Jeremy hypothesized that adults with blue eyes are shorter than adults with brown eyes. He collected data by visiting all of the

teachers in his school and found that his hypothesis was false. Should Jeremy consider his hypothesis useful?
A.
No; a false hypothesis makes a scientist look silly.
B.
No; false hypotheses are a waste of time.
C.
Yes; a false hypothesis gives a scientist new information to use.
D.
Yes; now he knows that the exact opposite of his hypothesis must be true.

2. What is the molarity of a HCl solution containing 1.2 grams of hydrochloric acid in 0.025 L of solution?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1.3M

Explanation:

Convert from grams to moles:

molar mass of HCl = 1.01g(molar mass of H) + 35.45g(molar mass of Cl) = 36.46g HCl

1.2g HCl (1mol HCl/36.46g HCl)

= .0329 mol HCl

Molarity = mol/L (important formula for concentration)

Plug your values in:

Molarity = .0329mol/.025L

1.317M - but you used two significant figures in the question, so:

1.3M

When backpacking in the wilderness, hikers often boil water to sterilize it for drinking. Suppose that you are planning a backpa

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

2.104 L fuel

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water = 35 L = 35 × 10³ mL

initial temperature of water = 25.0 ° C

The amount of heat needed to boil water at this temperature can be calculated by using the formula:

$q_{boiling} = mc \Delta T$

where

specific heat of water c= 4.18 J/g° C

$q_{boiling} = 35 \times 10^{3} \times \dfrac{1.00 \ g}{1 \ mL} \times 4.18 \ J/g^0 C \times (100 - 25)^0 C$

$q_{boiling} = 10.9725 \times 10^6 \ J$

Also; Assume that the fuel has an average formula of C7 H16 and 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water;

thus the heat of combustion can be determined via the expression

$q_{combustion} =- \dfrac{q_{boiling}}{0.15}$

$q_{combustion} =- \dfrac{10.9725 \times 10^6 J}{0.15}$

$q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{7} \ J$

$q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ$

For heptane; the equation for its combustion reaction can be written as:

$C_7H_{16} + 11O_{2(g)} -----> 7CO_{2(g)}+ 8H_2O_{(g)}$

The standard enthalpies of the products and the reactants are:

$\Delta H _f \ CO_{2(g)} = -393.5 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ H_2O_{(g)} = -242 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ C_7H_{16 }_{(g)} = -224.4 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ O_{2{(g)}} = 0 kJ/mol$

Therefore; the standard enthalpy for this combustion reaction is:

$\Delta H ^0= \sum n_p\Delta H^0_{f(products)}- \sum n_r\Delta H^0_{f(reactants)}$

$\Delta H^0 =( 7 \ mol ( -393.5 \ kJ/mol) + 8 \ mol (-242 \ kJ/mol) -1 \ mol( -224.4 \ kJ/mol) - 11 \ mol (0 \ kJ/mol))$

$\Delta H^0 = (-2754.5 \ \ kJ - 1936 \ \ kJ+224.4 \ \ kJ+0 \ \ kJ)$

$\Delta H^0 = -4466.1 \ kJ$

This simply implies that the amount of heat released from 1 mol of C7H16 = 4466.1 kJ

However the number of moles of fuel required to burn $7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ$ heat released is:

$n_{fuel} = \dfrac{q}{\Delta \ H^0}$

$n_{fuel} = \dfrac{-7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ}{-4466.1 \ kJ}$

$n_{fuel} = 16.38 \ mol \ of \ C_7 H_{16$

Since number of moles = mass/molar mass

The mass of the fuel is:

$m_{fuel } = 16.38 mol \times 100.198 \ g/mol}$

$m_{fuel } = 1.641 \times 10^{3} \ g$

Given that the density of the fuel is = 0.78 g/mL

and we know that :

density = mass/volume

therefore making volume the subject of the formula in order to determine the volume of the fuel ; we have

volume of the fuel = mass of the fuel / density of the fuel

volume of the fuel = $\dfrac{1.641 \times 10^3 \ g }{0.78 g/mL} \times \dfrac{L}{10^3 \ mL}$

volume of the fuel = 2.104 L fuel

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)=4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

balandron [24]

The volume of ethyne, C₂H₂ required to produce 12 moles of CO₂ assuming the reaction is at STP is 134.4 L

<h3>Balanced equation</h3>

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) --> 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the mole of C₂H₂ needed to produce 12 moles of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

Therefore,

12 moles of CO₂ will be produce by = (12 × 2) / 4 = 6 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the volume (in L) of C₂H₂ needed at STP</h3>

At standard temperature and pressure (STP),

1 mole of C₂H₂ = 22.4 L

Therefore,

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 6 × 22.4

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 134.4 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of C₂H₂ needed for the reaction at STP is 134.4 L
