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

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 %

Answer:

5625000gm/cm^3

Explanation:

volume=w*h*l=25*15*5=1875cm^3

density=mass*volume

=1875*3000

=5625000gm/cm^3

NEED HELP ASAP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

0.2491

Explanation:

1mole of a gas contains 6.02 × 10²³molecules

x moles will contain 3.408 × 10²¹

x = 1 × 3.408 × 10²¹/ 6.02 × 10²³

= 5.66 × 10^-3moles

Mole = mass/ molar mass

mass = Mole × molar mass

= 5.66 × 10^-3 × 44.01

= 249.0966 × 10^-3

= 0.2490966

to 4 decimal places = 0.2491

Calculate the molecular (formula) mass of each compound: (a) iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate; (b) sulfur tetrachloride; (c) potass
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

a) Iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate: 245,68 g/mol

b) Sulfur tetrachloride: 173,87 g/mol

c) Potassium ermanganate 158,034 g/mol

Explanation:

To solve this kind of exercises you must look for the number of atoms in each molecule first, then look on the periodic table the atom weight and the multiply the atom weight times the quantity of each atom. For instance:

The molecule of Iron(II) acetate itetrahydrate is (CH3COO)2Fe•4H2O, it means that you have:

2 atoms of carbon times the atomic weight of C (12.00g/mol)= 24g

14 atoms of Hidrogen times the atomic weight of H (1,00g/mol)= 14g

6 atoms of Oxigen times the atomic weight of O (16,0g/mol)= 96

2 atoms of Iron times the atomic weight of Fe (55,84g/mol)= 111,68g

At last, you only have to add the results: 24+14+96+11,68= 245,68g/mol. This example was for the first molecule.

See you,
