Answer:

If you want to filter out the grains then certainly you could using normal filter papers in a filter funnel and repeat until the solution is clear of bits. You could also use a sintered glass filter. However, there will still be compounds from the coffee dissolved in the water and so a molecular sieve could be used and/or a chromatography column to separate these from the water. (You could try reverse osmosis if you really want to try an extreme method and have heaps of lab equipment and time). In practice it is probably easier just to distill the water off in the usual chemical lab way. Of course you could drink the coffee and inevitably separate out the water!

How many grams of carbon should be burned in an excess of oxygen at stp to obtain 2. 21 l of carbon dioxide?.

snow_tiger [21]

You must burn 1.17 g C to obtain 2.21 L CO2 at
STP.
The balanced chemical equation is
C+02+ CO2.
Step 1. Convert litres of CO, to moles of CO2.
STP is 0 °C and 1 bar. At STP the volume of 1 mol
of an ideal gas is 22.71 L.
Moles of CO2= 2.21 L CO2 × (1 mol CO2/22.71 L
CO2) = 0.097 31 mol CO2
Step 2. Use the molar ratio of C:CO2 to convert
moles of CO to moles of C
Moles of C= 0.097 31mol CO2 × (1 mol C/1 mol
CO2) = 0.097 31mol C
Step 3. Use the molar mass of C to calculate the
mass of C
Mass of C= 0.097 31mol C × (12.01 g C/1 mol C) =
1.17 g C
It looks as if you are using the old (pre-1982)
definition of STP. That definition gives a value of
1.18 g C.

1. What process occurs along transform fault plate boundary?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Along the third type of plate boundary, two plates move laterally and pass each other along giant fractures in Earth's crust. Transform faults are so named because they are linked to other types of plate boundaries. The majority of transform faults link the offset segments of oceanic ridges.

A cool, yellow-orange flame is used to heat the crucible. Would this affect the mass of the crucible? If so, how?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Usually, it would not affect the crucible, but depending on the temperature of the flame the enamel of the crucible may begin to melt and stick to the metal object being used to handle the crucible. This tiny amount that is melted off can cause very small changes in the original mass of the crucible, which although it is almost unnoticeable it is still there. Therefore, the answer to this question would be yes.

2. What are the characteristics of an acid (at least 3)?

arlik [135]

Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.

Explanation:

Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)

Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.

Increases the H+ concentration in water.

if 30.0L of oxygen are cooled from 200 degrees celsius to 1 degree celsius at constant pressure, what is the new volume of oxyge

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 18.65L

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of oxygen (V1) = 30.0L

Original temperature of oxygen (T1) = 200°C

[Convert temperature in Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

So, (200°C + 273 = 473K)]

New volume of oxygen V2 = ?

New temperature of oxygen T2 = 1°C

(1°C + 273 = 274K)

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

30.0L/473K = V2/294K

To get the value of V2, cross multiply

30.0L x 294K = 473K x V2

8820L•K = 473K•V2

Divide both sides by 473K

8820L•K / 473K = 473K•V2/473K

18.65L = V2

Thus, the new volume of oxygen is 18.65 liters.
