Answer: I hope this Help You!:)

Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body.

Weight Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. In other words, an object with a mass of 1.0 kilogram weighs approximately 9.81 newtons on the surface of the Earth, which is its mass multiplied by the gravitational field strength. The object's weight is less on Mars, where gravity is weaker, and more on Saturn, and very small in space when far from any significant source of gravity, but it always has the same mass.

Which of these best describes heat transfer through conduction?

kozerog [31]

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe

Hexane and octane are mixed to form a 45 mol% hexane solution at 25 deg C. The densities of hexane and octane are 0.655 g/cm3 an

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The required volume of hexane is 0.66245 Liters.

Explanation:

Volume of octane = v=1.0 L= $1000 cm^3$

Density of octane= d = $0.703 g/cm^3$

Mass of octane ,m= $d\times v=0.703 g/cm^3\times 1000 cm^3=703 g$

Moles of octane = $\frac{m}{114 g/mol}=\frac{703 g}{114 g/mol}=6.166 mol$

Mole percentage of Hexane = 45%

Mole percentage of octane = 100% - 45% = 55%

$55\%=\frac{6.166 mol}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100$

Total moles = 11.212 mol

Moles of hexane :

$45%=\frac{\text{moles of hexane }}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100$

Moles of hexane = 5.0454 mol

Mass of 5.0454 moles of hexane,M = 5.0454 mol × 86 g/mol=433.9044 g

Density of the hexane,D = $0.655 g/cm^3$

Volume of hexane = V

$V=\frac{M}{D}=\frac{433.9044 g}{0.655 g/cm^3}=662.4494 cm^3\approx 0.66245 L$

(1 cm^3= 0.001 L)

The required volume of hexane is 0.66245 Liters.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

0.11 mol

Explanation:

This is the chemical formula for acetic acid (the chemical that gives the sharp taste to vinegar): CH₃CO₂H. An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 0.054 moles of oxygen in a sample of acetic acid. How many moles of hydrogen are in the sample?

Step 1: Given data

Formula of acetic acid: CH₃CO₂H

Moles of oxygen in the sample of acetic acid: 0.054 moles

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the chemical formula of acetic acid, the molar ratio of H to O is 4:2.

Step 3: Calculate the moles of atoms of hydrogen

We will use the theoretical molar ratio for acetic acid.

0.054 mol O × (4 mol H/2 mol O) = 0.11 mol H

Help pls! Answer all of it. Idk if what I wrote is correct.

The reaction is actually endothermic because delta H is positive, indicating that it absorbing heat.
