How much energy in joules will be required to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of water from 20 degrees C to 60 degree C
Answer: 8368 Joules
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
[tex]Q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]
Q = Heat absorbed or released =?
c = specific heat capacity of water = [tex]4.184J/g^0C[/tex]
Initial temperature of water = [tex]T_i[/tex] = [tex]20^0C[/tex]
Final temperature of water = [tex]T_f[/tex] = [tex]60^0C[/tex]
Change in temperature ,[tex]\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(60-20)^0C=40^0C[/tex]
Putting in the values, we get:
[tex]Q=50.0g\times 4.184J/g^0C\times 40^0C=8368J[/tex]
Thus energy in Joules required is 8368.
An aqueous solution was made by dissolving 72.9 grams of glucose, C6H12O6, into 115 grams of water. The vapor pressure of the pure water is 26.4 Torr. The vapor pressure of water over this solution is: (a) 27.9 Torr (b) 24.1 Torr (c) 26.8 Torr (d) 24.8 Torr PLease answer this as quick as possible
Answer:
The correct answer is (d) 24.8 Torr
Explanation:
When a solute is added to a solvent, the water pressure of the solution is lower than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. This is called vapor pressure lowering and it is given by the following expression:
Psolution= Xsolvent x Pºsolvent
We have to calculate Xsolvent (mole fraction of solvent) which is given by the number of moles of solute divided into the total number of moles.
First, we calculate the number of moles of solute and solvent. The solute is glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), and its number of moles is calculated from the mass and the molecular weight (MM):
MM (C₆H₁₂O₆)= (12 g/mol x 6) + (1 g/mol x 12) + (16 g/mol x 6) = 180 g/mol
moles of glucose= mass/MM= (72.9 g)/)(180 g/mol)= 0.405 moles
The solvent is water (H₂O) and again we calculate the number of moles as follows:
MM(H₂O)= (1 g/mol x 2) + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol
moles of water= mass/MM= (115 g)/(18 g/mol)= 6.389 moles
Now, we calculate the total number of moles (nt):
nt= moles of glucose + moles of water= 0.405 moles + 6.389 moles= 6.794 moles
The mole fraction of water (Xsolvent) is given by:
Xsolvent= moles of water/nt= 6.389 moles/6.794 moles= 0.940
Finally, the vapor pressure of water over the solution will be the following:
Psolvent= Xsolvent x Pºsolvent= 0.940 x 26.4 Torr= 24.8 Torr

130I decays by emission of beta particles to form stable 130Xe. A 3.00 g iodine sample containing some I-130 was recorded as having 9487 disintegrations per min. k = 0.00094 min -
1. How many radioactive I-130 atoms are present in the sample?
The number of radioactive atoms present in the sample is 1.01 × 10⁷ atoms.
Emission of Beta Particles takes place when there is a numerous amount of neutron to the proton in the nucleus. As a result, the neutron is transformed to proton (which is retained in the nucleus) and electron which leaves the nucleus under high energy.
Given that:
[tex]\mathbf{^{130} I \ \ \ \to ^{- \beta } \ \ \ ^{130}Xe }[/tex]
The rate of disintegration of the radioactive sample per minute is expressed by using the formula:
A = kN
where;
A = number of decay per unitk = decay constantN = total number of atomic particles present in the sample∴
[tex]\mathbf{N = \dfrac{A}{k}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{N = \dfrac{9487}{0.00094}}[/tex]
N = 10092553.19 atoms
N = 1.01 × 10⁷ atoms
Therefore, we can conclude that the number of radioactive atoms present in the sample is 1.01 × 10⁷ atoms.

