One hundred grams of water is saturated with NH CI at

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

About 18 g of NH₄Cl will precipitate.

Explanation:

The table G is the graph of the solubility curves for several solutes which is attached.

The second picture identifies the solubilities for the NH₄Cl at 50ºC and 10ºC.

The solubility of NH₄Cl at 50ºC is about 52 g/ 100 g of water.

The solubility of NH₄Cl at 10ºC is about 34 g / 100 g of water.

Then, at 50ºC 100 g of water saturated with NH₄Cl contains about 52 g of NH₄Cl and 100 g of water saturated with NH₄Cl contains 34 g of NH₄Cl.

The difference, 52g - 34 g of NH₄Cl shall precipitate:

52 g - 34 g = 18g ← answer

A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons, an isolated salt lake. He finds a concentration of 21

VikaD [51]

Answer:

68,2%

Explanation:

Supposing the initial salt concentration of lake Parsons is the same of non-isolated lakes, 6,67L, and the change of salt concentration in isolated lake is just for water evaporation it is possible to write:

6,67gL⁻¹×X = 21gL⁻¹×Y

-Where X is the initial water and Y is the water that remains in the isolated lake-

Thus:

6,67X = 21Y

0,318 = Y/X

0,318 is the ratio of water that remains between total water. To obtain the ratio of evaporated water:

1-0,318 = 0,682

In percentage: 68,2%

I hope it helps!

A student is interested in resource recovery through composting. Which field

sdas [7]

I think it’s microbiology, since it would help the student understand the process of composting the best. Botany is plants- not for composting. Geophysics- he’s not researching tectonic plates. Oceanography- he isn’t interested in the marina trench

A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= 135,583 J = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write the conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.

A neutral isotope has a mass number of 65 and 36 neutrons. Identify the element symbol of this isotope and determine the number

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Is an isotope of Cu (Copper)

Explanation:

Remember that the mass number will tell you the number of protons and neutrons. If you have the mass number(65) and the number of neutrons (36), you just need to subtract: 65 - 36 = 29 the number or protons.

As this is a neutral isotope, that means that is going to have the same number of protons and electrons, that is 29.
