Distinguish between the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant proportion

1 answer:

5 0

Laws of conservation of mass - It states that mass can neither created nor destroyed. The total mass before and after a chemical reaction remains constant. Laws of constant proportion - It states that in a chemical substance the elements are always present in a fixed proportion by their mass.

The equilibrium constant has been estimated to be 0.12 at 25 °C. If you had originally placed 0.069 mol of cyclohexane in a 2.8

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: Concentrations of cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane at equilibrium are 0.0223 M and 0.0027 M respectively

Explanation:

Moles of cyclohexane = 0.069 mole

Volume of solution = 2.8 L

Initial concentration of cyclohexane = $\frac{moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.069}{2.8}=0.025M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

cyclohexane ⇔ methylcyclopentane

Initial conc. 0.025 M 0

At eqm. conc. (0.025-x)M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K= methylcyclopentane / cyclohexane

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$0.12=\frac{(x)}{(0.025-x)}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.0027

Concentration of cyclohexane at equilibrium = (0.025-x ) M = (0.025-0.0027) M = 0.0223 M

Concentration of methylcyclopentane at equilibrium = (x ) M = (0.0027) M

A gas of unknown identity diffuses at a rate of 155 mL/s in a diffusion apparatus in which carbon dioxide diffuses at the rate o

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

19.07 g mol^-1

Explanation:

The computation of the molecular mass of the unknown gas is shown below:

As we know that

$\frac{Diffusion\ rate\ of unknown\ gas }{CO_{2}\ diffusion\ rate} = \frac{\sqrt{CO_{2\ molar\ mass}} }{\sqrt{Unknown\ gas\ molercular\ mass } }$

where,

Diffusion rate of unknown gas = 155 mL/s

CO_2 diffusion rate = 102 mL/s

CO_2 molar mass = 44 g mol^-1

Unknown gas molercualr mass = M_unknown

Now placing these values to the above formula

$\frac{155mL/s}{102mL/s} = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ 1.519 = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}}}{1.519} \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{44 g mol^{-1}}{(1.519)^{2}}$

After solving this, the molecular mass of the unknown gas is

= 19.07 g mol^-1

What is some fun facts about the person who started Sand Storms? What can be the worst in a Sand Storms? If you were caught in o

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The clouds that carry the dust can be huge, and miles long. They can rise to be over 305m. They also have wind speeds of at least 40 kilometers.Sandstorms can happen really quickly.

Explanation:

Sandstorms carry with them large volumes of sand and dust. But more than sand, they also carry with them virus spores that interact with the atmosphere. Because of this, I can contact any disease from it.

Other immediate effects of sandstorms to me include the worsening of lung functions if I have asthma. Due to inhalation of large amounts of dust, dust pneumonia could be developed. Diseases such as silicosis could also develop from prolonged exposure to sand. If left untreated, it will eventually lead to asphyxiation and lung cancer. The eyes could also be affected by the particles. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or dry eyes, could develop which could lead to blindness. My exposure to sandstorms could have adverse effects on my circulatory system. So I could either die immediately or fall terrible sick it depend on my health issue.