The average human body contains 5.00 L of blood with a Fe2+ concentration of 1.10×10−5 M . If a person ingests 9.00 mL of 21.0 mM NaCN, what percentage of iron(II) in the blood would be sequestered by the cyanide ion?
Answer:
The percentage is % [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] [tex]= 57.3[/tex]%
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The volume of blood in the human body is [tex]V = 5.0 0 \ L[/tex]
The concentration of [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] is [tex]C_{F} = 1.10 *10^{-5} \ M[/tex]
The volume of NaCN ingested is [tex]V_N = 9.00 \ mL = 9.00 *10^{-3} \ L[/tex]
The concentration of NaCN ingested is [tex]C_N = 21.0 \ mM = 21.0 *10^{-3} \ M[/tex]
The number of moles of [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] in the blood is
[tex]N_F = C_F * V[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]N_F = 1.10 *10^{-5} * 5[/tex]
[tex]N_F = 5.5*10^{-5} \ mols[/tex]
The number of moles of [tex]CN^{-}[/tex] ingested is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]N_C = C_N * V_N[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]N_C = 21*10^{-3} * 9 *10^{-3}[/tex]
[tex]N_C = 1.89 *10^{-4} \ mols[/tex]
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] and [tex]CN^{-}[/tex] is represented as
[tex]Fe^{2+} + 6 CN^{-} \to [Fe(CN)_6]^{2-}[/tex]
From this reaction we see that
1 mole of [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] will react with 6 moles of [tex]CN^{-}[/tex]
=> x moles of [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] will react with [tex]1.89 *10^{-4} \ moles[/tex] of [tex]CN^{-}[/tex]
Thus
[tex]x = \frac{1.89 *10^{-4} * 1}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = 3.15 *10^{-5}[/tex]
Hence the percentage of [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] that reacted is mathematically evaluated as
% [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] [tex]= \frac{3.15 *10^{-5}}{5.5*10^{-5}} * 100[/tex]
% [tex]Fe^{2+[/tex] [tex]= 57.3[/tex]%

Intro
✓ Done
Answer:
Renewable Resources: are considered unlimited, are replaced faster than used.
Nonrenewable Resources: are used more quickly than replaced, have fixed amounts, cannot be replaced in a short time.
Explanation:
Renewable resources are natural resources that are able to naturally regenerate themselves, hence, they are considered to be unlimited. They are usually replaced faster than they are used because they have a short regeneration time. A good example is the solar energy.
Nonrenewable resources are those natural resources that cannot naturally regenerate and when they do, it takes a very long time (usually millions of years). They are therefore used at a much faster rate than they are being replaced and their natural deposits are more or less fixed due to the long regeneration time. A good example is the crude oil deposit.
Hence:
Renewable Resources: are considered unlimited, are replaced faster than used.
Nonrenewable Resources: are used more quickly than replaced, have fixed amounts, cannot be replaced in a short time.

Which are processes that add to the genetic differences in siblings? Cheek all that apply. Interphase Independent assortment Cytokinesis. Crossing over Mitosis
Answer:crossing over
Explanation:
Answer:
Crossing Over and Independent Assortment.
Explanation:
Crossing over: In Prophase I of Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes line up their chromatids and "cross-over", or exchange corresponding segments of DNA with each other. This produces genetic variation by allowing more combinations of genes to be produced.
Independent Assortment: In Anaphase I of Meiosis I, homologues separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. Resulting cells have one chromosome from each pair of homologous chromosomes. However, WHICH chromosome that each cell gets is completely random.

