There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore

1 answer:

4 0

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore, which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

$\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\$

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

$0.103 otz$

The equation below represents a double replacement/displacement reaction;

Naddik [55]

AB+XY->AY+XB
We know that the answer would be KCl because of the switching that takes place during a double displacement reaction. Just like Zn and MnO4 switched and combined, the remaining elements, K and Cl, will combine.
We know that the answer is simply KCl because both K and Cl have an ion of only +/-1, meaning when they cross, no suffixes are made, since their ions are only 1.
For example, if you combined Mg with Cl, you would get MgCl2, because Mg has an ion of +2.
I hope this helps!

(a) Show that the pressure exerted by a fluid P (in pascals) is given by P = hdg, where h is the column of the fluid in metres,

Komok [63]

Answer:

B) THE DEPTH OF THE LAKE IS 0.060 m

Explanation:

b) Determine the depth of the lake in metres

1. Using the general gas law, we will calculate the initial pressure of the air bubbles.

P1V1 /T1 = P2V2/T2

P1 = Unknown

T1 = 5.24 °C

T2 = 18.73 °C

P2 = 0.973 atm

V1 = V1

V2 = 6V1

P1 = P2 V2 T1 / V1 T2

P1 = 0.973 * 6V1 * 5.24 / V1 * 18.73

P1 = 5.09852 * 6 / 18.73

P1 = 30.59112 / 18.73

P1 = 1.633 atm.

2. Calculate the depth of the lake:

Pressure = length * density * acceleration

length = Pressure / density * acceleration

Pressure = 1.633 atm = 1.633 * 101, 325 Nm^2 = 165, 463.725 Nm^2

Density = 1.02 g/cm3 = 1.02 * 10^3 kg/m^3

Acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

So therefore, the length in metres is:

Length = density * acceleration / pressure

Length = 1.02 *10^3 * 9.8 / 165, 463.725

Length = 9.996 * 10^3 / 165 463.725

Length = 0.06 m

Hence, the depth of the lake is 0.06 m

What is the enthalpy of fusion of water?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

d- 334 kJ/g.

Explanation:

You can detect it from the units of the different choices.

a- has the unit J/g.°C that is the unit of the specific heat capacity (c).

b- has the unit Kelvin that is the unit of temperature.

c- has the unit g/mol which is the unit of the molar mass.

d- has the unit kJ/g which is the unit of the enthalpy divided by the no. of rams that is the specific entha;py of fusion.

<em>So, the right choice is: d- 334 kJ/g.</em>
