Answer:

B3H5

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter in an closed system is neither created nor destroyed by physical transformations or chemical reactions but changes from one form to the other.

That is, the sum of masses of the reactants = The sum of masses of the product

10.00g of Boron + x grams of Hydrogen = 11.55g of the product

Mass of hydrogen = 11.55 - 10.00 = 1.55g

Molar mass of Boron = 10.811g

Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1.00784g

Number of moles of Boron = (mass of Boron)/(molar mass of Boron) = 10/10.811 = 0.9249 mols

Number of moles of Hydrogen = (mass of Hydrogen)/(molar mass of Hydrogen) = 1.55/1.00784 =1.5379mols

0.9249 mols of Boron combines with 1.5379mols of Hydrogen

Dividing both sides mols by 0.9249 gives

1 mole of Boron combines with 1.66266 mols of Hydrogen

Converting 1.66266 to fractions we have 1.66266 approximately 5/3

or 1 mole of Boron combines with 5/3 moles of Hydrogen

Multiplying both sides by 3 we have

3 moles of Boron combines with 5 moles of Hydrogen

Molecular formula of the compound is

B3H5

Which statement describes the transfer of heat energy that occurs when an ice cube is added to an insulated container with 100 m

ICE Princess25 [194]

<span>The answer to this question would be: (3) The ice cube gains heat energy and the water loses heat energy.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the energy in an isolated system should be constant. If something receives energy, other must be losing energy. The option 1 and 2 definitely false because the total energy is not constant.
In this case, the ice should have lower heat energy, so the ice should be the one who receives energy from the water</span>

How many moles of AgNO3 must react to form 0.854 mol Ag?

kipiarov [429]

The answer:
<span>The equation of its dissolution in water is: AgNO3 → Ag + (aq) + NO3- (aq)

and </span>AgNO3 → Ag + (aq) + NO3- (aq)
1 mol 1mol 1mol
? -------- 0.854mo
so for finding the value, it is sufficients to complute 1 x 0.854 mol =0.854 mol
so, 0.854 mol is required for the reaction to form 0.854 mol of Ag

Answer:

$\Delta S_{source}>-1.204\frac{kJ}{K}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given the initial conditions, we first use the 10-% quality to compute the initial entropy:

$s_1=s_{f,175kPa}+q*s_{fg,175kPa}\\\\s_1=1.4850\frac{kJ}{kg*K} +0.1*5.6865\frac{kJ}{kg*K}=2.0537\frac{kJ}{kg*K}$

Now the entropy at the final state given the new 40-% quality:

$s_2=s_{f,150kPa}+q*s_{fg,150kPa}\\\\s_2=1.4337\frac{kJ}{kg*K} +0.4*5.7894\frac{kJ}{kg*K}=3.7495\frac{kJ}{kg*K}$

Next step is to compute the mass of steam given the specific volume of steam at 175 kPa and the 10% quality:

$m_1=\frac{0.028m^3}{(0.001057+0.1*1.002643)\frac{m^3}{kg} } =0.274kg\\\\m_2=\frac{0.028m^3}{(0.001053+0.4*1.158347)\frac{m^3}{kg} } =0.0603kg$

Then, we can write the entropy balance:

$\Delta S_{source}+\frac{Q}{T_1} -\frac{Q}{T_2} +s_2m_2-s_1m_1-s_{fg}(m_2-m_1)>0$

Whereas sfg stands for the entropy of the leaving steam to hold the pressure at 150 kPa and must be greater than 0; thus we plug in:

Which is such minimum entropy change of the heat-supplying source.

Best regards!
