a sample of fully saturated clay weighs 1350 g in its natural state and 975 g after drying. what is the natural water content of

the soil
Chemistry

svetoff [14.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The soil has a percentage of water by mass of 27.8 %.

Explanation:

Keeping in mind that

  • Mass of Clay = Mass of water + Mass of Dry Soil

we can <u>calculate the mass of water</u>:

  • 1350 g = Mass of Water + 975 g
  • Mass of Water = 375 g

We can then <u>calculate the mass percentage of water in the soil</u>:

  • 375 / 1350 * 100% = 27.8 %

Which reaction has the highest atom economy for the production of C02?​
In-s [12.5K]

The highest atom economy

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction for the production of CO₂

Required

The highest atom economy

Solution

In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy

of the reaction

the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted

The general formula:

Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100

<em>or </em>

Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100

So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.

select all that apply... Which of the following have energy stored as chemical energy? nuclear...petroleum...biomass...geotherma
d1i1m1o1n [39]
<span>Petroleum and biomass are burned in combustion reactions, which liberate energy stored in chemical bonds. This is chemical energy. In contrast, nuclear energy comes from the conversion of mass into energy when an nuclear reaction occurs. Geothermal energy comes directly from heat sources underground, with no chemical or nuclear reactions.</span>

A decrease in the magnitude of velocity is called
IceJOKER [234]
<span>The answer is deceleration. Acceleration is the general term to refer to the change in velocity. Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time. When you want to highlight the fact that the change in velocity is a decrease in the magnitude, you can use the term deceleration, which means that the acceleration is negative.</span>
