A scientist discovers a deep bowl-like divot under the ocean off the coast of eastern Mexico that is many kilometers across. The

layers of the ground all around the continent from around the time that structure formed contain large amounts of iridium and a larger number of fossils than is normally found. What most likely caused the bowl-like structure?

Combustion of hydrogen releases 142 j/g of hydrogen reacted. How many kj of energy are released by the combustion of 16.0 oz of
Andrej [43]

Given the mass of hydrogen = 16.0 oz

Converting 16.0 oz hydrogen to pounds (lb) using the conversion factor 1 lb = 16 oz:

16.0 oz * \frac{1 lb}{16 oz} =1 lb

Converting 16.0 lb to g using the conversion factors 1 kg = 2.2 lb, 1 kg = 1000 g:

1lb * \frac{1kg}{2.2lb}*\frac{1000g}{1kg}= 454.5 g

Heat of combustion of hydrogen = 142 J/g

Calculating the heat released when 16.0 oz is combusted:

454.5g H_{2} * \frac{142 J}{g} *\frac{1 kJ}{1000J}=64.5kJ

An air sample consists of oxygen and nitrogen gas as major components. It also contains carbon dioxide and traces of some rare g
jekas [21]

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as the substance that contains two or more different number of substances that are physically mixed together.

For example, a mixture of air which contains oxygen, nitrogen and other gases.

A mixture in which solute particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as the mixture in which solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent.

A homogeneous mixture is a clear solution.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

A solution is defined as the substance in which two or more substances are mixed together.

A compound is defined as the substance that contains two or more different elements that chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

A element is defined as the substance that contains only one type of atoms.

For example, a piece of sodium element will contain only atoms of sodium.

Whereas a pure substance is defined as the substance which contains only one type of molecule or one type of atom.

For example, O_{2}, N_{2} etc are pure substances.

Thus, we can conclude that the terms which could be used to describe the given sample of air is as follows.

  • pure chemical substance.
  • heterogenous mixture.
  • mixture.

A 0.15 m solution of chloroacetic acid has a ph of 1.86. What is the value of ka for this acid?
dem82 [27]

Answer: 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+

   cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Given:  c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

K_a = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also pH=-log[H^+]

1.86=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.01

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

0.01=0.15\times \alpha

\alpha=0.06

As [H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01

K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}

K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]

Thus the vale of K_a for the acid is 1.67\times 10^{-3}

A sample of a compound of Cl and O reacts with an excess of H2 to give 0.233g of HCl and 0.403g of H2O. Determine the empirical
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Cl₂O₇

Explanation:

For the reaction:

ClₓOₙ + H₂ → HCl + H₂O

Moles of HCl and moles of H₂O are:

HCl: 0.233g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 6.39x10⁻³ mol HCl

H₂O: 0.403g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.02g) = 2.236x10⁻² mol H₂O

As you can see, moles of HCl are equivalent to moles of Cl in the compound and moles of H₂O are equivalent to moles of O in the compound, that means:

6.39x10⁻³ mol Cl

2.236x10⁻² mol O

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. If Cl is <em>1</em>, Oxygen will be:

2.236x10⁻² mol / 6.39x10⁻³ = <em>3.5</em>

As empirical formula must be given in natural numbers, the empirical formula is:

<em>Cl₂O₇</em>

<em></em>

Roundup, an herbicide manufactured by Monsanto, has the formula C3H8NO5P. How many moles of molecules are there in a 669.1-g sam
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.4 ×10^24 molecules of the herbicide.

Explanation:

We must first obtain the molar mass of the compound as follows;

C3H8NO5P= [3(12) + 8(1) + 14 +5(16) +31] = [36 + 8 + 14 + 80 + 31]= 169 gmol-1

We know that one mole of a compound contains the Avogadro's number of molecules.

Hence;

169 g of the herbicide contains 6.02×10^23 molecules

Therefore 669.1 g of the herbicide contains 669.1 × 6.02×10^23/ 169 = 2.4 ×10^24 molecules of the herbicide.
