Lee conducts an experiment to see if mass is conserved when a piece of charcoal is burned for 5.0 minutes. He measures the mass

of the charcoal before lighting it with a match. At the end of 5.0 minutes, Lee puts out the fire by suffocating it. After the charcoal has cooled, he measures its mass again. His data are below.
Initial Mass | Final Mass
.415 | .289

Charlene tries to repeat Lee's experiment by using a different piece of charcoal. But she burns the charcoal for just 3.0 minutes and collects all of the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal. She then weighs the total mass of these objects. Her results are below.
Initial Mass | Final Mass
.498 | .498
Charlene's experimental results indicate that mass was conserved. Why do Lee's results indicate that mass was not conserved?

He burned the charcoal for a longer period of time than Charlene did.

He did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal.

He forgot to measure the mass of the charcoal while it was still burning.

Mass is not conserved when an object undergoes a chemical change.

Charlene conserves mass by collecting "the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal", and Lee does not . . . so the answer is . .

<u><em> . . . He did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal.</em></u>

Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid answer?
Zepler [3.9K]
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.

The strength of an Arrhenius acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

<span> Weak acid partially ionize in water and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.

For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq).

There are 9.88x1023 molecules of O2 available.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

1.64 moles O₂

Explanation:

Part A:

Remember 1 mole of particles = 6.02 x 10²³ particles

So, the question becomes, how many  '6.02 x 10²³'s are there in 9.88 x 10²³ molecules of O₂?

This implies a division of given number of particles by 6.02 x 10²³ particles/mole.

∴moles O₂ = 9.88 x 10²³ molecules O₂ / 6.02 x 10²³ molecules O₂ · mole⁻¹ = 1.64 mole O₂

_______________

Part B needs an equation (usually a combustion of a hydrocarbon).
