You are carefully watching the temperature of your melting point apparatus as it is heating up. At 132 C it is still a white sol

id. Your friend asks you a question, after answering you look back at the melting point apparatus and the temperature is 138 C and the solid is fully melted. What do you do?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Since the experiment is set out to determine the melting point of the white solid, after missing the melting point due to distraction, there are two possible solutions and both involves a repeat of the experiment.</em>

1. The first one is to allow the molten substance to solidify again and then repeat the experiment. This time around, a critical attention should be paid to be able to notice the melting point temperature once the temperature gets to 132 C.

2. The second solution would be discard the molten substance and repeat the experiment with the a new solid one. Similarly, critical attention should be paid once the temperature gets to 132 C since it is sure that the melting point lies within 132 and 138 C.

What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction used to calculate ΔH∘f of SrCO3(s)? If fractional coefficients are requi
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Sr(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → SrCO₃(s)

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) is the energy involved in the formation of 1  mole of a substance from its elements in their most stable states. The chemical equation for the formation of SrCO₃(s) is the following.

Sr(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → SrCO₃(s)

How much water(in grams) at its boiling point can be vaporized by adding 1.50 kJ of heat? The molar heat of vaporization for wat
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

0.66g of water

Explanation:

Molar heat of vaporization of any substance is defined as the heat necessary to vaporize 1 mole of the substance.

If heat of vaporization of water is 40.79kJ/mol and you add 1.50kJ, the moles you vaporize are:

1.50kJ × (1mol / 40.79kJ) = 0.0368 moles of water.

As molar mass of water is 18.01g/mol, mass of water that can be vaporized are:

0.0368 moles × (18.01g / mol) = <em>0.66g of water</em>

A compound that is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen contains 70.6% C, 5.9% H, and 23.5% O by mass. The molecular weight
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: The molecular formula will be C_8H_8O_2

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C= 70.6 g

Mass of H = 5.9 g

Mass of O = 23.5 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{70.6g}{12g/mole}=5.9moles

Moles of H =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{5.9g}{1g/mole}=5.9moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{23.5g}{16g/mole}=1.5moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{5.9}{1.5}=4

For H = \frac{5.9}{1.5}=4

For O =\frac{1.5}{1.5}=1

The ratio of C : H: O= 4: 4:1

Hence the empirical formula is C_4H_4O

The empirical weight of C_4H_4O = 4(12)+4(1)+1(16)= 68g.

The molecular weight = 136 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{136}{68}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times C_4H_4O=C_8H_8O_2

Consider a 20.0 % (m/v) solution. how can this be written as a conversion factor?
White raven [17]
A conversion factor is a fraction or a ratio representing a relationship of two different measurement values. To write 20% m/v to a conversion factor, we need to remember that a percent is a value that represents the amount of a part per 100 units of the whole. M/v in the given value represents that the percentage is by mass per volume. So, to write it as a conversion factor, we do as follows:

20% m/v = 20 mass units / 100 volume units = 1 mass units / 5 volume units

Usually units of this are in g per L. So, it is equivalent to 1 g / 5 L

When iron pyrite (FeS2) is heated in air, the process known as "roasting" forms sulfur dioxide and iron(III) oxide. When the equ
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of O2 is 11

Explanation:

Step 1:

The equation for the reaction:

FeS2 + O2 → SO2 + Fe2O3

Step 2:

Balancing the equation. The equation can be balance as follow:

FeS2 + O2 → SO2 + Fe2O3

There are 2 atoms of Fe on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of FeS2 as shown below:

2FeS2 + O2 → SO2 + Fe2O3

There are 4 atoms of S on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of SO2 as shown below:

2FeS2 + O2 → 4SO2 + Fe2O3

Now, there are a total of 11 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atoms on the left side. It can be balance by putting 11/2 in front of O2 as shown below:

2FeS2 + 11/2O2 → 4SO2 + Fe2O3

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction as shown below:

4FeS2 + 11O2 → 8SO2 + 2Fe2O3

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficient of O2 is 11
