How many molecules are there in a 42.3 g sample of water, H2O?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to figure out how many molecules of water are present in that  

48.90-g

sample, you first need to determine how many moles of water you have there.

As you know, a mole is simply a very large collection of molecules. In order to have one mole of something, you need to have exactly  

6.022

10

23

molecules of that something - this is known as Avogadro's number.

In order to get to moles, you must use water's molar mass. A substance's molar mass tells you the mass of one mole of molecules of said substance.

Water has a molar mass of  

18.015 g/mol

. This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of  

18.015 g

.

So, to sum this up,  

6.022

10

23

molecules of water will amount to  

1 mole

of water, which in turn will have a mass of  

18.015 g

.

किसी पदार्थ की ऊष्मीय चालकता को प्रति इकाई तापमान अंतर के प्रति इकाई क्षेत्र की सामग्री की एक इकाई मोटाई के माध्यम से गर्मी हस्तांतरण की दर के रूप में परिभाषित किया गया है। किसी पदार्थ की ऊष्मीय चालकता इस बात का माप है कि उस पदार्थ में कितनी तीव्र ऊष्मा प्रवाहित होगी। थर्मल चालकता के लिए एक बड़ा मूल्य इंगित करता है कि सामग्री एक अच्छा गर्मी कंडक्टर है, और एक कम मूल्य इंगित करता है कि सामग्री एक खराब गर्मी कंडक्टर या इन्सुलेटर है। कमरे के तापमान पर शुद्ध तांबे की तापीय चालकता 401 W / m है। K, जो इंगित करता है कि एक 1m मोटी तांबे की दीवार 401 W / m 2 की दर से गर्मी का संचालन करेगीप्रति दीवार के क्षेत्र का अंतर दीवार के पार तापमान अंतर। चित्रा 2.3 सामान्य तापमान और दबाव में पदार्थ के विभिन्न राज्यों के लिए तापीय चालकता की सीमा को दर्शाता है। एक ठोस की ऊष्मीय चालकता, गैस की तुलना में चार गुना अधिक परिमाण की हो सकती है। यह प्रवृत्ति काफी हद तक दोनों राज्यों के बीच अंतर-संबंधी अंतर के कारण है।

ठोस राज्य

सामग्रियों के आधुनिक दृष्टिकोण में, एक ठोस में मुक्त इलेक्ट्रॉनों और एक आवधिक व्यवस्था में बाध्य परमाणुओं का समावेश हो सकता है जिसे जाली कहा जाता है। तदनुसार, थर्मल ऊर्जा का परिवहन दो प्रभावों के कारण होता है: मुक्त इलेक्ट्रॉनों का पलायन और जाली कंपन तरंगें। ये प्रभाव योगात्मक हैं, जैसे कि तापीय चालकता k , इलेक्ट्रॉनिक घटक k e और समरूप घटक k l का योग है

k = k e + k l

(2.7)

सामान्य तापमान और दबाव में विभिन्न राज्यों के लिए थर्मल चालकता की 2.3 रेंज चित्रा

k e विद्युत प्रतिरोधकता के व्युत्क्रमानुपाती होता है । शुद्ध धातुओं के लिए, जो कम के हैं , k e , k l की तुलना में बहुत बड़ा है । इसके विपरीत, मिश्र धातुओं के लिए, जो कि काफी बड़े होते हैं , k l से k का योगदान अब नगण्य नहीं है। गैर-धात्विक ठोस के लिए, k को मुख्य रूप से k l द्वारा निर्धारित किया जाता है , जो कि जाली के परमाणुओं के बीच परस्पर क्रिया की आवृत्ति पर निर्भर करता है। जाली व्यवस्था की नियमितता का k l पर महत्वपूर्ण प्रभाव पड़ता है , क्रिस्टलीय (सुव्यवस्थित) सामग्री की तरह, क्वार्ट्ज जैसी सामग्री में कांच जैसी अनाकार सामग्री की तुलना में अधिक ऊष्मीय चालकता होती है। वास्तव में, क्रिस्टलीय के लिए, गैर-धात्विक ठोस जैसे कि हीरा और बेरिलियम ऑक्साइड, k l काफी बड़े हो सकते हैं, जो कि अच्छे कंडक्टरों से जुड़े k के मूल्यों से अधिक होते हैं , जैसे कि एल्यूमीनियम।

इन्सुलेशन सिस्टम

थर्मल इंसुलेशन में कम तापीय चालकता वाली सामग्री शामिल होती है, जो एक कम प्रणाली वाली तापीय चालकता को प्राप्त करने के लिए संयुक्त होती है। फाइबर-, पाउडर-, फ्लेक-टाइप इंसुलेशन में, ठोस पदार्थ को पूरी तरह से एक एयर स्पेस में फैलाया जाता है। ऐसी प्रणालियों को एक प्रभावी तापीय चालकता की विशेषता होती है , जो ठोस पदार्थ की तापीय चालकता और सतह विकिरणकारी गुणों पर निर्भर करती है, साथ ही साथ हवा या शून्य स्थान की प्रकृति और मात्रात्मक अंश। प्रणाली का एक विशेष पैरामीटर इसकी थोक घनत्व (ठोस द्रव्यमान / कुल मात्रा) है, जो उस तरीके पर दृढ़ता से निर्भर करता है जिसमें ठोस सामग्री परस्पर जुड़ी हुई है।

