What is the difference between calories and kilocalories? The "calorie" we refer to in food is actually kilocalorie. One (1) kilocalorie is the same as one (1) Calorie (upper case C). A kilocalorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

How many moles of BCl3 are needed to produce 10.0 g of HCl(aq) in the following reaction? (HCl molar mass is 36.46 g/mol).
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Moles of BCl₃ needed = 0.089 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of BCl₃ needed = ?

Mass of HCl produced = 10.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

BCl₃ + 3H₂O  →     3HCl + B(OH)₃

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g/ 36.46 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.27 mol

Now we will compare the moles of HCl with BCl₃.

               HCl             :           BCl₃

                 3               :             1

             0.27             :            1/3×0.27 = 0.089 mol

Explain why neither the oil nor the glass fiber interferes with the diffraction pattern of the crystal.
SVEN [57.7K]
<span>It's because The oil and the glass fibers do not interfere with X-ray crystallographic measurements because only one is crystalline.

A chamber with a fixed volume is shown above. The temperature of the gas inside the chamber before heating is 25.2 C and it’s pr
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial temperature T₁  = 25.2°C  = 25.2 + 273  = 298.2K

Initial pressure  = P₁  = 0.6atm

Final temperature = 72.4°C   = 72.4 + 273  = 345.4K

Unknown:

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use an adaption of the combined gas law where the volume gas is fixed. This simplification results into:

                  \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

where P and T are temperatures, 1 and 2 are initial and final temperatures.

 Input the parameters and solve;

          \frac{0.6}{298.2}   = \frac{P_{2} }{345.4}  

          P₂   = 0.7atm

a 16.0g sample of iron was heated from 0 degrees Celsius o 35.0 degrees Celsius.the iron absorbed 246.4J of energy as heat. what
frosja888 [35]
Specific heat means the amount heat needed when unit mass of a substrate increase one degree of temperature. So the specific heat = the heat absorbed/(the mass of the substrate * change in temperature) = 264.4/(16*35)=0.472 J/(g*℃)

An unknown compound melting at 131 - 133 C. It is thought to be one of the following compounds: trans-cinnamic acid (133-134); b
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

benzamide

Explanation:

Compound            melting Point ,ºC          Melting Pont Mixture, ºC

       X                          131 - 133

trans-cinnamic            133 - 134                      110 - 120

acid

benzamide                 128 - 130                       130-132

malic acid                   131   -133                        114 -124

Benzoin                      135 - 137                        108 - 116

The compound X is benzamide since the melting point range is the one closest to this compound (  130-132 ºC)

The reason there is not an exact match is not due due to the presence of impurities. The presence of impurities always lower the melting point ( it is a coligative property such as the melting point depresion of salt and water )

The reason for the deviation must be  be some other factors such as preparation of the sample in the capillary, errors in reading the thermometer, rate of heating, etc.
