A balance measures mass to 0.001 g. If you determine the mass of an object that weighs about 30 g, would you record the mass as

30 g, 32 g, 32.1 g, or 32.075 g? Explain your choice by writ­ing one or two complete sentences that describe your thinking.

Answer:

The mass is recorded as 32.075 g

Explanation:

"The first digit of uncertainty is taken as the last significant digit", this is the rule for significant figures in the analysis. The balance measures the mass up to three decimal places, so it makes the most sense to note the  whole figure.

Answer:

30g

Explanation:

The true mass of the recorded will be 30g ±0.001g. This figure means that the actual mass recorded lies somewhere between either 29.999g or 30.001g. Both figures could be rounded to two significant figures giving 30g.

Hence the answer written is correct to two significant figures considering the uncertainty in the measurement of the mass.

A liquid begins to appear on the inside of a closed flask. At first glance before the liquid began to appear, you might have thought the flask was empty. (You can consider this a phase change.)....(a,e,h)

Explanation:

Now it is necessary here to state the equation for ∆G

∆G= ∆H-T∆S

The values of ∆G depends on the relative values of ∆H, T and ∆S.

When heat is evolved by a system, ∆H is negative, when heat is absorbed by a system, ∆H is positive.

When gases are evolved, ∆S is positive, when gases turn to liquids or solids ∆S is negative.

Let us also recall that, for the melting process ∆S positive ( solid changes to liquid), ∆H is positive(energy is absorbed) and T increases( the substance is heated). Hence ∆G is negative

For the condensation process; ∆H is negative (heat is evolved), ∆S is negative (gas changes to liquid) and T is decreased hence ∆G is positive.

An oxygen atom has a mass of and a glass of water has a mass of . Use this information to answer the question below. Be sure you
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen atoms having equal mass as  glass of water = 3.12 moles

<em>Note: The given question is missing some figures. Here is a complete similar question below.</em>

<em>An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66*10^-23 g and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050 kg. What is the mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms? Round your answer to 3 significant digits. How many moles of oxygen atoms have a mass equal to the mass of a glass of water? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.</em>

Explanation:

A mole of a substance contains the Avogadro number of particles = 6.02 * 10²³

Therefore a mole of oxygen atoms contains 6.02*10²³ atoms.

mass of 1 atom of oxygen = 2.66*10⁻²³ g

Mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms = mass of 1 atom * number of atoms in 1 mole

Mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms = 2.66*10⁻²³ g * 6.02*10²³  = 16. 01 g

Mass of a glass of water = 0.050 Kg or 50 g

To determine the number of moles of oxygen atoms that have a mass equal to a glass of water i.e. 50 g, the formula below is used;

<em>number of moles = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of oxygen atoms= 50 g, molar mass or mass of one mole of oxygen atoms = 16.01 g

Therefore, number of moles of oxygen atoms = 50 g / 16.01 g = 3.12 moles

Which of the following shows an accurate combustion reaction?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

  • <em>Cu + O₂  → CuO₂</em>

Explanation:

A <em>combustion reaction</em> is the reaction with oxygen along with the release of energy in form of heat or light.

Organic compounds (like CH₄) undergo combustion forming water and CO₂.

The combustion reaction of CH₄ is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Hence, the first equation from the choices is not showing the combustion reaction of CH₄.

Not only organic compounds can undergo combustion. Metals and no metals can undergo combustion, i.e. metals and no metals can react with oxygen releasing light or heat.

The reaction of copper and oxygen (second choice) is a combustion reaction:

  • <em>Cu + O₂ → CuO₂</em>

The formation of water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O) is other example of a combustion reaction where no organic compounds are involved.

On the other hand, the other two equations from the choice list are not reactions with oxygen, so they do not show combustion reactions.
