The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
                        heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
                                specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
                                specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.

In the equation below
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

6.25 moles of N₂ is produced, and 18.8 moles of Cu and H₂O is produced.

Explanation:

We are given the chemical equation:

\displaystyle 2\text{NH$_3$}_\text{(g)} + 3\text{CuO}_\text{(s)} \longrightarrow \text{N$_2$}_\text{(g)}  + 3\text{Cu}_\text{(s)}+3\text{H$_2$O}_\text{(g)}

And we want to determine the amount of products produced when 12.5 moles of NH₃ is reacted with excess CuO.

Compute using stoichiometry. From the equation, we can see the following stoichiometric ratios:

  • The ratio between NH₃ and N₂ is 2:1. (i.e. One mole of N₂ is produced from every two moles of NH₃.)
  • The ratio between NH₃ and Cu is 2:3.
  • The ratio between NH₃ and H₂O is 2:3. (i.e. Three moles of H₂O or Cu is produced frome every two moles of NH₃.)

Dimensional Analysis:

  • The amount of N₂ produced:

\displaystyle 12.5\text{ mol NH$_3$} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol N$_2$}}{2\text{ mol NH$_3$}} = 6.25\text{ mol N$_2$}

  • The amount of Cu produced:

\displaystyle 12.5\text{ mol NH$_3$} \cdot \frac{3\text{ mol Cu}}{2\text{ mol NH$_3$}} = 18.8\text{ mol Cu}

  • And the amount of H₂O produced:

\displaystyle 12.5\text{ mol NH$_3$} \cdot \frac{3\text{ mol H$_2$O}}{2\text{ mol NH$_3$}} = 18.8\text{ mol H$_2$O}

In conclusion, 6.25 moles of N₂ is produced, and 18.8 moles of Cu and H₂O is produced.

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is C_5H_7N

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g

Mass of H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55 of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5

For Hydrogen  = \frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7

For Nitrogen = \frac{97.73}{97.73}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
Kisachek [45]
The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.

In which direction does the wind blow from during a sea breeze
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Sea breeze moves from the areas of higher pressure on the water in the direction of the areas of lower pressure on land.

Explanation:

Sea breeze moves from the areas of higher pressure on the water in the direction of the areas of lower pressure on land. Whereas, land breeze blows from the areas of higher pressure on land to the areas of lower pressure on water.
