A student is told that both energy and mass must be conserved in every chemical reaction. She measures the mass of Hydrochloric

acid and a zinc strip separately. She then places the zinc strip into the acid and bubbles form as the zinc looks like it disappears. The combined mass afterward is less than the original. Which of these can explain this result? A) The student must have not measured the mass correctly. B) The zinc disappears and therefore the mass is less after the reaction. C) This is not a chemical reaction so the conservation laws do not apply. D) The bubbles indicate that a gas is created and mass is loss as it escapes from the container.

Hello!

The statement that can explain the result is <span>The bubbles indicate that a gas is created and mass is lost as it escapes from the container.

The reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and a Zinc Strip is the following one:

2HCl (aq) + Zn (s)</span>→<span> ZnCl</span>₂<span>(aq) + H</span>₂(g)
<span>
The bubbles that the student sees are caused by the Hydrogen gas that is being formed in the reaction. If the container isn't hermetically sealed, the gas will escape the solution and the final mass will be lower than the original. However, if the container is sealed, measuring the final mass will prove the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Have a nice day!</span>

A laboratory utilizes a mixture of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the freezing and long-term storage of embryonic stem cells.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is "1.0100".

Explanation:

Let the volume of mixture be 100 ml.

then,

The volume of DMSO will be 10 mL as well as that of water will be 90 mL.

DMSO will be:

= 10\times 1.1004

= 11.004 \ g

The total mass of mixture will be:

= 90+11.004

= 101.004 \ g

Density of mixture will be:

= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

= \frac{101.004}{100}

= 1.01004 \ g/mL

hence,

Specific gravity of mixture will be:

= \frac{Density \ of \ mixture}{Density \ of \ water}

= \frac{1.01004}{1}

= 1.0100

A solution is made by dissolving 58.125 g of sample of an unknown, nonelectrolyte compound in water. The mass of the solution is
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol

Explanation:

mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g

mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent

∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound

∴ solvent (a): water

⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)

boiling point:

  • ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K

∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol

⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)

⇒ mb = ΔT / K

⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)

⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg

∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg

moles solute:

⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute

molecular weight:

⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol

Which of the following statements concerning a metal crystallized in a face-centered cubic cell is/are CORRECT? 1. One metal ato
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Only 3 is correct.

Explanation:

The crystal of a metal or an ionic compound is called a cell, and there are 7 types of unit cells: cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, and triclinic.

In a face-centered cubic cell (FCC) all angles are 90º and all lengths are equal. Each cubic cell has 8 atoms in each corner of the cube, and that atom is shared with 8 neighboring cells. So for a metal crystal, the atom is located at each of the eight lattice points, where it is shared equally between eight unit cells.

A 85.2 g copper bar was heated to 221.32 degrees Celsius and placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 4250 mL of water at 2
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:- 64015 J

Solution: There is 4250 mL of water in the calorimeter at 22.55 degree C.

density of water is 1 g per mL.

So, the mass of water = 4250mL(\frac{1g}{1mL})  = 4250 g

Final temperature of water after adding the hot copper bar to it is 26.15 degree C.

So, \Delta T for water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.60 degree C

Specific heat for water is 4.184 \frac{J}{g.^0C}

The heat gained by water is calculated by using the formula:

q=mc\Delta T

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass and c is specific heat.

Let's plug in the values in the formula and do the calculations:

q=4250g*\frac{4.184J}{g.^0C}*3.60^0C

q = 64015 J

So, 64015 J of heat is gained by the water.