द्रवित अवस्था

चूंकि इंटरमॉलिक्युलर स्पेसिंग बहुत बड़ी होती है और अणु की गति ठोस अवस्था की तुलना में द्रव अवस्था के लिए अधिक यादृच्छिक होती है, इसलिए थर्मल एनर्जी ट्रांसपोर्ट कम प्रभावी होता है। इसलिए गैसों और तरल पदार्थों की तापीय चालकता ठोस पदार्थों की तुलना में छोटी होती है।

ऊष्मीय विसरणशीलता

गर्मी हस्तांतरण समस्याओं के हमारे विश्लेषण में, पदार्थ के कई गुणों का उपयोग करना आवश्यक होगा। इन गुणों को आम तौर पर थर्मोफिजिकल गुणों के रूप में संदर्भित किया जाता है और इसमें दो अलग-अलग श्रेणियां, परिवहन और थर्मोडायनामिक गुण शामिल होते हैं। परिवहन गुणों में प्रसार दर गुणांक जैसे कि के, थर्मल चालकता (गर्मी हस्तांतरण के लिए), और , गतिज चिपचिपापन (गति हस्तांतरण के लिए) शामिल हैं। दूसरी ओर, थर्मोडायनामिक गुण, एक प्रणाली के संतुलन की स्थिति से संबंधित हैं। घनत्व ( ) और विशिष्ट ऊष्मा ( C p ) दो ऐसे गुण हैं जिनका उपयोग थर्मोडायनामिक विश्लेषण में बड़े पैमाने पर किया जाता है। उत्पाद सी पीआम तौर पर वॉल्यूमेट्रिक ताप क्षमता को कहा जाता है , जो थर्मल ऊर्जा को स्टोर करने के लिए एक सामग्री की क्षमता को मापता है। क्योंकि बड़े घनत्व के पदार्थों को आमतौर पर छोटे विशिष्ट हीट्स, कई ठोस और तरल पदार्थों की विशेषता होती है, जो कि बहुत अच्छा ऊर्जा भंडारण मीडिया है, इसमें तुलनीय ताप क्षमता होती है। हालांकि उनकी बहुत छोटी घनत्व के कारण, गैसें थर्मल ऊर्जा भंडारण के लिए खराब अनुकूल हैं।

ऊष्मा अंतरण विश्लेषण में, ऊष्मा चालकता के लिए तापीय चालकता का अनुपात एक महत्वपूर्ण गुण है जिसे तापीय विवर्तनशीलता कहा जाता है , जिसमें m 2 / s की इकाइयाँ होती हैं ।

(2.8)

यह तापीय ऊर्जा को संग्रहीत करने की क्षमता के सापेक्ष तापीय ऊर्जा का संचालन करने के लिए एक सामग्री की क्षमता को मापता है। बड़ी की सामग्री उनके थर्मल वातावरण में बदलाव के लिए जल्दी से प्रतिक्रिया देगी, जबकि छोटे की सामग्री अधिक सुस्त प्रतिक्रिया देगी, एक नई संतुलन स्थिति तक पहुंचने में अधिक समय लेगी।

calculate the percentage of calcium in calcium chlorate

Answers

Answer:

19.4%

Explanation:

Calcium Chlorate is Ca(ClO3)2

Now calculate the molar mass of Ca(ClO3)2

Ca = 40.1

Cl = 35.5

O = 16.0

But they are two chlorine atoms and six oxygen atoms. So you do this:

40.1 + 35.5(2) + 16.0(6) = 207.1 grams

Now find the molar mass of just calcium.

There is only one calcium atom.

So you do this.

40.1(1) = 40.1

Now divide the molar mass of calcium by the molar mass of calcium chlorate.

40.1 / 207.1 = 0.1936

0.1936 rounds to 0.194

Now multiply 0.194 * 100 and you will get 19.4

So the final answer is 19.4%.

Answers

Answer:

0.21 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Partial pressure of N₂ (P₁) = 0.78 atm

Partial pressure of Ar (P₂) = 0.01 atm

Partial pressure of O₂ (P₃) =?

Since the system is at standard temperature and pressure (STP), the total pressure of the system is 1 atm.

Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Partial pressure of N₂ (P₁) = 0.78 atm

Partial pressure of Ar (P₂) = 0.01 atm

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 1 atm

Partial pressure of O₂ (P₃) =?

Pₜ = P₁ + P₂ + P₃

1 = 0.78 + 0.01 + P₃

1 = 0.79 + P₃

Collect like terms

1 – 0.79 = P₃

P₃ = 0.21 atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of O₂ is 0.21 atm.

describe how atomic emission Spectra give us information about the energy levels of electrons in atoms ​

Answers

Answer:

Energy of atom is in lowest. The energy of electrons are given energy. The electrons absorb energy. Its converted to higher level of energy.

When excited electrons return to their ground state, atomic emission spectra are produced. When electrons return to a lower energy level, they emit light energy.

