You find a little bit (0.150g) of a chemical marked Tri-Nitro-Toluene, and upon combusting it in oxygen, collect 0.204 g of CO2

and 0.030 g H2O (we’ll assume that these are the products, along with nitrogen). You know that TNT is made up solely of C, H, O, and N, and that it contains 18.5% nitrogen by mass.

1) Answer is: the formula is C₇N₃O₆H₅.

M(TNT) = 0.150 g; mass of the trinitrotoluene.

ω(N) = 18.5% ÷ 100%.

ω(N) = 0.185; mass percentage of the nitrogen.

m(N) = 0.150 g · 0.185.

m(N) = 0.02775 ·; mass of the nitrogen.

n(N) = 0.02775 g ÷ 14 g/mol.

n(N) = 0.002 mol; amount of the nitrogen.

n(CO₂) = 0.204 g ÷ 44 g/mol.

n(CO₂) = 0.0046 mol.

n(C) = n(CO₂) = 0.0046 mol; amount of the carbon.

m(C) = 0.0046 mol · 12 g/mol.

m(C) = 0.0552 g; mass of the carbon.

n(H₂O) = 0.030 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 0.00166 mol.

n(H) = 2 · n(H₂O) = 0.0033 mol; amount of the hydrogen.

m(H) = 0.0033 mol · 1 g/mol.

m(H) = 0.0033 g; mass of the hydrogen.

2) m(O) = m(TNT) - m(N) - m(C) - m(H).

m(O) = 0.150 g - 0.02775 g - 0.0552 g - 0.0033 g.

m(O) = 0.06375 g.

n(O) = 0.06375 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 0.004 mol; amount of oxygen.

n(C) : n(N) : n(O) : n(H) = 0.0046 mol : 0.002 mol : 0.004 mol : 0.0033 mol.

n(C) : n(N) : n(O) : n(H) = 2.33 : 1 : 2 : 1.66 /×3.

n(C) : n(N) : n(O) : n(H) = 7 : 3 : 6 : 5.

Consider the two facts below:

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water.

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases.

Explanation:

Conclusion that can be drawn from the two facts stated above:

*Dissolved oxygen is essential nutrient for fish survival in their aquatic habitat.

*Dissolved oxygen would decrease as the temperature of aquatic habit rises, and vice versa.

*Fishes, therefore, would thrive best in colder waters than warmer waters.

The following are scenarios that can be explained by the facts given and conclusions arrived:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water (solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature)

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases (fishes will thrive best in colder waters where dissolved oxygen is readily available).

On the basis of chemical structure, which solid will most easily conduct electricity?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

The electrical conductivity depends mainly on the type of chemical bonds between the atoms of a compound.

In the case of MgF2, FeCl3 and FeO3, these have the type of ionic bond. This means that in the atoms of the compound there is an electron transfer, to keep eight electrons in the outermost layer and thus resemble the electronic configuration of the inert gas closest to each of the two elements, due to this ions of opposite charges are formed that are held together by electrostatic forces. These types of compounds are good conductors of electricity, however, to have this property, they must be dissolved in water or molten.

In the case of Fe, however, the type of union between atoms is metallic. In this type of junction, valence electrons are quite free inside the metal, which makes it easy for them to move. For this reason, this compound will conduct electricity in a solid state.

Gallium is produced by the electrolysis of a solution made by dissolving gallium oxide in concentrated NaOH(aq). Calculate the a

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$m_{Ga}=0.550gGa$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the applied current for the 50.0 mins provides the following charge to the system:

$q=0.760\frac{C}{s}*50.0min*\frac{60s}{1min}=2,280C$

As 1 mole of electrons carries a charge of 1 faraday, or 96,485 coulombs, we can compute the moles of electrons involved during the reduction:

$n_{e^-}=2,280C*\frac{1mole^-}{96,485C}=0.0236mole^-$

Then the reduction of Ga³⁺ to Ga involves the transference of three electrons, we are able to compute the moles and therefore the mass of deposited gallium:

$m_{Ga}=0.0236mole^-*\frac{1molGa}{3mole^-}*\frac{69.72gGa}{1molGa} \\\\m_{Ga}=0.550gGa$

Best regards!

A food product is being frozen in a system capable of removing 6000 kJ of thermal energy. The product has a specifi c heat of 4

lapo4ka [179]

Answer : The exit temperature of the product is, $-35.2^oC$

Explanation :

Total heat = Heat lost by liquid + Latent heat of fusion + Heat lost by frozen

$Q=m\times c_1\times (T_2-T_1)+m\times L_f+m\times c_2\times (T_4-T_3)$

where,

Q = Total heat = 6000 kJ

m = mass of product = 15 kg

$c_1$ = specific heat of liquid = $4kJ/kg^oC$

$L_f$ = latent heat of fusion = $275kJ/kg$

$c_2$ = specific heat of frozen = $2.5kJ/kg^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of liquid = $2^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature of liquid = $10^oC$

$T_3$ = initial temperature of frozen = ?

$T_4$ = final temperature of frozen = $2^oC$

Now put all the given value in the above expression, we get:

$6000kJ=[15kg\times 4kJ/kg^oC\times (10-2)^oC]+[15kg\times 275kJ/kg]+[15kg\times 2.5kJ/kg^oC\times (2-T_3)^oC]$

$T_3=-35.2^oC$

Thus, the exit temperature of the product is, $-35.2^oC$
