Should a mortar and pestle should be used for grinding only one substance at a time

Chemistry
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
8 0
The mortar and pestle is most commonly used in chemical laboratories or in the kitchen. Its key function is to grind the material into smaller pieces, usually into its powdered form. It looks like that shown in the picture. The mortar is the bowl in which the material to be pounded is placed, and the pestle does the pounding.

Now, when you ask if it can only pound one at a time, my honest answer is, it depends. Depending on the size of your mortar, you could grind materials two or three at a time. But if you are concerned with contamination, then you do it one at a time, especially if you don't want them to get mixed up.

How many grams of oxygen are there in 45.7 grams of Ba(NO2),?
Flauer [41]
I’m assuming you mean barium nitrite, Ba(NO2)2.

First convert grams of Ba(NO2)2 to moles using the molar mass of Ba(NO2)2. Then use the mole ratio of 4 moles of oxygen per 1 mole of Ba(NO2)2 to convert to moles of oxygen. Then use the molar mass of oxygen to convert to grams of oxygen.

45.7 g Ba(NO2)2 • 1 mol Ba(NO2)2 / 229.35 g Ba(NO2)2 • 4 mol O / 1 mol Ba(NO2)2 • 16.0 g O / 1 mol O = 12.8 g oxygen

Dinitrogen pentoxide can be made by the reaction of nitrogen with oxygen. Consider the reaction
Rom4ik [11]
The only reactants are Nitrogen and Oxygen and the only product is dinitrogen pentoxide. Following the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of reactants must equal the total amount of products. Thus, the total mass of dinitrogen pentoxide:
35 + 48
= 83 grams

A chemist mixes 75.0 g of an unknown substance at 96.5°C with 1,150 g of water at 25.0°C. If the final temperature of the system
AleksAgata [21]
To do this problem it is necessary to take into account that the heat given by the unknown substance is equal to the heat absorbed by the water, but considering the correct sign:

-m\cdot c_e\cdot \Delta T = m_w\cdot c_e_w\cdot \Delta T_w

Clearing the specific heat of the unknown substance:

c_e = \frac{m_w\cdot c_e_w\cdot \Delta T_w}{m\cdot \Delta T} = -\frac{1\ 150\ g\cdot 4.184\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}\cdot (37.1 - 25.0)^\circ C}{75\ g\cdot (37.1 - 96.5)^\circ C}

c_e = -\frac{1\ 150\ g\cdot 4.184\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}\cdot 12.1^\circ C}{75\ g\cdot (-59.4)^\circ C} = \bf 13.07\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}
