Answer:

24.5g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen gas = 21.8g

Unknown:

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

This problem deals with the decomposition of water;

Reaction equation;

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂

2 mole of water will produce 1 mole of oxygen gas

First find the number of mole of the oxygen gas given;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of O₂ = 2(16) = 32g/mol

Number of moles of O₂ = $\frac{21.8}{32}$ = 0.68moles

1 mole of oxygen gas will be produced from 2 mole of water

0.68moles of oxygen gas will be produce from 0.68 x 2 moles of water; = 1.36moles of water

Mass of water = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of water = 1.36 x 18 = 24.5g

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F

Explanation:

The equation relating the temperature to time is

$T = T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )$

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min

(a) After 0.5 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.6065)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.3935)\\ & = & 100 + 3.935\\ & = & 103.935\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

(b) After 1 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.6321)\\ & = & 100 + 6.321\\ & = & 106.321\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min

T₀ =106.321 °F

ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F

t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-(t - 1)/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-(2 - 1)/1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (0.6321)\\ & = & 106.321 - 3.996\\ & = & 102.325\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.

The graphs are shown below.

Elements riddle: Without my next door neighbor, I wouldn’t be worth 6 cents. Who am I?

zalisa [80]

If I understand this right, the two elements are Nickel and Copper, elements 28 and 28, respectively. A nickel is worth 5 cents, and a penny, originally comprised of copper, is worth one - the total being six cents.
