aleksA sailor on a trans-Pacific solo voyage notices one day that if he puts of fresh water into a plastic cup weighing , the cu

p floats in the seawater around his boat with the fresh water inside the cup at exactly the same level as the seawater outside the cup (see sketch at right). Calculate the amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and round it to significant digits. You'll need to know that the density of fresh water at the temperature of the sea around the sailor is . You'll also want to remember Archimedes' Principle, that objects float when they displace a mass of water equal to their own mass.

Answer:

40 g

See explaination

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

Explain why c6h5ch2ch2br is not formed during the radical bromination of c6h5ch2ch3. select the single best answer.
gtnhenbr [62]
Hi!

The radical bromination reaction of C₆H₅CH₂CH₃ is performed through a mechanism in which radical reactions are involved. This compound is an alkylbenzene compound, and the carbon that is more reactive towards radical bromination is the carbon bonded to the aromatic ring because in the reaction mechanism the intermediaries are stabilized by resonance in the aromatic ring. 

A terminal substitution will not occur because substitution there will not be stabilized by resonance. The compound that will be formed in this reaction would be:

C₆H₅CH₂CH₃ + Br₂ → C₆H₅CH₂(Br)CH₃ + HBr

An organic acid is composed of carbon (45.45%), hydrogen (6.12%), and oxygen (48.44%). Its molar mass is 132.12 g/mol. Determine
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

C4H8O4

Explanation:

To determine the molecular formula, first, let us obtain the empirical formula. This is illustrated below:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

C = 45.45%

H = 6.12%

O = 48.44%

Divide the above by their molar mass

C = 45.45/12 = 3.7875

H = 6.12/1 = 6.12

O = 48.44/16 = 3.0275

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.7875/3.0275 = 1

H = 6.12/3.0275 = 2

O = 3.0275/3.0275 = 1

The empirical formula is CH2O

The molecular formula is given by [CH2O]n

[CH2O]n = 132.12

[12 + (2x1) + 16]n = 132.12

30n = 132.12

Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 30

n = 132.12/30 = 4

The molecular formula is [CH2O]n = [CH2O]4 = C4H8O4

Calculate the number of grams of xenon in 4.658 g of the compound xenon tetrafluoride.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The mass of xenon in the compound is 2.950 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of XeF4 = 4.658 grams

Molar mass of XeF4 = 207.28 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of XeF4

Moles XeF4 = mass XeF4 / molar mass XeF4

Moles XeF4 = 4.658 grams / 207.28 g/mol

Moles XeF4 = 0.02247 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of xenon

XeF4 → Xe + 4F-

For 1 mol xenon tetrafluoride, we have 1 mol of xenon

For 0.02247 moles XeF4 we have 0.02247 moles Xe

Step 4: Calculate mass of xenon

Mass xenon = moles xenon * molar mass xenon

Mass xenon = 0.02247 moles * 131.29 g/mol

Mass xenon = 2.950 grams

The mass of xenon in the compound is 2.950 grams

After a reaction, a new compound contains 0.73 g Mg and 0.28 g N. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Mg₃N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. Using molecular mass of Mg (24,305g/mol) and mass of nitrogen (14,006g/mol), moles of each element are:

0,73g × (1mol / 24,305g) = 0,03 moles of Mg

0,28g × (1mol / 14,006g) = 0,02 moles of N

Dividing each value in 0,01 to obtain natural numbers:

0,03 moles of Mg / 0,01 = 3

0,02 moles of N / 0,01 = 2.

Thus, empirical formula is: <em>Mg₃N₂</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
