What is the mass of 4.2kg gold when it's transferred to a planet having twice the gravity of earth

Chemistry

Answer:

The only relationship is that the larger the mass of an object the more gravitational force it has. So... something that has more mass has more gravity. The mass of 4.2kg of gold when transferred to this new planet is still 4.2kg. However, the WEIGHT (not mass) is now doubled to 8.4kg. Mass is constant it is how much matter something is made up of. Weight depends on the gravitational force. Moreover, I would look at other answers too (I'm not entirely confident of saying that the weight is 8.4kg since I don't have any gravitational equations in front of me it just sounds logical).

A salt solution will conduct electricity but if sugar solution will not explain why

Rainbow [258]

Salt solution such as sodium chloride (NaCl) conducts an electric current because it has ions in it that have the freedom to move about in solution. ... On the other hand, sugar solution does not conduct an electric current because sugar (C12H22O11) dissolves in water to produce sugar molecules

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856$

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right] & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}$

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}$

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for pKₐ:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the pKₐ value of lactic acid is about 3.856.

What is the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2? *

olga55 [171]

Answer: 9.68 x 10^10 grams.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of CO2 = ?

Number of molecules of CO2 = 2.2x10^9 molecules

Molar mass of CO2 = ? (let unknown value be Z)

For the molar mass of CO2: Atomic mass of Carbon = 12; Oxygen = 16

= 12 + (16 x 2)

= 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (Mass of CO2 in grams/Molar mass)

2.2x10^9 molecules = Z/44g/mol

Z = 2.2x10^9 molecules x 44g/mol

Z = 9.68 x 10^10g

Thus, the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2 is 9.68 x 10^10 grams.

SO2(g) + NO2(g) ↔ SO3(g) + NO(g) Kc = 0.33 A reaction mixture contains 0.41 M SO2, 0.14 M NO2, 0.12 M SO3 and 0.14 M NO. Which o

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The reaction will shift in the direction of products.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A reaction mixture contains:

0.41 M SO2

0.14 M NO2

0.12 M SO3

0.14 M NO

Step 2: The balanced equation

O2(g) + NO2(g) ↔ SO3(g) + NO(g) Kc = 0.33

Step 3: Define the direction of the shift of reaction:

When Q<K, there are more reactants than products. As a result, some of the reactants will become products, causing the reaction to shift to the right.

When Q>K, there are more products than reactants. To decrease the amount of products, the reaction will shift to the left and produce more reactants.

When Q=K, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to either the left or the right.

Step 4: Calculate Q

Q = [NO][SO3]/[SO2][NO2]

Q = (0.14 *0.12)/(0.41*0.14)

Q = 0.0168/0.0574

Q = 0.293

Q<Kc

This means there are more reactants than products. Thud, some of the reactants will become products, causing the reaction to shift to the right.

The reaction will shift in the direction of products.
