Chemistry

Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.

A sample of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) has a mass of 1.202 g.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 0.003512 moles

b) Moles C= 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

c) C atoms = 2.54 *10^22 carbon atoms

H atoms = 4.65 *10^22 hydrogen atoms

O atoms = 2.33 *10^22 oxygen atom

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sucrose = 1.202 grams

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of sucrose

Moles sucrose = Mass sucrose / molar mass sucrose

Moles sucrose = 1.202 grams / 342.3 g/mol

Moles sucrose = 0.003512 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of each element

For 1 mol of C12H22O11 we have 12 moles of carbon, 22 moles of hydrogen and 11 moles of oxygen

Moles C: 12*0.003512 = 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H: 22* 0.003512 = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O: 11* 0.003512 = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

Step 4: Calculate the number of atoms

C atoms = 6.022 *10^23 / mol * 0.04214 moles = 2.54 *10^22 atoms carbon

H atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.07726 moles = 4.65 *10^22 atoms H

O atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.03863 moles = 2.33 *10^22 atoms O

0.003512 moles of sucrose containse 6.022 *10^23 * 0.003512 = 2.11 * 10^21 sucrose molecules

a heliox tank contains 32% helium and 68% oxygen. the total pressure in the tank is 395 kPa. What is the partial pressure of oxy

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Pp O2 = 82.944 KPa

Explanation:

heliox tank:

∴ %wt He = 32%

∴ %wt O2 = 68%

∴ Pt = 395 KPa

⇒ Pp O2 = ?

assuming a mix of ideal gases at the temperature and volumen of the mix:

∴ Pi = RTni/V

∴ Pt = RTnt/V

⇒ Pi/Pt = ni/nt = Xi

⇒ Pi = (Xi)*(Pt)

∴ Xi: molar fraction (ni/nt)

⇒ 0.68 = mass O2/mass mix

assuming mass mix = 100 g

⇒ mass O2 = 68 g

∴ molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

⇒ moles O2 = (68 g)(mol/32 g) = 2.125 mol O2

⇒ mass He = 32 g

∴ molar mass He = 4.0026 g/mol

⇒ moles He = (32 g)(mol/4.0026 g) = 7.995 mol He

⇒ nt = nO2 + nHe = 2.125 mol + 7.995 mol = 10.12 moles

molar fraction O2:

⇒ X O2 = nO2/nt = (2.125 mol/10.12 mol) = 0.2099

⇒ Pp O2 = (X O2)(Pt)

⇒ Pp O2 = (0.2099)(395 KPa)

⇒ Pp O2 = 82.944 KPa

A 50.0 g gold spoon at 10.0 °c is placed in a cup of how water 95.0 °c. how much heat does the water lose to the spoon if the sp

Flauer [41]

Heat energy is calculated by multiplying the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance by the change in temperatures. Therefore,the heat lost by water will be given by mass of water (in kg) × specific heat capacity of water × change in temperature. This heat will be equivalent to the heat gained by the spoon calculated by mass of the spoon by specific heat capacity by change in temperature. (considering that the specific heat capacity of gold is 125.6 J/kg/k)
hence, 0.05 kg × 49 × 125.6 J/kg/k = 307.72 Joules
therefore, heat lost by water is equivalent to 307.72 Joules
