Reading a Periodic TableUsing Dimensional AnalysisExplanation:

Step 1: Define

30 g SiO₂ (sand)

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Si - 28.09 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SiO₂ - 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Set up:                                [tex]\displaystyle 30 \ g \ SiO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.09 \ g \ SiO_2})[/tex]Multiply/Divide:                  [tex]\displaystyle 0.499251 \ mol \ SiO_2[/tex]

Step 4: Check

Follow sig figs and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

0.499251 mol SiO₂ ≈ 0.50 mol SiO₂

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 0.5 \ moles \ of \ SiO_2}}[/tex]

Explanation:

To convert from grams to moles, we must use the molar mass.

1. Molar Mass

Use the Periodic Table to find the masses of the individual elements (silicon and oxygen) in sand.

Silicon (Si): 28.085 g/mol Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mol

Examine the formula for sand: SiO₂. There is a subscript of 2 after oxygen, so there must be 2 oxygen atoms. Multiply oxygen's mass by 2 and add silicon's mass to find the molar mass of sand.

SiO₂: 2(15.999 g/mol) + 28.085 g/mol= g/mol

2. Calculate Moles

Use the molar mass as ratio.

[tex]\frac{60.083 \ g \ SiO_2}{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}[/tex]

Multiply by the given number of grams (30)

[tex]30 \ g \ SiO_2 * \frac{60.083 \ g \ SiO_2}{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}[/tex]

Flip the fraction so the grams of sand will cancel.

[tex]30 \ g \ SiO_2 *\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.083 \ g \ SiO_2}[/tex]

[tex]30 *\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.083 }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{30 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.083 }[/tex]

[tex]0.499309289 \ mol \ SiO_2[/tex]

3. Round

The original measurement of grams has 1 signfiicant figure. We must round our answer to 1 sig fig.

For the answer we found, that is the tenth place. The 9 in the hundredth tells us to round the 4 to a 5.

[tex]\approx 0.5 \ mol \ SiO_2[/tex]

There are about 0.5 moles of SiO₂ in 30 grams.

1) How much heat does 23.0 g of water absorb as its temperature increases from 25.4 °C to 42.8 °C?

2) A sample of unknown metal has a mass of 120.7 g. As the sample cools from 90.5 °C to 25.7 °C, it releases 7020 J of energy. What is the specific heat of the sample?

Answers

Answer:

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Explanation:

1) Given data:

Mass of water = 23.0 g

Initial temperature = 25.4°C

Final temperature = 42.8° C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C

ΔT = 17.4°C

Q = 23.0 g ×  × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C

Q = 1672.84 j

2) Given data:

Mass of metal = 120.7 g

Initial temperature = 90.5°C

Final temperature = 25.7 ° C

Heat released = 7020 J

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 25.7°C - 90.5°C

ΔT = -64.8°C

7020 J = 120.7 g ×  c ×  -64.8°C

7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C ×  c

c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Negative sign shows heat is released.

helppppppp (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞​

Answers

a. t = 4.33 s

b. R = 53.04 m

c. H = 22.97 m

Further explanation

Given

vo=initial velocity=24.5 m/s

Angle = θ = 60°

Required

(a) time of flight, (b) range, and (c) maximum height.

Solution

Parabolic motion

a. time to flight

t = (2vo sin θ) / g

t = (2 x 24.5 x sin 60) / 9.8

t = 4.33 s

b. range (horizontal range) :

R = (vo² sin2θ )/g

R =(24.5² sin 120)/9.8

R = 53.04 m

c. maximum height

H = (vo²sin²θ)/2g

H = (24.5²sin²60)/2.9.8

H = 22.97 m

Balance the Chemical Equations

Rb + RbNO3---> Rb2O + N2

please help me

Answers

Answer:

10Rb° + 2RbNO₃  =>  6Rb₂O + N₂

Explanation:

Given:   Rb° + RbNO₃ => Rb₂O + N₂

=> 1st balance rubidium in RbNO₃ against Rb₂O  by inserting a '2' coefficient before RbNO₃ and a '6' coefficient  before Rb₂O

=> Rb° + 2RbNO₃  =>  6Rb₂O + N₂   => Oxygen and Nitrogen are balanced. All that remains is balancing Rb by inserting a '10' coefficient.

=>  10Rb° + 2RbNO₃  =>  6Rb₂O + N₂

Note: In balancing chemical equations, saving an element that is not part of a compound until last frequently gives balance by inspecting the number of elements of the specific kind and boosting its coefficient to balance the equation.  

Balanced equation =>  10Rb° + 2RbNO₃  =>  6Rb₂O + N₂

The balanced chemical reaction can be of the equation given is [tex]2Rb + RbNO_3 - > Rb_2O + N_2[/tex].

We need to make sure that the amount of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation in order to balance the chemical equation [tex]Rb + RbNO_3- > Rb_2O + N_2[/tex].

By counting the atoms in each element, we may begin to balance the equation. We have one Rb, one Rb, one N, and three O atoms on the left side. We have two Rb, one N, and two O atoms on the right side.

We can add a coefficient of 2 in front of [tex]RbNO_3[/tex] to balance the Rb atoms, which gives us:

[tex]2Rb + RbNO_3 - > Rb_2O + N_2[/tex]

Thus, now, the equation is balanced with two Rb atoms on both sides.

If we react 5.4g of sodium chloride with an unknown amount of fluorine gas, we produce 4.9g of sodium fluoride and 3.7g chlorine gas. How much fluorine was consumed in the reaction?

Answers

Answer:

4.43 g

Explanation:

The reaction between sodium chloride and flourine gas is given as;

NaCl + F2 --> NaF + Cl2

From the stochiometry of the equation;

1 mol of NaCl reacts eith 1 mol of F2 to form 1 mol of NaF and Cl2

Mass of 1 mol of F2 = 38g

Mass of 1 mol of sodium flouride, NaF = 42g

This means 38g of flourine reacted with NaCl to form 42g of NaF

xg of F2 would form 4.9g of NaF

38 = 42

x = 4.9

x = 4.9 * 38 / 42

x = 4.43 g
