Answer:

A. In a graduated cylinder, put some quantity of water and measure the initial volume. Then put a coin and measure the volume. To find the volume of the coin, simply subtract the initial volume (water only) from the ending volume (water + coin). To measure the mass, take a dry coin and place it on an electronic scale. Density = mass / volume, so divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the coin.

B. When measuring the volume, make sure to look at the graduated cylinder at eye level and read from the bottom of the meniscus.

Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
zavuch27 [327]

15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>grams of O_2 to moles of O_2</em>

Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert <em>moles of O_2 to moles of HgO </em>

Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = <em>15.63 mol HgO</em>

An element has an atomic mass of 69.66 amu. It has two
marin [14]

Answer: 63.26%

Explanation:

If we let the abundance of the first isotope be x, then:

69.66=(68.9255)(x)+(70.9247)(1-x)\\69.66=68.9255x+70.9247-70.9247x\\-1.2647=-1.9992x\\x=\frac{-1.2647}{-1.9992} \approx 0.6326

Which is equal to <u>63.26%</u>

The pH of a solution is measured as 4.5. What is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution?
Bond [772]

Answer:

[H⁺] =  3.16 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L

Explanation:

Given data:

pH of solution = 4.5

Hydrogen ion concentration = ?

Solution;

pH = -log [H⁺]

we will rearrange this formula:

[H⁺] =  10∧-pH

[H⁺] = 10⁻⁴°⁵

[H⁺] =  3.16 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L

In caves, dripping groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate can form stalactites and stalagmites. When the water is exposed to
Pepsi [2]
This is a chemical change because there is a new substance that was created and the new chemical can cause other chemical reaction to happen compared to the 1st state of chemical that was in the cave. Because the cave water was exposed to another environment, the calcium bicarbonate, which is also known as salt. When the cave's groundwater was exposed to a different environment the atom in the cave water rearranged and crystallized.
