Answers

Answer:

2.

63.9 cm2

Explanation:

All non-zero digits are consider significant figures like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Leading zeros are not consider as a significant figures. e.g. 0.06 in this number only one significant figure present which is 6.

Zero between the non zero digits are consider significant like 108 consist of three significant figures.

The zeros at the right side e.g 240000 are also significant. There are six significant figures are present.

When we add or subtract the values the number of significant figures after decimal in result must be equal to the given measurement having less number of decimal places.  For example,

The difference between 7.69 and 4.0.

7.69 - 4.0 = 3.7

When we multiply or divide the values the number of significant figures must be equal to the less number of significant figures in given value.

For example in given q:

52.6 cm × 1.214 cm = 63.9 cm²

Consider a 5.430 g mixture of FeO and Fe3O4. You react this mixture with excess of oxygen to form 5.779 g Fe2O3. Calculate the percent mass of FeO in the original mixture.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A 5.430 g mixture of FeO and Fe3O4 is reacted with excess of oxygen to form 5.779 g Fe2O3. Find the masses of FeO and Fe3O4 present in the mixture.

I found the answer by doing the following:

Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol

FeO = 71.745 g/mol

Fe3O4 = 231.535 g/mol

5.779 g Fe2O3 / 159.69 g/mol = 0.03619 mol Fe2O3

x + y :rarrow: 0.03619 mol Fe2O3, where x = FeO and y = Fe3O4.

This implies that y = 0.03619 - x.

5.430 g = x*71.745 g/mol + (0.03619 - x)*231.535g/mol

x = 0.01846 mol * 71.745 g/mol = 1.324 g FeO

y = 0.03619 - 0.01846 = 0.01773 mol * 231.535 g/mol = 4.105 g Fe3O4

My question is why doesn't the following work:

4FeO + O2 :rarrow: 2Fe2O3

4Fe3O4 + O2  :rarrow: 6Fe2O3

_______________________

2FeO + 2Fe3O4 + O2 :rarrow: 4Fe2O3

5.779 g Fe2O3 / 159.69 g/mol = 0.03619 mol Fe2O3

Product:reactants in question are in a 2:1 ratio as given by the stoichiometric coefficients.

0.03619 mol / 2 = 0.01810 mol of FeO and 0.01810 mol Fe3O4.

0.01810 mol FeO * 71.745 g/mol = 1.299 g FeO

0.01810 mol Fe3O4 * 231.535 g/mol = 4.191 g Fe3O4

Obviously this doesn't work because the original mixture is 5.430 g and not 1.299 g + 4.191 g = 5.490 g. Why doesn't this work the way I think it should? Thank you.

Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in the appearance of the green

Answers

Answer:

This strange green slime is a colonization of fungi caused by the humidity of the bathrooms, which to be eradicated requires a non-specific antimicrobial such as sodium hypochlorite that generates an osmotic imbalance producing a fungicidal effect.

Explanation:

The fungi that appear in the form of slime at the microscopic level have many forms of colonization, by adding coconut milk it was assumed that this would generate an environment not suitable for their metabolism and reproduction but this did not happen, therefore they continued their reproduction.

Hope this helps!

The one that is not a name given for the four outer planets terrestrial planets. The correct option is 3.

What are Terrestrial planets?

The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are referred to as terrestrial because their surfaces are compact and rocky, similar to Earth's terra firma. The terrestrial planets are the solar system's four innermost planets.

A terrestrial planet, telluric planet, or rocky planet is one that is primarily composed of silicate rocks or metals.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the inner planets in the Solar System that are closest to the Sun and are classified as terrestrial planets by the International Astronomical Union.

Astronomers who use the geophysical definition of a planet may consider two or three planetary-mass satellites, including the Earth's Moon, Io, and occasionally Europa, as terrestrial planets, along with the rocky protoplanet-asteroids Pallas and Vesta.

Thus, the correct option is 3.

Describe what will happen to the pressure of the gas as the plunger is pushed in.

Answers

Answer:

The pressure of gas will increase.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Boyle's Law." According to this law, provided that the temperature and amount of gas are stable, the absolute pressure of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

In this sense, if the plunger will be pushed in, the volume of the gas will definitely decrease due to lack of space while the pressure will increase because the molecules of the gas are colliding with each other. The greater the collision, the greater the pressure. This explains the answer above.

The heat required to raise the temperature of 12g of water from 16 C to 21 C is:
a) 60 J
b) 60 cal
c) 50 cal
d) 50 J

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

b) 60 cal

Explanation:

The mass of the given water, m = 12 g

The initial temperature of he given water = 16°C

The final temperature of the given water = 21°C

The specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.184 J/(g·°C) = 1 cal/(g·°C)

The amount of heat, ΔQ, required = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Change in temperature

ΔQ = 12 × 4.184 × (21 - 16) = 251.04 J

Similarly, we have;

ΔQ = 12 g × 1 cal/(g·°C) × (21 - 16)°C = 60 cal

The amount of heat required = 60 cal.

Answer:

The experimental plan is to measure the values of the dependent variable, which is the temperature of the pizza after it is cooled in each of the heat (temperature) environments, which is the dependent variable, for a given equal period of time, which is the control

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature of the pizza = 400°F

The temperature of the freezer = 0°F

The temperature of the refrigerator = 40°F

The temperature of the countertop = 78°F

Given that the independent variable = The heat to which the hot pizza is subjected

The dependent variable = The temperature to which the pizza cools down

The experiment plan includes;

1) Place the pizza which is at 400°F in each of the different heat environment, which are, the freezer, the fridge, and the counter top, for the same period of time and record the final temperature of the pizza

2) The option that gives the lowest final temperature within the same time frame is the option that will let the pizza cool down fastest.

13) The scientist will have 6 grams of product as before but will have two grams of unreacted copper atoms because the mass ratio of copper to sulfur in this reaction is 2:1

Explanation:

12) Phosphorus trichloride has a trigonal pyramidal structure and is composed of three atoms of chlorine and one atom of phosphorus.

In the ball and stick model, an orange ball representing the phosphorus atom and three green balls representing chlorine atoms are connected by means of sticks that are coloured halfway green and orange respectively to represent the shared electrons between phosphorus and chlorine with the chlorine atoms forming the base of a triangular pyramid while the phosphorus atom forms the top of the pyramid.

13) The reaction between copper and sulfur to form copper sulfide is shown in the equation below:

Cu + S ---> CuS

1 mole of copper reacts with 1 mole of sulfur to produce 1 mole of copper sulfide

molar mass of copper = 64 g/mol; molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol, molar mass of copper sulfide = 96 g/mol

mass ratio of copper to sulfur = 63 g/ 34 g = 2

This means that 2 grams of copper will react with 1 g of sulfur to produce 3 grams of product. similarly, 4 g of copper will react with 2 g of sulfur to produce 6 grams of product.

Therefore 6 g of of copper will react with 3 g of sulfur. However, since the amount of sulfur available for reaction is 2 g only, 2 g of copper will be left unreacted after 4 g has reacted completely with 2 g of sulfur to produce 6 g of copper sulfide.
