6 small glass beads are found to weigh 9.34 g. The beads are placed in a graduated cylinder filled with ethyl alcohol (density 0

.78 g/mL). The reading of the liquid in the cylinder before the beads were added is 21.5 mL. After the beads sink to the bottom of the alcohol the reading is 24.5 mL. Calculate the density of the beads. Be sure to record your answer with the correct number of significant figures. Did it matter than alcohol rather than water is used in this experiment? Why or why not? Does it matter that this experiment was done with a collection of glass beads rather than a single solid object? Why or why not?

This is just a liquid displacement measurement.

The first thing you need to know is the volume of the beads. The volume must be the difference between the alcohol with the beads and the alcohol without them.
So, 24.5-21.5 is 3 mL.

The density of the beads is the mass divided by the volume.
We know the mass of the beads is 9.34 g and the volume is 3 mL.
So, 9.34/3 is ~<span>3.11333333. Because we're using significant figures, we'll call that
 3.11 g/mL.

It doesn't matter that we used alcohol because all we needed was the volume difference. Likewise, it makes no difference what shape the object(s) is/are because the displacement is the same, then the volume will be the same.

First we have to convert:145 pm = 145 * 10^(-12) m36 cm = 360 mm = 360 * 10^(-3) mn = 360 * 10^(-3) m / 145 * 10^(-12) m = = 360 * 10^(-3) * 10^(12) / 145 = = 2.482758621 * 10^(9) or:2,482,758,621 atoms.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

CO

Explanation:

From Graham's law, time taken to diffuse is directly proportional to the molecular mass of the gases. For two different gases.

t1/t2=√m1/m2

Since gas 1 diffuse 1.25 times as slowly as gas 2 and gas 1 is CO2 with m as 44g

1.25/1=√44/m2

Therefore m2=28g CO

A 8.6 g sample of methane and 15.6 g sample of oxygen react according to the reaction in the video. identify the limiting reacta
GalinKa [24]
Answer:

<span>23.6 g carbon dioxide comes from 8.6 g of CH4 or 10.7 g carbon dioxide comes from 15.6 g O that means the 15.6 g of oxygen is still the limiting reactant because it gets used up and only makes 10.7 g of CO2. </span>

Explanation:

1) Balanced chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

2) mole ratios:
1 mol CH₄ : 2mol O₂ : 1 mol CO₂ : 2 mol H₂O

3) molar masses
CH₄: 16.04 g/mol
O₂: 32.0 g/mol
CO₂: 44.01 g/mol

4) Convert the reactant masses to number of moles, using the formula 

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass


CH₄: 8.6g / 16.04 g/mol = 0.5362 moles
<span />

O₂: 15.6 g / 32.0 g/mol = 0.4875 moles

5) If the whole 0.5632 moles of CH₄ reacted that yields to the same number of moles of CO₂ and that is a mass of:
mass of CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass = 23.60 g of CO₂

Which is what the first part of the answer says.

6) If the whole 0.4875 moles of O₂ reacted that would yield 0.4875 / 2 = 0.24375 moles of CO₂, and that is a mass of:
mass of CO₂ = 0.4875 grams x 44.01 g/mol = 10.7 grams of CO₂.

Which is what the second part of the answer says.

7) From the mole ratio you know infere that 0.5362 moles of CH₄ needs more twice number of moles of O₂, that is 1.0724 moles of O₂, and since there are only 0.4875 moles of O₂, this is the limiting reactant.

Which is what the chosen answer says.

8) From the mole ratios 0.4875 moles of O₂ produce 0.4875 / 2 moles of CO₂, and that is:
0.4875 / 2 mols x 44.01 g/mol = 10.7 g of CO₂, which is the last part of the answer.
