Answer:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge. The atomic number tells you the number of protons in one atom of an element. It also tells you the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.

Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation and _____.

Elena L [17]

Correct Answer: option C: Formation of sea ice

Reason:
<span> In cold regions, changes in salinity alters the water present in ocean. Further, water density also changes with temperature. In general, water density in ocean water increases with decreasing temperature. This is because, when salt is ejected into the ocean as sea ice forms, the water's salinity increases. Since, salt water is heavier, the density of the water increases.</span>

A cubic piece of platinum metal (specific heat capacity = 0.1256 J/°C･g) at 200.0°C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide ('

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

$a=5.65cm$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:

$Q_{Pt}=-Q_{Deu}$

We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:

$m_{Pt}Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})=-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})$

Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:

$m_{Pt}=\frac{-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})}{Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})} \\\\m_{Pt}=\frac{-1.00L*1110g/L*4.211J/(g\°C)*(41.9-25.5)\°C}{0.1256J/(g\°C)*(41.9-200.0)\°C} \\\\m_{Pt}=3860.4g$

Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:

$V_{Pt}=\frac{3860.4g}{21.45g/cm^3}\\ \\V_{Pt}=180cm^3$

Which computed in terms of the edge length is:

$V=a^3$

Therefore, the edge length turns out:

$a=\sqrt[3]{180cm^3}\\ \\a=5.65cm$

Best regards.

Zinc metal and aqueous silver nitrate react to give Zn(NO3)2(aq) plus silver metal. When 5.00 g of Zn(s) and solution containing

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The percent yield is, 83.51 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Zn = 5.00 g

Mass of $AgNO_3$ = 25.00 g

Molar mass of Zn = 65.38 g/mole

Molar mass of $AgNO_3$ = 168.97 g/mole

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Zn and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }Zn=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Zn}{\text{ Molar mass of }Zn}=\frac{5.00g}{65.38g/mole}=0.0765moles$

$\text{ Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }AgNO_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }AgNO_3}=\frac{25.00g}{168.97g/mole}=0.1479moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $AgNO_3$ react with 1 mole of $Zn$

So, 0.1479 moles of $AgNO_3$ react with $\frac{0.1479}{2}=0.07395$ moles of $Zn$

From this we conclude that, $Zn$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $AgNO_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Ag$