➔ Which compound has both ionic and covalent bonds? A. Ammonium chloride B. Carbon dioxide C. Ethyl ethanoate D. Sodium chloride
Answer:
Choice A. Ammonium chloride.
Explanation:
Consider the bonds in each of the four compounds.
Ammonium chlorideAmmonium chloride [tex]\rm NH_4Cl[/tex] is an ionic compound. Each
The [tex]\rm {NH_4}^{+}[/tex] and [tex]\rm Cl^{-}[/tex] ions in [tex]\rm NH_4Cl[/tex] are connected with ionic bonds.
What make [tex]\rm NH_4Cl[/tex] special is that its cation [tex]\rm {NH_4}^{+}[/tex] is polyatomic. In other words, each [tex]\rm {NH_4}^{+}[/tex] ion contains more than one atoms. These atoms (one [tex]\rm N[/tex] atom and four [tex]\rm H[/tex] atoms) are connected with covalent bonds. Therefore, [tex]\rm NH_4Cl[/tex] has both ionic and covalent bonds.
Carbon dioxideCarbon dioxide [tex]\rm CO_2[/tex] is a covalent compound. Each [tex]\rm CO_2[/tex] molecule contains two [tex]\rm C=O[/tex] double bonds in total. [tex]\rm CO_2[/tex] molecules have no ionic bond.
Ethyl ethanoateThe name "ethyl ethanoate" might sound like the name of a salt (think about sodium ethanoate.) However, in reality, ethyl ethanoate [tex]\rm CH_3COOCH_2CH3[/tex] is an ester. The "ethyl" here refers to the [tex]\rm -OCH_2CH3[/tex] part, originating from ethanol. On the other hand, "ethanoate" refers to the [tex]\rm CH_3C(O)-[/tex] part, which can be obtained from ethanoic acid.
These two parts are connected with a covalent [tex]\rm C-O[/tex] single bond. (The [tex]\rm C[/tex] in ethanoic acid is connected to the [tex]\rm O[/tex] in ethanol.) As a result, there's no ionic bond in ethyl ethanoate, either.
Sodium chlorideSodium chloride [tex]\rm NaCl[/tex] is an ionic compound. Both the [tex]\rm Na^{+}[/tex] ion and the [tex]\rm Cl^{-}[/tex] are monoatomic. While the [tex]\rm Na^{+}[/tex] and [tex]\rm Cl^{-}[/tex] in sodium chloride are connected with ionic bonds, neither [tex]\rm Na^{+}[/tex] nor [tex]\rm Cl^{-}[/tex] contains covalent bond.
If you needed a 1.5 x 1 0-4 M solution of a compound that has a molar mass of 760 g/mol, what would it concentration be in parts per million?
Answer:
114 ppm
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Conc. of compound in mol/L = 1.5×10¯⁴ mol/L
Molar mass of compound = 760 g/mol
Conc. in ppm =..?
Next, we shall determine the concentration of the compound in grams per litre (g/L) . This is illustrated below:
Conc. in mol/L = conc. in g/L / Molar mass
1.5×10¯⁴ = conc. In g/L / 760
Cross multiply
Conc. in g/L = 1.5×10¯⁴ x 760
Conc. in g/L = 0.114 g/L
Next, we shall convert 0.114 g/L to milligrams per litre (mg/L). This is illustrated below:
1 g/L = 1000 mg/L
Therefore, 0.114 g/L = 0.114 x 1000 = 114 mg/L
Finally, we shall convert 114 mg/L to parts per million (ppm). This is illustrated below:
1 mg/L = 1 ppm
Therefore, 114 mg/L = 114 ppm
From the calculations made above,
1.5×10¯⁴ mol/L Is equivalent to 114 ppm.
The Ksp of calcium sulfate, CaSO4, is 9.0 × 10-6. What is the concentration of CaSO4 in a saturated solution? A. 3.0 × 10-3 Molar B. 9.0 × 10-3 Molar C. 3.0 × 10-6 Molar D. 9.0 × 10-6 Molar
Answer: The concentration of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] in a saturated solution is [tex]3.0\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
Explanation:
Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as [tex]K_{sp}[/tex]
The equation for the ionization of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] is given as:
[tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] = [tex]9.0\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
By stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] gives 1 mole of [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] and 1 mole of [tex]SO_4^{2-}[/tex]
When the solubility of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] is S moles/liter, then the solubility of [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] will be S moles\liter and solubility of [tex]SO_4^{2-}[/tex] will be S moles/liter.
[tex]K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][SO_4^{2-}][/tex]
[tex]9.0\times 10^{-6}=[s][s][/tex]
[tex]9.0\times 10^{-6}=s^2[/tex]
[tex]s=3.0\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
Thus concentration of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] in a saturated solution is [tex]3.0\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
Which of the following cannot have hydrogen bonds? Select one: A. NH3 B. H2O C. HF D. CH3NH2 E. Which of the following cannot have hydrogen bonds? Select one: A. NH3 B. H2O C. HF D. CH3NH2 E. HCl
Answer:
E. HCl
Explanation:
Cl atom does not have enough electronegativity to make enough positive charge on H.
HCl is the compound which doesn't have hydrogen bonds. This is because of
the higher size of the chlorine atom.
There is no hydrogen bond because of the high size of the chlorine.
Chlorine have electrons with a very low density. It is also very
electronegative which explains why the formation of hydrogen bonds in the
compound HCl is not possible.
Instead, HCl has covalent bonds in which electron is shared between the
hydrogen and chlorine to achieve a stable configuration.

