Answer:

hello some part of your question is missing below is the missing part

1. Mass of water in the boiler 336.6g 2. Mass of wax burn 0.289g 3. Increased in the temperature 6.6 C

and change to Joules and to kilojoules

answer : 9.295 kJ

Explanation:

Calculate how much energy was released by the combustion of the wax

ΔT = 6.6°C

<em>Note :The energy released by the combustion of wax is absorbed by the water </em>

heat = mass * specific heat capacity * ΔT

        = 336.6 * 1 * 6.6  = 221.56 cal

convert;  221.56 cal to J

           = 221.56 * 4.184 = 9295.0 J

<em>hence the energy released by the combustion of the wax = 9.295 kJ</em>

Which option accurately describes the first two stages of photosynthesis?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer;

A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.

-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Given the reaction:
tino4ka555 [31]

4 moles of NaCl is produced from 2 moles of Na₂CrO₄.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given reaction is

PbCl₂(aq) + Na₂CrO₄(aq)→ PbCrO₄(s) + 2 NaCl (aq)

It is the balanced equation which means that on both sides of the equation, number of atoms of each element are equal.

From the above balanced equation it says that molar ratio of Na₂CrO₄ to NaCl is 1 : 2.

That is 1 mole of Na₂CrO₄ produces 2 moles of NaCl, so the molar ratio is 1:2.

2 moles of Na₂CrO₄  produces 4 moles of NaCl.

So the molar ratio of Na₂CrO₄ to NaCl is 2: 4.

The gas in a closed container has a pressure of 3.00 x 10² kPa 30 ° C. What will the pressure be if the temperature is lowered t
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 100kPa

Explanation:

P1 = 3.00 x 10² kPa , P2 =?

T1 = 30°C = 30 +273 = 303k

T2 = —172°C = —172 + 273 = 101k

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3 x 10² / 303 = P2 / 101

P2 = (3 x 10² / 303) x 101

P2 = 100kPa

Consider a certain type of nucleus that has a half-life of 32 min. calculate the percent of original sample of nuclides remainin
Irina18 [472]
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half life of the element and λ is decay constant.

32 = 0.693 / λ 
λ   = 0.693 / 32          (1) 

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt)          (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 1.9 hours = 1.9 x 60 min

From (1) and (2),


Nt = Nο e⁻Λ(0.693/32)*1.9*60
Nt =  0.085Nο 

Percentage = (Nt/Nο) x 100%
                   = (0.085Nο/Nο) x 100%
                   = 8.5%

Hence, Percentage of remaining atoms with the original sample is 8.5%
