5 )  / 5.4345  ] * 100

= 0.116%
