Explain how the copper could be in the lake sample near the picnic area but not have been detected by this test.

Answers

Answer:

May be the instrument is incorrect or may be error in it.

Explanation:

The copper have not been detected by this test because the test may be not for the detection of copper, may be it is used for identification of another minerals. If there is copper in the lake sample but can't be detected in the test so it means that the instrument which is used for detection is not the right one  or having error in that instrument. Every mineral has a specific type of instrument that detect its presence, if we use incorrect instrument for the mineral then we can't detect the presence of that specific mineral.

Answers

Answer:

a. Indivisible.

b. Mass.

c. Masses.

d. Compound.

e. Elements.

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Hence, all the physical properties of a mineral result from the mineral's internal arrangement of atoms.

The following are statements postulated by the Dalton's atomic model;

a) Elements are composed of minute, indivisible particles called atoms.

b) Atoms of the same element are alike in mass and size.

c) Atoms of different elements have different masses and sizes.

d) Chemical compound are formed by the union of two or more different atoms of different elements.

e) Atoms combine to form compounds in simple numerical ratios, such as one to one, one to two, etc.

f) Atoms of two elements may combine in different ratios to form more than one compound.

Characteristic orange light produced by sodium in a fl ame is due to an intense emission called the sodium D line, which is actually a doublet, with wavelengths (measured in vacuum) of 589.157 88 and 589.755 37 nm. The index of refraction of air at a wavelength near 589 nm is 1.000 292 6. Calculate the frequency, wavelength, and wavenumber of each component of the D line, measured in air.

Answers

Answer:

a. i. 5.092 × 10²⁰ Hz ii. 588.98554 nm ii. 10667809.11 rad/m

b. i. 5.087 × 10²⁰ Hz ii. 589.58286 nm iii. 10657001.3 rad/m

Explanation:

refractive index, n = λ/λ'  where λ = wavelength in vacuum = and λ' = wavelength in air

a. For λ = 589.15788 nm,

i. Frequency,

f = c/λ where c = speed of light in vacuum = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and λ = 589.15788 nm = 589.15788 × 10⁻⁹ m

So, f = 3 × 10⁸ m/s ÷ 589.15788 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 0.005092 × 10¹⁷ /s

= 5.092 × 10²⁰ /s

= 5.092 × 10²⁰ Hz

ii. Wavelength,

Since n = λ/λ'  where λ = wavelength in vacuum = and λ' = wavelength in air

and n = 1.0002926

λ' = λ/n

= 589.15788 nm/1.0002926

= 588.98554 nm

iii. Wave number, k

k = 2π/λ'

= 2π/588.98554 nm

= 0.01066780911 rad/nm

= 0.01066780911 rad/nm × 10⁹ nm/1m

= 10667809.11 rad/m

b. For λ = 589.755 37 nm.,

i. Frequency,

f = c/λ where c = speed of light in vacuum = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and λ = 589.755 37 nm. = 589.755 37 × 10⁻⁹ m

So, f = 3 × 10⁸ m/s ÷ 589.755 37 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 0.005087 × 10¹⁷ /s

= 5.087 × 10²⁰ /s

= 5.087 × 10²⁰ Hz

ii. Wavelength,

Since n = λ/λ'  where λ = wavelength in vacuum = and λ' = wavelength in air

and n = 1.0002926

λ' = λ/n

= 589.755 37 nm./1.0002926

= 589.58286 nm

iii. Wave number, k

k = 2π/λ'

= 2π/589.58286 nm

= 0.0106570013 rad/nm

= 0.0106570013  rad/nm × 10⁹ nm/1m

= 10657001.3 rad/m

Hello there!

In this case according to the described reaction between sodium metal and water, we can write up the chemical equation whereas the products turn out to be sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:

AQRS is an isosceles triangle. What is the length of RT

? Round to the nearest hundredth. Enter your answer in the box.

11 cm

a

T 6cm s

Answers

Answer:

Length of RT = 9.22 cm to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Considering the image up in the attachment, ΔRST is a right-angled triangle.

The length of two sides of ΔRST is given as 11cm and 6 cm. The length of the third side which is RT can be obtained using Pythagoras ' rule which says that the sum of the squares of two sides of a right-angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

This rule is given as: c² = b² + a² where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

In ΔRST, the length of the hypotenuse = 11 cm, the length of one of the two sides = 6cm, length of RT = x

Solving for x: (11 cm)² =  (x cm)² + (6 cm)²

(x cm)² = 121 cm² - 36 cm²

(x cm)² = 85 cm²

x cm = √85

x = 9.22 cm to the nearest hundredth

Therefore, length of RT = 9.22 cm to the nearest hundredth

With all the ions, it is

[tex]Ag^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]NO_{3} ^{-}[/tex](aq) + [tex]K^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex](aq)  ==> AgCl(s) +

[tex]K^{+}[/tex] and [tex]NO_{3} ^{-}[/tex] do not change, so they are the spectator ions and are removed

The heat capacity of aluminum is 0.900 J/gºC. a. How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of an 8.50 x 102g block of aluminum from 22.8°C to 94.6°C? ​

Answers

Recall the heat capacity equation:

q = mc∆T

We're given mass, specific heat capacity, as well as the change in temperature. All we need to do is plug the numbers into the variables and we'll have our answer!

Although this question doesn't try to trick you, more often than not questions regarding energy change will attempt to throw you off with specific heat capacity. It's extremely important to note the units of the specific heat capacity and ensure that the numbers you use are in those units. As an example, the specific heat capacity might be given to you in J/mol*K - in this case, you'd have to do some unit conversions with your given data in order to fit all the numbers. In this question, we're given the specific heat capacity in J/gºC, so we don't need to change anything since all of our data is already in these units.

Anyways, back to the actual question:

q = mc∆T

q = (8.50 * [tex]10^{2}[/tex]) * (0.900) * (94.6 - 22.8)

q = 54927 (J)

Remeber to include significant figures:

54927 = 5.49 * 10^4 (J)

The required energy is 5.49 * [tex]10^{4}[/tex] Joules, or 5.49 * [tex]10^{1}[/tex] kJ

17. What is the molarity of ZnCl2 that forms when 15 grams of Zn reacts completely with CuCl, if a
final volume of 175 mL is produced?
Zn + CuCl2 → ZnCl2 + Cu

Answers

Answer:

1.31M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Zn produce 1 mole of ZnCl₂. As the reaction occurs completely, the moles of Zn added = Moles of ZnCl₂ produced. To find molarity we need the moles of ZnCl₂ and the volume of the solution in liters:

Moles Zn = Moles ZnCl₂ -Molar mass Zn: 65.38g/mol-:

15g * (1mol / 65.38g) = 0.23 moles of ZnCl₂

Volume in Liters:

175mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.175L

The molarity is:

0.23moles / 0.175L

1.31M
