Yes, mass never changes. No exceptions.

Actually, mass can change, but it cannot be created nor destroyed, so this means that if sugar goes into a physical change, mass CAN be broken off but CANNOT be destroyed, so your answer is yes mass is conserved.

Calculate the ph of a 0.021 m nacn solution. [ka(hcn) = 4.9  10–10]

ohaa [14]

Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN⁻ + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN⁻) = 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) = 4.9·10⁻¹⁰.
Kb(CN⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH⁻] / [CN⁻].
[HCN] · [OH⁻] = x.
[CN⁻] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10⁻⁵ = x² / (0.021 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.

A reaction in the laboratory yields 5.98 g KAI(SO2)2, How many moles of potassium aluminum

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.0308 mol

Explanation:

In order to convert from grams of any given substance to moles, we need to use its molar mass:

Molar mass of KAI(SO₂)₂ = MM of K + MM of Al + (MM of S + 2*MM of O)*2

Molar mass of KAI(SO₂)₂ = 194 g/mol

Now we calculate the number of moles of KAI(SO₂)₂ contained in 5.98 g:

5.98 g ÷ 194 g/mol = 0.0308 mol

Assume that 1.0 mol of C4H10 is completely burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. How many moles of CO2 would

In-s [12.5K]

You need to first write a chemical equation and balance it
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
1.0 moles X moles
1.0 mol C₄H₁₀ ( $\frac{8 mol CO₂}{2 mol C₄H₁₀}$ ) = 4 moles of CO₂

Matter can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The solid state is distinguished by its ability to

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A solid is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas. Solids molecules stay close to eachother maintaining its shape meaning it is in a ordered pattern.
