    Chemistry Homework Help: Solubility?

    How many grams of KCl could dissolve in 100 g of water at 60 degrees Celcius? (Hint: use the graph)

    KCl is the green line.

    I see that 60 degrees is approximately 30 grams of KCl. I just don't know what to do from here on.

    Can you explain how I can find the answer?

  • Chemistry Homework Help: Stoichiometric Calculations?

    How many g of zinc are required to produced 50g of hydrogen when reacting zinc with sulphuric acid?

    How many grams of sulphuric acid are required in the previous problem?

    I answered:

    1. How many g of zinc are required to produced 50g of hydrogen when reacting zinc with sulphuric acid?

    Answer-

    Zn + H2SO4 = ZnSO4 + H2

    Molar mass of Zn – 65.4 g/mol

    = 50 g/mol of H * 1 g/mol of H/ 2 moles of H * 65.4 g/mol of Zn/1 mole of Zn

    = 50 g/mol of H/2 moles of H * 65.4 g/mol of Zn/1 mole of Zn

    = 25 g of H * 65.4 g/mol of Zn/1 mole of Zn

    = 1612.5 g/mol of Zn/1 mole of Zn

    = 1612.5 grams

    = 1612.5 grams of zinc is required to produce 50 g of hydrogen.

    2. How many grams of sulphuric acid are required in the previous problem?

    Answer-

    Molar mass of H2SO4

    H- 1 g/mol

    My teacher told me the answer is wrong, Any idea where I went wrong?

  • PHYSICS HOMEWORK HELP: Electrical Fields?

    Some stoves use the heat produced by current flowing through a conductor. If the heating element (conductor) has a resistance of 30 ohms, how long will the burner have to work to heat 500 g of 30°C water up to its boiling point? The specific heat of water is 4.19 x 103 J/kg·°C, and the household voltage is (120V).

    Can you please list out all the steps required? I've tried to solve this twice, but ended up with the wrong answer.

  • CHEMISTRY HOMEWORK HELP: Hess's Law?

    When eaten, oil molecules, such as those in olive oil, go through hundreds of reactions in the human body. Eventually, though, the final result is that the oil molecules and oxygen (breathed from the air) are metabolized into carbon dioxide and water molecules. If you add up the enthalpies of all the reactions involved in this process, would the overall result be exothermic or endothermic?

    My teacher told me the answer is simple all I have to do is read Hess's law. I've reread Hess's law 3 times and I just can't grasp it how to answer this.
