A 558 mg of a mixture of fluorene and benzoic acid was weighed out and subjected to an extraction and recrystallization. After t

his purification was completed the product crystals were dried and analyzed. The purification procedure produced 185 mg of fluorene and 144 mg of benzoic acid. Calculate the percent composition of this mixture.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Mass of mixture of  fluorene and benzoic acid = 558 mg

Mass of pure fluorene  after purification = 185 mg of fluorene

Mass of pure  benzoic acid after purification = 144 mg of benzoic acid

Percentage of fluorene int he mixture = 185mg/558mg * 100 = 33.15 %

Percentage of benzoic acid in the mixture = 144mg/558mg * 100 = 25.81 %

Percentage of impurities = 100% - [33.15 + 25.81]

Percentage of impurities = 100 - 58.96

Percentage of impurities = 41.04 %

How does increasing and decreasing the temperature affect the kinetic energy of molecules? How does this impact heat
coldgirl [10]

Answer: As the temperature of a molecular system increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increase. Also as the temperature of a molecular system decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules will also decrease.

Explanation:

James Clerk Maxwell developed the kinetic-molecular theory (KMT) of gases. In this theoey, five assumptions concerning an ideal gas was made. One of the them was that," the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the temperature of the gas". This simply means that a s the temperature of a molecular system increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increase. Also as the temperature of a molecular system decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules will also decrease.

Also another scientist known as Rudolf Clausius incorporated energy into the kinetic theory. He proposed that heat is a form of energy that affects the temperature of matter by changing the motion of molecules in matter.

Heat is defined as the flow of energy which is caused by difference in temperature.

In conclusion, when the temperature of a system is increased, the collision of the molecules with one another and the walls of their container increases as more molecules gain more heat energy at higher temperature. While as the temperature of the system decreases, the collision of the molecules will also decrease as molecules lose heat energy at lower temperature.

Which elements are in the same period?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Elements that are in the same period have chemical properties that are not all that similar. Consider the first two members of period 3: sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg). In reactions, they both tend to lose electrons (after all, they are metals), but sodium loses one electron, while magnesium loses two.

klasskru [66]
This is a combustion reaction. Any reaction in which a hydrocarbon decomposes into carbon dioxide and water is classified as combustion. The energy used for the decomposition usually comes from intense heat, which is why combustion of a hydrocarbon almost always is associated with a source of fire.

Explain the Earth's motion through space, including precession, nutation, the barycenter, and its path about the galaxy.
Vesna [10]

The Earth spins on its axis and revolves around the Sun. The tilt of its axis with respect to the Sun causes the Earth's seasons. The Earth also follows the Sun's rotation around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is moving through space.