What is atomic emission Spectra?

The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation frequencies emitted as a result of an electron transitioning from a high energy state to a lower energy state.

The emitted photon's photon energy equals the energy difference between the two states.

Atomic emission spectra provided further evidence of light's quantized nature, leading to the development of a new model of the atom based on quantum theory.

When excited electrons return to their ground state, atomic emission spectra are produced. The light emitted corresponds to the energies of the specific electrons.

Thus, this way atomic emission Spectra give us information about the energy levels of electrons in atoms .

Emperical formula = FeO

Empirical formula is the whole number ratios of elements in a compound. It can be found from the number of moles. The empirical formula of iron and oxygen of 72.4 % and 27.6 % respectively is Fe₂O₃.

What is empirical formula?

Empirical formula of a compound is the chemical formula derived from the number of moles each element present in it.  Whereas, molecular formula is derived from the actual masses of the elements present in the compound.

Empirical formula can be determined from the number of moles of the elements. It is given that the mass percentages of iron and oxygen are 72.40% and 27.60% respectively. This can be taken as 72.40 g and 27.60 g in a 100 g of compound.

Thus there is 72.40 g of iron. The atomic mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mol

Thus number of moles of Fe = 72.40 / 55.85

                                               = 1.295

The weight of oxygen in 100 g of compound is 27.60 g. Atomic mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol.

Thus number of moles of oxygen = 27.60 /16 = 1.725

Taking the ratios of these number of moles = 1.295 :1.725 = 2 :3

Hence, the ratios of iron to oxygen is 2:3 which means the empirical formula of the compound is Fe₂O₃.

This would make cookbooks, Sears, Roebuck catalogues, and telephone books science, which they are not. Sometimes science is defined simply as rationality, but that would make much of theology and metaphysics science, which they are not. Rationality is logical consistency, lack of contradiction. It is to be distinguished from reasonableness, the quality of a mind open to arguments and evidence opposed to its beliefs: a willingness to reconsider. Rationalists can be quite unreasonable or dogmatic. Rationalist metaphysicians and theologians are often certain about premises which come from intuition or revelation. Even paranoiacs may be thought of as rationalists, for they are commonly most rigorous in reasoning. But their premises, which they cling to in spite of all evidence, are absurd.WHAT SCIENCE ISScience is empirical, rational, general, and cumulative; and it is all four at once. Science is empirical in that all its conclusions are subject to test by sense experience. Observation is the base on which science rests, but scientific observation is more than keeping ones eyes open. It is observation made by qualified observers under controlled conditions of those things which confirm or disconfirm, verify or refute a theory. Sherlock Holmes* could tell by the stains on a vest what a man had eaten for breakfast. From a number of such observations he arrived at a theory about why and how a particular crime was committed. This procedure is excellent for detection but insufficient for science, because it yields only knowledge of particular events. Science would go on to ask why and how crime, not a particular crime, is committed. Science uses facts to test general theories and general theories to make predictions about particular facts.Scientific observations may be made of things as they exist, like the color of an apple or the temperature of the air, or it may be made of what results from an experiment. An experiment is the deliberate manipulation of conditions in order to bring about what we want to observe. If we want to test the hypothesis that a new plastic can withstand two hundred pounds of pressure without crumbling, we may have to create a situation in which such pressure is applied to a piece of the plastic, because it is unlikely that the situation already exists anywhere in the world, or if it does, that all other factors are kept constant. In some sciences, like astronomy, we do not sufficiently control the subject matter to experiment on italthough we do control the conditions of observationand we distinguish those sciences from others, like chemistry, in which experiment is possible, by calling the latter experimental sciences.Although all scientific thought ultimately rests on observation, there are vast portions of it which are entirely rational: analysis of the meaning of terms, deductions from existent theories, explorations of the logical relations among concepts and among theories. Logic is applied to science constantly because logic contains the rules of valid thinking. The application of mathematics is often thought, erroneously, to be an index of the status of any science. Of course, the more it can be applied usefully within a science, the more advanced the science. For mathematics functions both as a language in which scientific laws are stated, giving them the utmost precision, elegance, and economy, and as the basis of measurement. Many of the most significant advances in physics, astronomy, and chemistry have depended on advances in and application of mathematics. Without calculus the work of Isaac Newton would have been impossible. Yet great scientific work in other fields, performed by men like Pasteur, Darwin, and Pavlov (with whose names pasteurization, evolution, and conditioned response in psychology are associated), has used little or no mathematics.In the second sentence of the first paragraph, the authors mention cookbooks, catalogues, and telephone books primarily toillustrate the broad array of objects that are organized by scientific principlesillustrate the broad array of objects that are organized by scientific principlesAconcede that rational argumentation can sometimes lead to absurd conclusionsconcede that rational argumentation can sometimes lead to absurd conclusionsBdemonstrate that a particular definition of science is overly inclusivedemonstrate that a particular definition of science is overly inclusiveCcondemn those who erroneously regard such works as forms of sciencecondemn those who erroneously regard such works as forms of scienceDhighlight the inherent difficulty of distinguishing science from other types of knowledge Example 3L1 and 22 form a linear pair.
