Explanation:

Electrical energy is defined as the energy flowing through a device due to the flow of electrons or charges from one point to another.

The energy present within an object or material due to the sum of its motion and potential energy is known as mechanical energy.

Thermal energy is defined as the energy present within an object because of the motion of its particles.

So, when we plug in and turn on a hair dryer then electrical energy starts to flow. As a result, some of its molecules will gain kinetic energy and some will have potential energy.

Hence, its sum will lead to formation of a mechanical energy. Since, this mechanical energy gets converted into thermal energy due to which hairs get dry.

Thus, we can conclude that the energy transformation that occurs when a hair dryer is plugged in and turned on is that electrical energy transforms into mechanical and thermal energy.

Limiting Reactant

liraira [26]

Answer:

(1) Cl₂ is the limiting reactant.

(2) 8.18 g

Explanation:

2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2NaCl(s)

First we convert the given masses of reactants into moles, using their respective molar masses:

Na ⇒ 12.0 g ÷ 23 g/mol = 0.522 mol Na

Cl₂ ⇒ 5.00 g ÷ 70.9 g/mol = 0.070 mol Cl₂

0.070 moles of Cl₂ would react completely with (2 * 0.070) 0.14 moles of Na. There are more Na moles than that, so Na is the reactant in excess while Cl₂ is the limiting reactant.

Then we calculate how many moles of NaCl are formed, using the limiting reactant:

0.070 mol Cl₂ * $\frac{2molNaCl}{1molCl_2}$ = 0.14 mol NaCl

Finally we convert NaCl moles into grams:

0.14 mol NaCl * 58.44 g/mol = 8.18 g

At 20 âˆ˜C the vapor pressure of benzene C6H6 is 75 torr and that of toluene C7H8 is 22 torr. Assume that benzene and toluene fo

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) Xbenzene = 0.283

b) Xtoluene = 0.717

Explanation:

At T = 20°C:

⇒ vapor pressure of benzene (P*b) = 75 torr

⇒ vapor pressure toluene (P*t) = 22 torr

Raoult's law:

Pi = Xi.P*i

∴ Pi: partial pressure of i

∴ Xi: mole fraction

∴ P*i: vapor pressure at T

a) solution: benzene (b) + toluene (t)

∴ Psln = 37 torr; at T=20°C

⇒ Psln = Pb + Pt

∴ Pb = (Xb)*(P*b)

∴ Pt = (Xt)*(P*t)

∴ Xb + Xt = 1

⇒ Psln = 37 torr = (Xb)(75 torr) + (1 - Xb)(22 torr)

⇒ 37 torr - 22 torr = (75 torr)Xb - (22 torr)Xb

⇒ 15 torr = 53 torrXb

⇒ Xb = 15 torr / 53 torr

⇒ Xb = 0.283

b) Xb + Xt = 1

⇒ Xt = 1 - Xb

⇒ Xt = 1 - 0.283

⇒ Xt = 0.717

What is the mass of HCL is consumed by the reaction of 1.5 mole of magnesium

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 109.5g

Explanation:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2

From the equation,

1mole of Mg required 2moles of HCl

Therefore 1.5moles of Mg will require = 1.5 x 2 = 3 moles of HCl.

Molar Mass of HCl = 1+35.5 =36.5g/mol

Mass conc. Of HCl = 3 x 36.5 = 109.5g

What is the molar mass of a compound?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of a compound is The mass in grams of 1 mole of the compound (Option A)

Explanation:

Let's take ammonia as an example (NH3)

Mass of N = 14 g

Mass of H = 1 g

Molar mass of ammonia is Mass of N + (Mass of H).3

14 + 3 = 17 g/m

Ammonia is a compound that has 1 mol of N, plus 3 moles of H (see the formula)

The number of atoms in 1 mole of the compound --> This is Avogadro
