erica [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. Soil

Explanation:

The choice with variable composition is the soil. Soil have many different composition.

  • Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter , water and soil air.
  • Soil minerals are derived from weathered bedrock materials that have been broken down into small pieces.
  • Organic matter is derived from dead and decaying materials from plants and animals.
  • All these materials combine together to form a soil.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH
Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

    No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                           = \frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}

                           = 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

              Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                 1 g/ml = \frac{100 g}{volume}

                    volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                           = \frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}

                           = 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

     NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O

So,          moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

          x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M     (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

                        x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.

Which of the following is not equal to 42.7 millimeters?
Stella [2.4K]

The answer is: C. 0.00427 m.

A) 1 km = 1000000 mm.

d = 0.0000427 km · 1000000 mm/km.

d = 47.7 mm.

B) 1 hm = 100000 mm.

d = 0.000427 hm · 100000 mm/hm.

d = 42.7 mm.

C) 1 m = 1000 mm.

d = 0.00427 m · 1000 mm/m.

d = 4.27 mm.

D) 1 cm = 10 mm.

d = 4.27 cm · 10 mm/cm.

d = 42.7 mm.

Millimeter (abbreviated: mm, a thousandth part of metar) is an unit of distance in the metric system.

A molecule made of hydrogen and carbon with Mr of 56 has the following composition: carbon 85.7%; hydrogen 14.3%. Calculate the
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Assume that 100 grams of C2H4 is present. This means that there are 85.7 grams of carbon and 14.3 grams of hydrogen.

Convert these weights to moles of each element:

85.7 grams carbon/12 grams per mole = 7 moles of carbon.

14.3 grams hydrogen/1 gram per mole = 14 moles of hydrogen.

Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain one mole of carbon and two moles of hydrogen.

Since we know that there cannot be a stable CH2 molecule, multiply by two and you have C2H4 which is ethylene - a known molecule.

The secret is to convert the percentages to moles and find the ration of the constituents.

Given the reaction _K(s) +_ Cl2(g) → _KCl(s) what is the amount of K, in grams, needed to completely react with 2 moles of Cl2(g
damaskus [11]

Answer:

156.4g K

Explanation:

I'm not sure if it is correct but I think it should be this

What do we know so far?: 2K + 1Cl2 -> 2KCl, 2 mol of Cl2

What are we looking for?: #g of K

What is the ratio of K to Cl2?: 2:1

Set up equation: 2molCl2 x \frac{2mol K}{1 mol Cl2}

Cancel unwanted units: 2 x \frac{2mol K}{1}

Answer we got: 2 x 2mol K = 4mol K

Converting moles to grams: 4 x 39.1 (molar mass of K) = 156.4g K

Describe the bonding between sodium chloride and calcium carbonate.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

When the transfer of electrons occurs, an electrostatic attraction between the two ions of opposite charge takes place and an ionic bond is formed. A salt such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is a good example of a molecule with ionic bonding
