The complete question is given below:

Two students are given different samples of a substance and are instructed to determine the properties of the substance.

Which statement describes a property that will be the same for both students?

A. color because it is an extensive property

B. mass because it is an extensive property

C. boiling point because it is an intensive property

D. volume because it is an intensive property .

ANSWER

The correct option is C.

The physical properties of substances are divided into two, intensive and extensive properties.

Intensive properties refers to those features of a substance that do not depend on the quantity of the material that is available. Whether the sample available is big or small, the intensive properties remain the same. Examples of intensive properties are: melting point, boiling point, refractive index, hardness, density color, etc. This question is asking us to look for an intensive property.

Extensive properties refers to those characteristics of a substance that depend on the amount of substance present. Examples of these properties are: mass, volume, size, weight, length, etc.

From the options given, option A is wrong because color is not an extensive property, it is intensive. Option B is wrong because the mass depend on the amount of sample given and the same thing apply to option D.

The correct option is C, because no matter the quantity of that substance that you have, the boiling point will always remains the same.

A 25.0-g sample of ice at -6.5oC is removed from the freezer and allowed to warm until it melts. Given the data below, select al

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

B, D

Explanation:

The strategy here is to realize that the ice will be taken from -6.5 ºC to OºC where it will melt.

Lets call q₁ the heat required to bring the ice to 0ºc, q₂ the heat required to bring the phase change from solid to liquid.

q₁ is calculated from the expression

q₁ = s x m x ΔT where m is the mass, s the specific heat of ice ( 2.09 J/gºC ) and ΔT the change in temperature.

q₂ the fusion enthalpy change is calculated from the expression:

q₂ = C x ΔT

where C is the specific heat for the phase change , in this case named AH given in kJ/mol.

We are given all the data needed to calculate q₁, q₂ and qtotal ( q₁ + q₂ )

q₁ = 25.0 g x ( 2.09 J/gºC) x ( 0 - ( -6.5 ºC ) )

q₁ = 339.6 J = 0.339 kJ

q₂ = (25 g/ 18 g/mol) x 6.02 kJ/mol = 1.39 x 6.02 kJ = 8.36 kJ

qtotal = 0.339 kJ + 8.36 kJ = 8.70 kJ

with these calculations, we can now proceed to answer the question:

(a) False AH is theheat capacity for the melting.

(b) True as we determined above

(d) True as calculated above

(e) False as determined in our calculations

Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

A) 10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion .

B) 7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C) It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Explanation:

A) Mass of arsenic in lake water sample = 164.5 ng

The ppb is the amount of solute (in micrograms) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppb}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^9$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of arsenic = 164.5 ng = $164.5\times 10^{-9} g$

$1 ng=10^{-9} g$

Volume of the sample = V = $15.3 cm^3$

Density of the lake water sample ,d= $1.00 g/cm^3$

Mass of sample = M = $d\times V=1.0 g/cm^3\times 15.3 cm^3=15.3 g$

$ppb=\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3 g}\times 10^9=10.75$

10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion.

Mass of arsenic in $1 cm^3$ of lake water = $\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3}=1.075\times 10^{-8} g$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710 km^3$ lake water be m.

$1 km^3=10^{15} cm^3$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710\times 10^{15} cm^3$ lake water :

$m=0.710\times 10^{15}\times 1.075\times 10^{-8} g=7,633,660.130 g$

1 g = 0.001 kg

7,633,660.130 g = 7,633,660.130 × 0.001 kg=7,633.660130 kg ≈ 7,633.66 kg

7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

$\frac{2.74}{41.90} days$

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

$=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days$

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = $\frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years$

It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

If 3.18 x 10^23 atoms of iron react with 67.2 L of chlorine gas at STP, what is the maximum

spin [16.1K]

84.34 grams of grams of iron (III) chloride that can be produced is maximum because Fe is the limiting reagent in this reaction and chlorine gas is excess reagent.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation:

2 Fe + 3 Cl2 → 2 FeCl3

DATA GIVEN:

iron = atoms

mass of chlorine gas = 67.2 liters

mass of FeCl3 = ?

number of moles of iron will be calculated as

number of moles = $\frac{total number of atoms}{Avagaro's number}$
