A student is given a sample of a pink manganese (II) chloride hydrate. She weighs the sample in a dry, covered crucible and obtains a mass of 26.742g for the crucible, cover, and sample. Earlier she had found that the crucible and cover weighed 23.599g. She then heats the crucible to drive off the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for about 10 minutes with the cover slightly ajar. She then lets the crucible cool and finds it has a lower mass; the crucible, cover and contents then weigh 25.598g. In the process the sample was converted to off-white anhydrous MnCl2. a. What was the mass of the hydrate sample? _ghydrate b. What is the mass of the anhydrous MnCl2? _gMnCl2 c. How much water was driven off? _gH2O d.

The mystery fuel speedster! (Homework ) For fun, you build an explosive car with your little brother by attaching wheels to an empty windshield washer container. To advance it, you add 1.20 ml ( = 0.7915 g/ml) of a liquid but volatile fuel into the container. You close the cap and shake to evaporate the liquid. Finally, you place the car on its wheels, remove the cap and insert a burning wooden rod into the container. A flame suddenly comes out of the car, which is propelled with good speed in front of your little brother surprised, but all upset by the maneuver. The volatile fuel is composed of 37.5% carbon, 12.6% hydrogen and 49.9% oxygen. Its molar mass is approximately 32.0 g/mol. During the reaction, the fuel (gaseous) burns in the presence of gaseous oxygen, and the products of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water, gaseous too. The volume of the windshield washer container used is 4.00 litres. Useful Info: There is 21.0% gaseous oxygen in the air and initial conditions…
both chemical and flame tests are used to positively identify carbon dioxide gas. true false
A student dissolves 10.3g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in 300.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. He then observes the temperature of the water fall from 22.0°C to 19.3°C over the course of 3.1 minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: NH4NO3s -> NH+4aq + NO−3aq You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case. Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of NH4NO3.

Molecular Products produces three chemicals: B, C, and D. The company begins by purchasing chemical A for a cost of $650 per 100 liters. For an additional cost of $320 and the use of three hours of skilled labor, 100 liters of A can be transformed into 40 liters of C and 60 liters of B. Chemical C can either be sold or processed further. It costs $130 and one hour of skilled labor to process 100 liters of C into 60 liters of D and 40 liters of B. For each chemical, the selling price per 100 liters and the maximum amount (in 100s of liters) that can be sold are listed in the file P04_93.xlsx. A maximum of 200 labor hours is available.

Cloth can be waterproofed by coating it with a silicone layer. This is done by exposing the cloth to (CH3)2SiCl2 vapor. The silicon compound reacts with OH groups on the doth to form a waterproofing film (density = 1.0 g/cm3) of [(CH3)2SiO]n, where n is a large integer number. n (CH3)2SiCl2 + 2n OH 2n Cl + n H2O + [(CH3)2SiO]n The coating is added layer by layer, with each layer of [(CH3)2SiO]n being 0.60 nm thick. Suppose you want to waterproof a piece of doth that is 3.00 square meters, and you want 250 layers of waterproofing compound on the cloth. What mass of (CH3)2SiCl2 do you need?
Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30.

Ammonium chloride and calcium hydroxide can react. The ammonia that is released in the reaction is collected in a gas syringe and sealed in. This gas is allowed to come to room temperature which is 32.0oC. The volume of the ammonia is found to be 182 ml. It is now placed in a water bath set at 47.6oC. What will be the volume reading after the syringe has been left in the bath for some time. (assume the plunger moves completely freely)?
