What is a matter and how do it work?

Chemistry

Answer:

Matter is any <u>substance</u> that has mass and takes up space. Any physical object consists of matter. It doesn't matter whether it's an atom, element, compound, or mixture. It's all matter. (Not a pun, i promise ツ)

However, unlike some believe, not everything you encounter in the world is matter. Matter can be converted into energy, which has neither mass nor volume. So, light, sound, and heat <u>are not</u> matter. Most objects have both matter and some form of energy, so the distinction can be tricky. For example, <u>a candle flame</u> certainly emits energy (<u>light </u><u>and </u><u>heat</u>), but it also contains <u>gasses </u>and <u>soot</u>, so it is still matter. The building blocks of matter are called "atoms" and "molecules." They, too, are matter. The matter we can detect normally is called "baryonic" matter. However, there is another type of matter out there, which can't be directly detected. But its influence can. It's called dark matter.

Attached below is a picture of examples of matter.

<u>Key words and phrases: </u>

matter, heat, light, dark matter, baryonic matter, sound, energy, mass, volume, space, physical

Hope this helps! Brainliest would be much appreciated! Have a great day! :)

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0 ∘c to water at 60.0∘c is ________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wat
guajiro [1.7K]
First, we have to get:

1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:

according to q formula:

q1 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass

                                             =  1 mol * 18 mol/g

                                            = 18 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K

and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C

by substitution:

∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C

       = 1881 J = 1.881 KJ

2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :

q2 = n*ΔHfus 

when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol

and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol

by substitution:

q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol

     = 6.01 KJ

3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:

q3 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of water = 18 g 

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K

ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C

by substitution:

∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C

      = 4514 J = 4.514 KJ

∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3

                                                  = 1.881 KJ  +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ

                                                  = 12.405 KJ

What is the molarity of a solution containing 55.8 g of mgcl2 dissolved in 1.00 l of solution?
MakcuM [25]
The answer is 0.59 M.

Molar mass (Mr) of MgCl₂ is the sum of the molar masses of its elements.
So, from the periodic table:
Mr(Mg) = 24.3 g/l
Mr(Cl) = 35.45 g/l
Mr(MgCl₂) = Mr(Mg) + 2Mr(Cl) = 24.3 + 2 · 35.45 = 24.3 + 70.9 = 95.2 g/l

So, 1 mol has 95.2 g/l.

Our solution contains 55.8g in 1 l  of solution, which is 55.8 g/l

Now, we need to make a proportion:
1 mole has 95.2 g/l, how much moles will have 55.8 g/l:
1 M : 95.2 g/l = x : 55.8 g/l
x = 1 M · 55.8 g/l ÷ 95.2 g/l ≈ 0.59 M
