The more numbers after the decimal point there are, the more precise the instrument which recorded it is. For example, if one instrument during seismic activity records that the magnitude of the earthquake was 2.3, and another instrument recorded that it was 2.3645, the second instrument would have shown to be more precise.

Ierofanga [76]
FeSO₄*7H₂O(s) = FeSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=278.0 g/mol
M(FeSO₄)=151.9 g/mol

m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=m(FeSO₄)/M(FeSO₄)

m(FeSO₄)=M(FeSO₄)m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)

m(FeSO₄)=151.9*100.0/278.0=54.6 g

m(FeSO₄)=54.6 g

A mixture of N2, O2, and Ar has mole fractions of 0.25, 0.65, and 0.10, respectively. What is the pressure of N2 if the total pr
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas is 0.98 bar.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the mixture of gases.

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{Ar}

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}

p_{O_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}

p_{Ar}=P\times \chi_{Ar}

where,

P = total pressure = 3.9 bar

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen gas  

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen gas  

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon gases  

\chi_{N_2} = Mole fraction of nitrogen gas  = 0.25

\chi_{O_2} = Mole fraction of oxygen gas  = 0.65

\chi_{Ar} = Mole fraction of argon gases = 0.10

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.25 =0.98 bar

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.65=2.54 bar

Partial pressure of argon gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{Ar}=3.9 bar\times 0.10=0.39 bar

An ice cube measuring 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm has a density of 0.917 g/mL What is the mass?
OLga [1]

Answer: 178.9 g

Explanation:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume in mL}

find volume of the cube: (5.80 cm) (5.80 cm) (5.80cm) = 195.112 cm³

1.0 cm³ = 1.0 mL

so 195.112 cm³ = 195.112 mL

plug value into density equation:

0.917 g/mL = (mass) / (195.112 mL)

and solve for mass!

What two-step process separated the cans into aluminum, steel, and tin?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Magnet

Durability and heaviness.(texture)

Explanation:

Magnet can be use to separate Aluminum from mixture of steel and aluminum.

Though aluminum and steel look alike but magnet can be use to separate it.

If the can attract the magnet or magnet stick to the can, it is a steel can. Aluminum does not stick to magnet.

A mixture of Aluminum and tin can also be separated by magnet.

Tin attract magnet but tin is more durable, heavy and does not corrode easily.

When u touch the three cans, tin is heavy and durable.
