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 %

What is the net amount of energy released when one mole of h2o(?) is produced?
german
The net amount of energy produced can be obtained from a table of enthalpy change of formation, available online.

The enthalpy change of formation indicate how much energy the 1 mole of the product (H2O) has relative to the elemental reactants (H2 and O2).  In other words, the "lost" energy equals the heat/energy released. 

For water (H2O), this value is -285.8 if the final product is a liquid under standard conditions, and -241.82 if the product is in gas form which contains some energy that could be further released.  This means that if the final product (H2O) is in liquid form, energy released is 285.8 kJ/mol.

Since water is in liquid form under standard conditions, the first value (285.8 kJ/mol) is generally appropriate.

What happens when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water for a long time? write with equation​
Vlada [557]

Answer:

when CO2 gas is passed through lime water it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which formula is CaCO3.

Ca(OH)2+ CO2------ CaCO3

when excess of carbon dioxide is passed through calcium carbonate calcium hydrogen carbonate is formed and solution become colourless.

CaCO3+CO2------ Ca(HCO3)
