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>

Determine the correct set of coefficients to balance the chemical equation. __c6h6(l) + __o2(g)? __co2(g) + __h2o(g)
forsale [732]
To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product.  Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2.  Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O.  So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15.  O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O

Convert 3 moles of h2o into grams
lilavasa [31]
To convert 3 mol H2O to grams, just multiply by the molar mass of H2O. 

<span>3 mol H2O * 18 g H2O / 1 mol H2O = 54 g H2O 
 
Hope this helped.</span>

13.8g element consist 4.6 ×10^22 atoms what is atomic mass of element?​
Keith_Richards [23]
<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>
  • Here, to find the atomic mass of element, we must;

We know that,

  • 4.6 x $ \sf{10^{22}}$ atoms of an element weigh 13.8g.

Thus,

The atoms of $ \sf{ 6.02 \times 10^{13}}$ will weigh;

=   \sf{\frac{13.8  \times 6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }{4.6 \times {10}^{22} } } \\

=  \sf{180.6 \: g \:  \: (molar \: mass)}

  • Hence, the molar mass (atomic mass) will be <u>180.6 g.</u>
