Answer:- 38.2 g.

Solution:- The equation used for solving this type of calorimetry problems is:

q=mc\Delta T

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and delta T is the change in temperature.

Water temperature is increasing from 14.5 degree C to 50.0 degree C.

\Delta T=50.0-14.5  = 35.5 degree C

q is given as 5680 J and specific heat value is 4.186\frac{J}{g.^0C} .

The equation could be rearranged for m as:

m=\frac{q}{c*\Delta T}

Let's plug in the values in it:

m=\frac{5680}{4.186*35.5}

m = 38.2 g

So, the mass of water in the kettle is 38.2 g.

As Jesse's hybrid accelerates to pass a car on the highway, he notices that his gas mileage drops from 40 miles per gallon to 15
e-lub [12.9K]
The most likely explanation for this observation is C. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.

When cruising, hybrid cars are able to employ electrical energy to drive the car. Moreover, even if a vehicle is not a hybrid, a greater amount of fuel is consumed when one accelerates because the vehicle has to generate a force larger than the force of air resistance in order for it to accelerate. This increased demand of force reduces the vehicle's fuel economy.

How would each of the following procedural errors affect the results to be expected in this experiment? Give your reasoning in e
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a) if the liquid is not vaporized completely, then the condensed vapor in the flask contains the air which is initially occupied before the liquid is heated. When calculating the molar mass of the vapor the moles of air which are initially present are not excluded, so that the molar mass of the vapor would be an increase in value.

b) While weighing the condensed vapor, the flask should be dried. If the weighing flask is not dried then the water which is layered on the surface of the flask is also added to the mass of the vapor. Therefore, the mass of the vapor that is calculated would be increase.

c) When condensing the vapor, the stopper should not be removed from the flask, because the vapor will escape from the flask and a small amount of vapor will condense in the flask. Therefore, the mass of the condensed vapor would be In small value.

d) If all the liquid is vaporized, when the flask is removed before the vapor had reached the temperature of boiling water, then the boiling

temperature of that liquid would be lower than that of the boiling temperature of the water.Therefore, the liquid may have more volatility.

A sample of cacl2⋅2h2o/k2c2o4⋅h2o solid salt mixture is dissolved in ~150 ml de-ionized h2o. the oven dried precipitate has a ma
Paraphin [41]

We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:

cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) + k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) ---> cac2o4⋅h2o(s) + 2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)

We known that the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is molar mass of cac2o4 plus the molar mass of h2o.

molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10 + 18 = 146.10 g /mole

moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Looking at the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is 1:1, therefore:

moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Converting this to mass:

mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g

 

Therefore:

The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>

Grace [21]

Hello!

If the frequency of a radio station is 88.1 MHz, the wavelength of the wave used by this radio station for its broadcast is 3.403 m

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are going to use the following equation that shows the relation of the frequency of a wave with its wavelength, knowing that radio waves are electromagnetic waves and they travel at the speed of light (299 792 458 m/s):

Wavelength=\frac{Speed_{Light}}{Frequency}= \frac{299 792 458 m/s}{8.81*10^{7} Hz}=3.402865\approx3.403 m

Have a nice day!
