Answer:

C. The reaction can be broken down and performed in steps

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that irrespective of the number of steps followed in a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all enthalpy changes corresponding to all the steps in the overall reaction. The implication of this law is that  the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states of the system.

To obtain MgO safely without exposing magnesium to flame, the reaction sequence shown in the image attached may be carried out. Since the enthalpy of the overall reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states of the system, the sum of the enthalpy of each step yields the enthalpy of formation of MgO.

What is the velocity of a wave traveling north with a frequency of 75 hertz and a wavelength of
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

v = 450 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency = 75 Hz

Wavelength = 6 m

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the product of frequency and wavelength.

v = f × λ

v = 75 Hz ×  6 m

Hz = s⁻¹

v = 75  s⁻¹  ×  6 m

v = 450 m/s

What was one main point of Dalton's atomic theory?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

C. That atoms made up the smallest form of matter

Explanation:

The crux of the Dalton's atomic theory is that atoms are the smallest form of matter. He propositioned that atoms is an indivisible particle and beyond an atom, no form of matter exists.

Series of discoveries through time have greatly shaped the Dalton's atomic theory. The discovery of cathode rays by J.J Thomson in 1897 opened up the atom. Atoms were now seen to be made up of some negatively charged particles. Ernest Rutherford through his gold foil experiment proposed the nuclear model of the atom.

Grams of sodium 9.5g in NaCl <br>​
Kitty [74]

Answer:

3.68 grams.

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 9.5 g of NaCl into moles of NaCl</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

9.5 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol = 0.16 mol NaCl

In<em> 0.16 moles of NaCl there are 0.16 moles of sodium </em>as well.

We now <u>convert 0.16 moles of sodium into grams</u>, using <em>sodium's molar mass</em>:

0.16 mol * 23 g/mol = 3.68 g
