A student attempted to identify an unknown compound by the method described in this experiment. When he heated a sample weighing 1.031 g the mass went down to 0.688 g. When the product was converted to a chloride the mass went up to 0.748 g. (Answers I got are in bold)

1.Explain if you believe the sample to be a carbonate or hydrogen carbonate. (I said it is a hydrogen carbonate due to the loss of mass)

2.Write the two possible chemical equations for the reaction that that you believe occurred; one for sodium and one for potassium (carbonate or hydrogen carbonate). (we are supposed to use these two formulas but I am not sure how: 2XHCO3→ X2CO3 + H2O + CO2 this is hydrogen carbonate X2CO3 + 2 H+ + 2 Cl-→ 2 XCl + H2O + CO2 This one is for the hydrochloric acid being added)

3.Show by calculation how many moles of the chloride salt would be produced from one mole of original compound; one for sodium and one for potassium (carbonate or hydrogen carbonate).

4.Fill out the following information to help you determine how many grams of the chloride salt would be produced from one molar mass of original compound?

If NaHCO3 ____________ g original compound → ____________ g chloride

If KHCO3 ____________ g original compound → ____________ g chloride

If Na2CO3 ____________ g original compound → ____________ g chloride

If K2CO3 ____________ g original compound → ____________ g chloride

5.Calculate the theoretical value of Q for all 4 compounds

6.What was the student’s observed value of Q? ( I got 1.378 since this is calculated by original mass divided by final mass)

7.Which compound did the student have as their unknown?

In an experiment involving the breaking strength of a certain type of thread used in personal flotation devices, one batch of thread was subjected to a heat treatment for 60 seconds and another batch was treated for 120 seconds. The breaking strengths (in N) of ten threads in each batch were measured. The results were

60 seconds: 43 52 52 58 49 52 41 52 56 50 120

seconds: 59 55 59 66 62 55 57 66 66 51

Let μX represent the population mean for threads treated for 120 seconds and let μY represent the population mean for threads treated for 60 seconds. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference μX−μY . Round down the degrees of freedom to the nearest integer and round the answers to three decimal places.

The 99% confidence interval is ( , ).

(12pts) An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of age on heart rate when a person is subjected to a specific amount of exercise. Ten male subjects were randomly selected from four age groups: 10-19, 20-39, 40-59, and 60-69. Each subject walked on a treadmill at a fixed grade for a period of 12 minutes, and the increase in heart rate, the difference before and after exercise, was recorded (in beats per minute). Answer the questions based on the printout.

In an experiment, 25.5 g of metal was heated to 98.0°C and then quickly transferred to 150.0 g of water in a calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water was 23.0°C, and the final temperature after the addition of the metal was 32.5°C. Assume the calorimeter behaves ideally and does not absorb or release heat.

1.) What is the value of the specific heat capacity (in J/g•°C) of the metal?
