Explanation:

1.

i. Measure the initial volume of water in a graduated cylinder.

ii. Now submerge the irregularly shaped metal into water in a graduated cylinder.

iii. Measure the final volume of water.

iv. The difference between the final volume and the initial volume is the volume of the irregularly shaped metal.

2.

When adding the irregularly shaped metal into the glass graduated cylinder. Make sure that the irregularly shaped metal is completely submerged into the water.

Determine ΔH for the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 given these data: 2 Ca + 2 C + 3 O2 → 2 CaCO3 ΔH = −2,414 kJ C + O2 → CO2 ΔH = −
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The ΔH for the reaction is -456.5 KJ

Explanation:

Here we want to determine ΔH for the reaction;

Mathematically;

ΔH = ΔH(product) - ΔH(reactant)

In the case of the first reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3)  ...........................(*)

From the other reactions, we can get the respective ΔH for the individual molecule in the reaction

In second reaction;

Kindly note that for elements, molecule of gases, ΔH = 0

What this means is that throughout the solution;

ΔH(Ca)  = 0 KJ

ΔH(O2) = 0 KJ

ΔH(C) = 0 KJ

Thus, in writing the equation for the subsequent chemical reactions, we shall need to write and equate the overall ΔH for the reaction to that of the product alone

So in the second reaction

ΔH = 2ΔH(CaCO3)

Thus;

-2414/2 = ΔH(CaCO3)

ΔH(CaCO3) = -1,207  KJ

Moving to the third reaction, we have;

ΔH = ΔH(CO2)

Hence ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 KJ

For the last reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO)

Hence ΔH(CaO) = -1270 KJ

Going back to equation *

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3)

Using the values of the ΔH  of the respective molecules given above,

ΔH  = -1270 + (-393.5) - (-1207)

ΔH  = -456.5 KJ

A student mixes chemicals A and B together and records the amount of time it takes for a color change to occur. The student repe
k0ka [10]

Answer:

It is mentioned that the student is mixing chemicals A and B and observes the time taken for the color to change. However, in the experiment, it is noticed that the student has repeated the procedure five times and each time he or she is modifying the concentration of chemical B. Thus, it is clear that the concentration of chemical B is the independent variable in the experiment. An independent variable is illustrated as the variable, which is controlled or modified in the experiment.

Boron has two naturally-ocurring isotopes. Boron-10 has an abundance of 19.8% and actual mass of 10.013 amu, and boron-11 has an
aniked [119]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

<u>For first isotope, Boron-10: </u>

% = 19.8 %

Mass = 10.013 amu

<u>For second isotope, Boron-11: </u>

% = 80.2 %

Mass = 11.009 amu

Thus,  

Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{19.8}{100}\times {10.013}+\frac{80.2}{100}\times {11.009}=1.982574+8.829218=10.811792

<u>Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu</u>

How do I balance this equation? ?KNO3 → ?K2O + ?N2(g)+ ?O2(g) and what type of reaction is it?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Explanation:

It's a decomposition, but not a simple one.

KNO3 ==> K2O + N2 + O2   I don't usually do this, but I think the easiest way to proceed is to  balancing the K and N together. That will require a 2 in front of KNO3

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Now you have (3*4) = 12 oxygens. Two are on the K2O. So the other 10 must be on the O2

That should do it.

A helium balloon has a volume of 2.00L at 101kpa. As the balloon rises the pressure drops to 97.0kPa. What is the new volume?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

2.08L

Explanation:

V1 = 2.00L

P1 = 101kPa

P2 = 97.0kPa

V2 = ?

from Boyle's law,

P1V1 = P2V2

101 × 2 = 97 × V2

V2 = 202/97 = 2.08L

Therefore, the new volume is 2.08L
