A collection of pennies was investigated. 10.00% were found to have been minted in San Francisco with an average mass of 2.15 g

and 90.00% we’re minted in in Philly with an average mass of 2.156 g. What was the average mass of pennies in this sample? Give the correct answer with the proper amount of significant figures

The average mass of the pennies in the sample is 2.16 g.

We have a set of pennies from which 10.00% have an average mass of 2.15 g and 90.00% have an average mass of 2.156 g. The average mass (am) of the whole set is a weighted average, that considers the mass (m) and the percentage (perc) of each group. We can calculate it using the following expression.

am=\frac{\Sigma m \times perc  }{100 \%} = \frac{2.15g \times 10.00\% + 2.156 g \times 90.00\% }{100\%} = 2.1554 g \approx 2.16 g

The average mass of the pennies in the sample is 2.16 g.

4.Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product
Anastaziya [24]

Explanation:

4.                 limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

How you find a unknown element (just with the atomic emission spectrum)
Sliva [168]
Each natural element has a characteristic light spectrum that helps identify it in samples of unknown substances. Spectroscopy is the practice of examining spectra and comparing them to those of known elements. Using spectroscopy methods, scientists can identify pure substances or compounds and the elements in them.

A hunk of up gold weighs 800 gram to heat the gold up to a temperature of 200 Kelvin if the gold absorbs 12 kilojoules of energy
agasfer [191]

The initial temperature of the gold was 84 K.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>temperature change</em>.

The formula for the heat (<em>q</em>) absorbed is

<em>q</em> = <em>mC</em>Δ<em>T </em>

We can solve this equation to get

Δ<em>T</em> = <em>q</em>/(<em>m</em>C)

<em>q</em> = 12 000 J; <em>m</em> = 800 g; <em>C</em> = 0.129 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹

∴ Δ<em>T</em> = 12 000 J/(800 g × 0.129 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹) = 116 K

<em>Step </em>2. Calculate the <em>initial temperature </em>

Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 200 K – <em>T</em>_i = 116 K

<em>T</em>_i = 200 K – 116 K = 84 K