Paper is stable at room temperature in the presence of oxygen (O2) because it requires ____________ to start the reaction.
Answer:
Energy
Explanation:
Paper is oxidized in the presence of oxygen. This reaction however proceeds very slowly until energy is supplied to the system. This implies that the reaction is not spontaneous at room temperature. A spontaneous reaction takes place without any need for external supply of energy.
The need for supply of external energy must be as a result of the high activation energy required for the reaction to go to completion. If a chemical reaction has a high activation energy, it will require an external supply of energy in order for such reaction to occur.

Calculate the grams of solute needed to prepare 107 mL of a 2.75 M magnesium
chloride solution
Your Answer:
Answer
Answer: 28.02 g
Explanation:
The M stands for molarity. It is moles of solute/liters of solution. We can use the molarity to convert liters to mL, then make a proportion to find the grams.
[tex]\frac{2.75 mol}{L} *\frac{1L}{1000mL} =\frac{2.75 mol}{1000mL}[/tex]
Now that we have molarity in moles and mL, we can use the 107mL to get moles.
[tex]\frac{2.75moles}{1000mL} *107mL=0.29425mol[/tex]
We would multiply moles by molar mass to get grams. The molar mass of magnesium chloride is 95.211 g/mol.

How many moles of sulfur trioxide will be produced when the complete combustion of 100.0 g of sulfur dioxide takes place
Answer:
1.563 moles of SO3.
Explanation:
We begin by calculating the number of mole present in 100g of sulphur dioxide, SO2. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of SO2 = 32 + (16x2) = 64g/mol
Mass of SO2 = 100g
Mole of SO2 =..?
Mole = mass/Molar mass
Mole of SO2 = 100/64
Mole of SO2 = 1.563 mole
Now, we can obtain the number of mole of sulphur trioxide, SO3 produce from the reaction as follow:
2SO2 + O2 —> 2SO3
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of SO2 reacted to produce 2 moles of SO3.
Therefore, 1.563 moles of SO2 will also react to produce 1.563 moles of SO3.
Therefore, 1.563 moles of SO3 is obtained from the reaction.

Assuming the same temperature and pressure for each gas, how many milliliters of carbon dioxide are produced from 16.0 mL of CO?
2 CO(g) + O2(g)
2 CO2(g)
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
[tex]V_{CO_2}=16.0mL[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given that the same temperature and pressure is given for all the gases, we can notice that 16.0 mL are related with two moles of carbon monoxide by means of the Avogadro's law which allows us to understand the volume-moles relationship as a directly proportional relationship. In such a way, since in the chemical reaction:
[tex]2CO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)[/tex]
We notice two moles of carbon monoxide yield two moles of carbon dioxide, therefore we have the relationship:
[tex]n_{CO}V_{CO}=n_{CO_2}V_{CO_2}[/tex]
Thus, solving for the yielded volume of carbon dioxide we obtain:
[tex]V_{CO_2}=\frac{n_{CO}V_{CO}}{n_{CO_2}} =\frac{2mol*16.0mL}{2mol}\\ \\V_{CO_2}=16.0mL[/tex]
