Answer:

A. Show that the total of the masses of the starting substances equals the mass of the mixture.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way if we have mixture of sugar and sand the total weight of mixture is equal to the weight of reactants.

sand + sugar + water → mixture

10g+5g+20 g = 35 g

Question 1

The formula mass of methanol is $12.0+3(1.01)+16.0+1.01=32.04$ g/mol.

Therefore, in 5.0 grams of methanol, there are $5.0/32.04=\boxed{0.16}$ moles.

Question 2

The formula mass of copper(II) carbonate is $63.5+12.0+3(16.0)=123.5$ g/mol.

This means that in 9.0 grams of copper(II) carbonate, there are $9.0/123.5=0.072874493927126$ moles.

Using Avogradro's number, there are $(0.072874493927126)(6.022 \times 10^{23})=\boxed{4.4 \times 10^{22}}$ molecules.

Question 3

The formula mass of cyclohexane is $12.0(6)+1.01(12)=84.12$ g/mol.

So, 3.0 grams of cyclohexane is the same as $3.0/84.12=\boxed{0.036}$ moles.

Question 4

The formula mass of benzene is $12.0(6)+1.01(6)=78.06$ g/mol.

This means that 4.00 moles of benzene has a mass of $(78.06)(4.00)=\boxed{312}$ grams.

Question 5

1000 atoms of calcium is the same as $\frac{1.000}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}$ moles.

This is equal to $\frac{1000}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \cdot 40.078=\boxed{6.7 \times 10^{-20}}$ grams.

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy

zysi [14]

Answer:

First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.

Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.

Explanation:

1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.

2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)

3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.

4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.
