Answer:

Decomposition reaction

Explanation:

2Ag₂O => 4Ag + O₂

As silver oxide is split into silver metal and oxygen gas, it can be classified as decomposition reaction.

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

When a student chemist transferred the metal to the calorimeter, some water splashed out of the calorimeter. will this technique

Natalka [10]

Answer:

It will be reported too low.

Explanation:

To measure the specific heat of the metal (s), the calorimeter may be used. In it, the metal will exchange heat with the water, and they will reach thermal equilibrium. Because it can be considered an isolated system (there're aren't dissipations) the total amount of heat (lost by metal + gained by water) must be 0.

Qmetal + Qwater = 0

Qmetal = -Qwater

The heat is the mass multiplied by the specific heat multiplied by the temperature change. If c is the specific heat of the water:

m_metal*s*ΔT_metal = - m_water *c*ΔT_water

s = -m_water *c*ΔT_water / m_metal*ΔT_metal

So, if m_water is now less than it was supposed to be, s will be reported too low, because they are directly proportional.

The most common source of copper (cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (cufes2). how many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to

tigry1 [53]

Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Cu = 300 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole

Molar mass of $CuFeS_2$ = 183.511 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

$\text{ Moles of Cu}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of Cu}}{\text{ Molar mass of Cu}}= \frac{300g}{63.546g/mole}=4.7209moles$

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles

From the given chemical formula, $CuFeS_2$ we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.

So, The moles of Cu = Moles of $CuFeS_2$ = 4.4209 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of $CuFeS_2$ .

Mass of $CuFeS_2$ = Moles of $CuFeS_2$ × Molar mass of $CuFeS_2$ = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g

Mass of $CuFeS_2$ = 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
